Had a wonderful stay at the Oliver Inn. The room was spotlessly clean, and the location couldn't be better — easy to access and just a short distance from everything downtown Duluth has to offer. Whether you're heading out for dinner, shopping, or exploring the waterfront, you can't beat the convenience. Highly recommend this spot for anyone visiting the area.

Very unique building. The room had everything we could need. We enjoyed the oldness of it with all the antiques and history. Our room did not have a view but we didn’t mind. Unfortunately the speak Easy and other bar are closed Monday and Tuesday we didn’t realize that. We would return.

Was a great stay. A neat/unique room and stay. The room was clean and AC worked great even when staying in a heat wave phase (90+ outside). The added bonus of the basement bar/speakeasy was really cool. Parking across the street was easy and felt secure. The bus stop/casino across the street doesn't help with some of the people hanging out. But nothing not seen in cities anywhere. Very convenient trail access to the lake Superior trail within a block on either side. An easy walk, half mile maybe, to the lift bridge and all the places/activities around it.

Very cool old building located conveniently near the downtown. Two bars on the property were convenient. Both had live music. Benson, bartender at Snively‘s, was great to talk to, and even sat in with the band. We stayed in the boardroom, which was like an apartment. We just kept thinking of the stories this room could tell.
