Great room. Sauna room + two bars on the property were a bonus. Hotel is in a great location to walk to breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Right next to walk-way to go over traffic to conveniently get to Canal Park.

Nice little boutique hotel/room. Mine had a bathroom so not sure what shared bathroom looked like.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Really cool conversion of the first city hall of Duluth into a boutique hotel. Our room was on the "first" floor (really the basement) without any windows, which was a little freaky at first. It was so quiet, we felt we were the only people in the building, even though there were several lounges/bars. We parked in the secure parking ramp across the street, which meant we were walking by a number of unhoused people with all of our luggage. There are NO actual staff on the premises, but the many texts that we received were sufficient in terms of checking in/out, and gaining access to the building and our rooms.

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.

My brother and I went to Duluth to visit a family member in the hospital and needed a last minute place to stay. We found the Oliver Inn and booking a room, checking in, and get to the hotel was seamless and better than expected.

The room was comfortable, clean, and uniquely decorated. Check in was a breeze. The bar on site looked cozy, but despite the doors being open and someone sitting at the bar we were denied a much needed cocktail after a long drive in a storm.

Room and bathroom was very spacious and comfortable. Easy access to the rooms and very convenient location. Lack of dedicated parking is really the only downside to this hotel.
