No front desk and no one to talk to, so come prepared to guess your way in, look in your spam folder for a "link" you may have received from the property management with check-in instructions. Great location and attached lounge and speakeasy businesses. Adult sophisticated vibe worked well. Room felt unfinished, lacked a lot of things, like desk, chairs, luggage stand, towel hooks/hangers. Coffee machine, microwave, and fridge were laughable. However the room was clean, bathroom was spacious, theres lots of natural light and although it is downtown rooms were very quiet.

I don’t know what people actually like in this “hotel” , its actually type of hostel style and more likely apt rental company. They have own rules( whichever actually should be fine) if its explained well and clearly, but either way its not explained as should be, also its not convenience for customers. Check in is 16:00 pm not early any minute. Checkout 10:00 am no delay, no exceptions nothing. No extra 1 minute ))) A bit strange and not for any comfort for customers. If you need early check in +25$ , if you need late check out extra 25$ . Huh, it seems they specifically determined that time to rob customers. No parking . If you need parking you have to pay for it and you have to find out ramp. Well: building is old which may have some own attractions but its nasty and seems like ghost house, my room seemed clean until I found hairs in my bed. Carpets totally dirty. Maybe not washed loong time. And main thing: its sooo overpriced. If you find this hotel less 50$ and have no option just for 1 night maybe you go, but doesn’t worth to book it any other situations. Stay away from Oliver inn. Also Outside is so noisy all the night. Those people who run this business have no idea how to satisfy customers. They just count some profits maybe. I was in Hotel business in many years andI travel and stay usually many places, everything happens with hotel, rooms, staff, customers, everything could be understandable, but such negligence like this “hotel” never seen.

This was a wonderful and cozy hotel with a "Speakeasy Vibe". The room was comfortable and clean. The beds were amazingly comfortable and the communication was on point. I woild absolutely stay again when in Duluth. The only negative is that the surrounding area is pretty rough looking and parking can be a challenge.

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!

Super cool place to stay. Figuring out the parking situation and the self check in was a little bit of a struggle for me. There is a bit of a homeless population around the area, but it didn’t feel unsafe. Otherwise, location is very good and close to the lake. There is also a really good bakery close for morning coffee and a scone. I would definitely recommend staying at the Oliver.

The room was exceptional. In fact, it was even better than the pictures in the listing. I loved how large the space was and how it was arranged for both work and leisure. The bed was extremely comfortable. Really enjoyed the ambiance of the fireplace. I stopped in the pub on the first night and had a great time enjoying the space and talking to the bartender and other patrons. I can't say enough about the personality of the whole hotel. Will definitely be back.
