The Oliver Inn was such a great place to stay. The history of the building, architectural design, and the speakeasy made this trip a one of a kind experience. With the location so close to the walking path to Fitgers and Canal Park, we were able to enjoy all our favorite places in Duluth. The view of the lake from our suite was beautiful!

Great Place to Stay
It was good, clean, and nicely decorated. The Oliver Inn has much more character than most hotels, in a good way. The rooms are nice even without windows, as it gives the illusion of having windows.

Oliver Inn was a fantastic way to get to know Duluth. Very convenient for the canal and bridge, shopping, restaurants, walking and sightseeing. It may not be for everyone, however. It is a historic building, whose rooms have PERSONALITY galore. We stayed in the Dorothy Arnold room (12) with 4 poster bed, high ceilings, wood floors, loveseat, bathroom en suite. You enter the building through a Japanese restaurant, then climb the stairs or take the elevator to the next floor where you are instantly transported to the early 1900's. Comfortable and relaxing place if you enjoy that sort of thing, which we do. It has the mod-cons you expect in a nice comfortable room, but they are meant to blend into the time period.

Loved the vibe of this hotel! Very much giving Sex in the City! I do, however, wish that check in could have been earlier than 4pm without an additional fee, but other than that we loved our stay here and would definitely stay again as well as recommend to our family and friends!

This is a unique place to stay, with an interesting connection to Duluth history. The beds were very comfortable, off-site service was extremely responsive, and the entire property was very clean. Assuming you appreciate the difference between this property and a more typical hotel, you will enjoy a stay here very much.

Tough to keep track of all the emails with information such as access codes for front door and the room door. An interesting and historic building, that smells like restaurant fryer oil on the main floor. Municipal parking ramp across the road is not typical. You park and pay online then access the next day can be difficult. I couldn’t find an unlocked door this morning. Had to wait for someone to leave in order to get to my vehicle. The main benefits would be price and cleanliness. My room is nice and clean.
