Absolutely amazing. 10/10 property
Ryan, 1-night trip

Step back in time

Loved the Oliver Inn. Felt as though I had stepped back in time but with all of the modern conveniences. Arriving after dark in downtown Duluth by myself was a little intimidating. I was thankful for the secure garage and coded entries.
Melissa, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice stay.

Great historic renovated hotel. Good security system that is needed in this part of town.

I love staying at old, historic properties, and the Oliver Inn fits the bill.
Monte, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice!

We really enjoyed staying here! Such a cool, cozy place. We do recommend bringing a portable fan if staying in the summer, as it can get a little warm (not horrible though). The beds were very comfortable! We definitely recommend!

The atmosphere and decor were so fun. Perfect walking distance to Canal Park.

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!

Will stay again!

Perfect stay for one night in Duluth. Very well done, keep the charm of the “old” while providing new and updated touches. It’s a little noisy due to the location but over all a wonderful stay. Very clean!
Heidi, 1-night trip

This is a unique historic building right near the lakeside walk within easy access to parks and restaurants.

the stay was fine, the mattress is on the softer side ,but was acceptable
Donald, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great Place but not for average travelling bear.

Would I stay here again? YES! Would I recommend it? YES! But Olivers is not for average travelling bear. Must be able to navigate purely electronic text/web based checkin. No Parking so must navigate similarly difficult garage across street with non-functioning elevator. Sauna is a PLUS amenity!
Mark, 1-night trip

Overall a cute comfortable stay for a short weekend. very convenient to walkable places. Parking garage not the greatest but dont be dumb and leave valuables in sight

Parking problem

We couldn’t get into the ramp to park so we parked on the street and paid there. then when we could get into the ramp there was another fee. Scetchy area. once we got to our room it was clean and comfortable

Craig, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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!

Very unique hotel in a historic building. Any questions or needs were handled by Megan, Lindsey and other available staff. I look forward to staying again and seeing renovations in progress. Great location especially if you like to gamble!

James, 1-night trip

Was super confusing for check in because no front desk or staff. If there was some sort of information or instructions when we walked in it would have been helpful. The ONLY complaint we had was what to do when we needed more toilet paper.
