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.

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.

We came to the Finn Fest and enjoyed our stay at the Oliver Inn. Our room was clean and comfortable. The instructions for our entry was clear and had no problems.

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.
