Park Point Marina Inn
Duluth’s #1 Award Winning Waterfront Resort
Stay Smart. Stay Healthy.
Enjoy your getaway with the up most confidence as you stay with a 2020’s Best of Housekeeping Award winner. With the Governor’s new guidelines on January 6, 2021, some of our amenities will have limited capacity or be temporarily closed. We have strategically implemented a Stay Smart, Stay Healthy program through the guidance and coordination with the CDC, MN State Health Department, Minnesota Governor’s office, and the city of Duluth.
- 1) In accordance with the Duluth City’s ordinance and the Governor’s mandate, masks are required to be worn at check-in by all guests and anytime they are in the public areas on property inside the resort building. All team members are required to wear masks and gloves while working. If you don’t have a mask, one will be provided for you for free while supplies last.
Note: DURING THIS PANDEMIC, OUR TEAM MEMBERS AND GUEST’S HEALTH IS OUR TOP PRIORITY AND THAT IS WHY THE CITY OF DULUTH AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA IS REQUIRING ALL TEAM MEMBERS AND GUESTS TO WEAR MASKS WHILE IN ALL INSIDE PUBLIC SPACES. Wearing a face mask may not prevent a healthy person from getting the virus. However, masks prevent COVID-19 positive guests from spreading the virus to others. Studies show that many people with COVID-19 lack symptoms and will never get symptoms, known as “super carriers”. People who eventually develop symptoms can give the virus to others before they show symptoms. The Center for Disease Control recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings. We apologize in advance if you feel that this requirement is intrusive and or uncomfortable for you and we can appreciate if you choose to cancel your reservation because of it, following our cancellation policies. But please understand we are 100% committed to providing the absolute best and safest environment that we can, without exception. Thank you for your patronage.
- 2) With bars and restaurants now open, but with limited capacity and hours, we have reopened our shuttle service at their high demand times, but with limited availability. We are running our shuttle van on the weekends only (Fri – Sat), which means shuttle van will not be operating during the weekdays (Sun-Thur). Additionally, our shuttle van will now have a capacity limit of 6 people to maintain 6 feet of social distancing.
- 3) To avoid cross contamination, cash will no longer be accepted for any transaction. Resort will only take credit card payment for all room charges. All lounge, gift shop and any other purchases will be entered as a room charge.
- 4) To reduce contact between staff and guests we have suspended stayover housekeeping service. Guests may call down to the front desk to request towels and/or toiletries that will be put in a bag and placed outside your door and then they will knock on your door.
- 5) Plexiglass barriers have been installed at all front desk stations and in our lounge.
- 6) Stanchions have been placed at the front desk to assist with social distancing and new check in safety procedures.
- 7) All team members have their temperature taken before each shift and fill out a COVID-19 safety questionnaire.
- 8) In working with our chemical sanitizer vendor, Ecolab, and the MN state Health Department, we have designed a new cleaning and sanitizing program of our rooms and public spaces that greatly enhance our COVID-19 cleaning coverage and standards.
Minnesota Health Department COVID-19 Hotel Mandates
The Minnesota State Health Department has put in place certain requirements and guidelines for hotel operations. The changes are as follows:

To maintain 6 feet social distancing, all guests will be required to take their Sunnyside grab-and-go breakfast to their room. MN Health Department requirements state that no more than 2 people can be in the breakfast area at one time. Public lobby coffee service has been suspended due to COVID guidelines; therefore, we have placed extra coffee packets in your room to enjoy.

The MN State Health Department requires that hotel saunas and hot tubs remain closed. Due to the nature of its size, our fitness center is currently limited to 1 person at a time.
