Motel 6 in Duluth?

[Babamel2]

anyone ever stop to spend the night at the motel 6 in Duluth? How safe ist it? We would have a boat covered with a tarp and wondering about safety.

Are there any other motels (mom & pop type) between Duluth & Virginia that some of you have used? And feel are safe places to park a rig with a boat overnight

We have stayed at the driftwood motel in Superior on the way home a few times.....Inexpensive,safe,close to a cold one and a sandwich.

If it is the one right off I-35? We stayed one time, place seemed nice at frist but our room had water leak problems from tub/shower leaking. Floor was all wet later that night beside the bed. Duluth is $$$, no deals to be had that I know of. We always stay outside of the city.

If your headed up the hill up Hwy 53 try:

Days Inn, 909 Cottonwood Avenue, Duluth 218-727-3110

Econo Lodge (Haines & Hwy 53) 218-722-5522

1 hour from Duluth try:

Super 8 1080 Industrial Park Eveleth 218-744-1661

AmericInn Motel, 5480 Mountain Iron Dr. Virginia 218-741-7839

All of the above motels are right on Hwy 53.

Good luck!

The AmericInn in Carlton Mn. $53.00 just south of Duluth is the place I will be staying this Aug. Cloquet is also a good place to stay. I also have spent the night in Eveleth also but I think the place has changed hands . It was just north of the hockey hall of fame. It had a nice place to eat and a large open game area with pool and some kind of golf putting area and rooms open to the inside of xtra large game room.

Last August my nephew and I got a very late start coming home and ended up looking for a room in Virginia late at night. The only place with a room was an older motel right on 53. I mention it because it was definitely a mom and pop, and rooms emptied right onto the well lit parking lot, so it should be a safe place for a boat. There was a night manager on duty also. I left my pickup with the bed full of gear in the lot, and felt very comfortable that it would be safe. As I said, it was older, but nice and clean. The problem is, I can't remember the name of it.....I think it was the Budget Host.....maybe someone from the area can help identify it by my description.

The place in Eveleth by the Hockey Hall of Fame is CLOSED.... (used to be a Holiday Inn, then Days Inn) Super 8 is across Hwy 53 from this place....it has a pool too.

The "mom & pop" place on Hwy 53 between Eveleth and Virginia is indeed a Budget Host 218-741-6145
