Great location.
I went to 12 Stone Church and the John Maxwell Leadership Center. It was really a great place to learn what I needed to learn. Again, great service and attitudes. I guess Southern Hospitality is real.
Sugarloaf Mill is very close to grab some items for your beloved ones at home. Interstate 85 is just 1/4 mile away.
We were there just overnight but it was nice and clean.
We were there for a Conference so really didn't see much of Duluth.
Very nice city with plenty of local shopping.

12Stone and John Maxwell Leadership Center
Needed a late night drug store open to get cough medicine and at 10:30, there wasn't one. Had to go to Kroger on the other side of the Mall. Needs a little more convenience for those who stay in town for conferences etc.
