The Oliver Inn

Great stay

Unique old town Duluth. Daytime walking only Casino not a good area. Parking adds extra cost. Complementary parking would have been nice. Oliver quite costly for what you get. Coffee machine no cups.

This is a very cool and unique property in a fantastic location.

Great little spot just steps from a lot of Duluth's mainstays. Worked great as a home base to attend a wedding out on Park Point. The bed was ridiculously comfy, the bathroom was well appointed, and the little nespresso-style coffee machine became a well-used perk.

Fun coffee shops and retail shopping close by. The decore and ambiance of the hotel were wonderful. No real staff was onsite, but the gentleman who was bartending downstairs was very accommodating. we encountered a few too many "unhoused individuals" near by though.

We booked the last room at the last minute and we lucked out! We’re an older couple and took one of the “hostel” type rooms, with two twin beds, sharing a bathroom with three other rooms. This was absolutely no problem despite the hotel being full. Access to our room was via codes given when making reservations, so no keys to lose! Room was spotless and comfortable, as were the beds. Mini-fridge, microwave and sink with Nespresso (!) and snacks were also in-room. The only drawback was that there was a bit of noise from the AC and some of the other guests who may have visited the Rathskeller upstairs a little longer than they should have. Easy to overlook. Plenty of towels were provided, with a convenient hamper in the shared, spacious and clean bathroom (one shower). We walked to Canal Park to see some sights and have some dinner…lots of choices. Breakfast was close to the hotel…still thinking about the croissant and danish we had. Would definitely recommend this spot.

The room was comfortable and decorated in a fun way

We’ve stayed at The Oliver Inn multiple times and have always had exceptional experiences — which is why we chose to return for this visit. We were genuinely looking forward to another comfortable and enjoyable stay. Unfortunately, this most recent visit fell well short of expectations and came with a series of avoidable frustrations: * We received incorrect information for our door code and spent the first 15 minutes trying to contact customer service just to access our room. This delay caused us to be late for the wedding rehearsal we were in town to attend. * Our reservation confirmation listed us as staying in the Mary McFadden – Room 6, when in fact we were assigned Mary McFadden - Room 7, which caused further confusion. * The confirmation email also stated an 11:00 AM checkout, yet we received a text only 14 hours before departure informing us that checkout was actually at 10:00 AM. * The room temperature could not be adjusted below 73°, which made sleeping extremely uncomfortable. * The bathroom lighting was nearly nonexistent, and even basic amenities like toilet paper were substandard.

Swede Room 1 was freezing with a huge air conditioning vent blowing on the beds almost all the time. Had to sleep under multiple blankets with fleece vest on. I would avoid that room. Shared bathroom floors were dirty, shower drain full of hair, no paper towels in dispenser, ceiling tiles falling. Could not get Rathskeller staff to take our order - they just stood behind the bar eating, talking, looking right at us/ignoring us... So we left! The first floor bar staff in Snively's were great!

Chad was wonderful and helped us with our reservation and the room was very unique; such a fun stay!
