Beautiful hotel in downtown Duluth
They have done a really nice job with this property. The room was very clean and nicely decorated. They did a good job communicating door codes and check in information prior to our arrival. The parking garage across the street did seem secure and safe. We did not see anyone loitering. Downtown Duluth was a little rougher than we anticipated and our room had quite a bit of traffic noise with being in the front of the hotel (Mayor Snively). Would likely not be a problem for others, but with kids we are in bed earlier. Overall a fun experience.

Only downfall was that the restaurant is so close to two of the rooms and that the room didn’t have a window. Made me nervous for fire hazards, but that info was available when I booked so it wasn’t a surprise.

We only stayed a night and the room was nice and spacious, the bed was really comfortable. The only issue we had was our room was right across from the restaurant so it was pretty loud. It closes at 9:30 so no bother after they were done cleaning. But communication clear.

Spacious, comfy room, nice touches. Great beds. Nice shower. No window made for great sleeping in! 😀 Everything was easy and convenient. If you go to bed early, the Mary McFadden room might not be for you, as it is across from the sushi restaurant and a little noisy in the evening. Perfect for us!

Duluth Gem
Lovingly restored building of historical significance, clean, and with all necessary modern conveniences including massive streaming TV. #10 Mayor Snively room was 3x size of standard hotel room. Loved the Nespresso machine in the room, but the walk across street to Duluth Coffee co. & their onsite roaster is even better.

It was awesome! I was nervous about the check in process as there is no on-site staff but it was seamless and easy. Location is super convenient for activities in Duluth. Hotel itself has lots of character, was very clean and nice, and quiet. Both of my young children wanted to stay another night! Excellent amenities as well

The area has a lot of homeless people and questionable people. But the parking ramp across the street is the most secure parking ramp ive seen and ive traveled all over US. Plus the security guards are very friendly ans helpful. The area doesnt bother me but it might other people

This was a beautiful boutique inn. They take care to ensure you have everything you need, providing contact information in the event there is anything you need. The contactless check-in and check-out process is seamless. I would definitely recommend The Oliver Inn. A very nice option away from the standard hotel options. Very nice and caring staff.

This place is definitely unique. The beds were comfortable, nice linens and pillows. Bathroom was clean, hot water, updated shower. There was a mini fridge, ceiling fan and extra fans. The room was a little warm, temp control was locked. I stayed in room 5 and I could smell the restaurant that is attached especially when I turned on the bathroom light/fan. This room is on the lower level and faces the road. It was pretty noisy with vehicle traffic at night and people hanging outside the building. I definitely wouldn’t feel safe walking at night outside this area. I would stay here again depending on the reason for my Duluth visit.
