I will definitely stay with The Oliver Inn again. It has a unique charm with each room that makes you feel like you're staying in a home. The room was clean and the building was quiet. I used the sauna which was a nice amenity. For no staff on sight, they promptly responded to my texts. I accidentally forgot to text about on time check in and they were very understanding. Great place to stay!

Property is historic, gorgeous, and has huge potential. Unfortunately it was tough to get past the dirtiness all around us. Upon arrival the rug in our room looked like it could use a good vacuuming, plus there was a wad of hair in the shower drain, as well as red lipstick lip marks on the white duvet and the light fixtures were coated in thick dust. We had four people staying in a double queen for 3 nights and upon arrival there were only 4 bath towels, 1 hand towel, and 5 coffees pods. Things we loved: high ceilings, old charm, the fitness center, walkability/location.

Fun Little Piece of History

The Oliver Inn is such a cool little place. It’s a destination of its own. The whole building is decorated in such a style, you forget you’re not on a history tour. The location is great; parking is tricky, but not unbearable. If we ever wander back to Duluth, this is where we will be staying!

Amazing location, we parked and walked to everything. We parked on the street right next to the hotel. We were nervous about the car but everything was fine. The hotel is so unique and each room tells a different story. The beds were super comfortable. The bathroom was huge! Loved the onsite bar!! We will only stay here when in Duluth. Side note food at canal park brewery is excellent and ice cream at love creamery is a must!

Cool hotel with friendly bar on main floor. Beds were comfortable. Room very clean. Easy parking across the street. The only negative was the sad state of downtown Duluth - I wasn't expecting big city problems in a small town (high # of homeless, obnoxious e-bikers along the lake path, etc.).

This place was amazing! Great boutique hotel! Old building vibes with fantastic art and history throughout! Can walk to coffee, deli, restaurants nearby and super close to walkway to lakeshore path and Canal St. Grabbed a drink at the new lounge. No front desk but instructions for check-in/out clear and timely. Great stay for marathon weekend (or any time)!

Started with a reservation snafu, that was quickly sorted by staff via email and text. This is a self check-in hotel that worked smoothly. The room was recently renovated with an enormous bed, clean bathroom and included a mini fridge and coffeemaker. Everything worked as expected. The location is downtown convenient to the Duluth Coffee Company, shopping and the waterfront. WE didn't have the opportunity to visit Sniveleys Lounge in the hotel or the Rathskeller Bar in the basement. Maybe next time!
