Barkers Island Inn has been a beloved place for my family for years, but there are noticeable areas for improvement. While the hotel benefits from a spacious layout and enjoyable pool area, the outdated rooms and chaotic hot tub situation left me wanting more. Overall, I appreciate the value for money but hope for some updates and changes to enhance the experience.

I have loved staying at this hotel over the years because of its charm and beautiful views. However, the amenities, especially the rooms, are in desperate need of renovation. While the staff was accommodating and the restaurant offered a pleasant dining experience, the noise from children in the hot tub was disruptive, and some areas felt outdated. Despite these issues, I still cherish my visits here and hope for improvements in the future.

I had a pleasant two-night stay at this resort. The location offered great views of Duluth at night, and the amenities were quite nice, especially the pool and hot tub. However, the room had a musty smell, and the air conditioning didn't seem to do its job effectively, making it hot and stuffy at times.

We had a lovely stay at Barkers Island Inn, where the rooms were clean and spacious, and the amenities made our trip enjoyable. The pool and hot tub were highlights for our family, and the overall vibe was friendly and accommodating. However, some areas, like the exterior, could use some updating, and there were minor issues with our room that needed addressing. For the price we paid, based on the family-friendly atmosphere, it felt like a great value.
