TDY Gouge - Minnesota

Duluth, MN - Duluth is not as bad as you may think. Their is an area on the waterfront with outstanding hotels and brew pubs. The ANG uses the Days Inn for their out of towners, but don't think you have to go there!!!!!!! The Comfort Inn and Suites looks very nice with a view of Lake Superior. Overall great food......nice people! Try not to stay greater then one night if possible. Fitzgers is the local brew and rates as an OUTSTANDING.

Minneapolis, MN - Holiday Inn Metrodome is downtown, near the metrodome and right next to the University of Minnesota. About a 15 minute drive from the airport and to the Mall of America. Great bars within 200 feet of Hotel. Go to Sgt Prestons Bar and order a fish-bowl--a fish-bowl full of your favorite alcoholic beverage. Days-Inn Mall of America (612) 854-8400does not cater to the crew dog at all. Made reservations for a crew of 6 and held them all on my credit card. Ended up flying to SC that night and called to cancel all 6 rooms. Instead, the hotel cancelled my room, but not the other 5...ended up with a $500.00 room charge that the hotel said they would NOT reimburse me for, even though the original resrvation was cancelled.
