I loved that the hotel was in the Old City hall. They did a great job of retaining a sense of history with modern amenities. The in room electric fireplace was appreciated even though plugging anything else in on that wall caused the breaker to blow. The secure parking garage across the street was well priced at $12 per 24 hours but you had to walk past multiple homeless persons which felt a little uneasy. Close to a great breakfast place and Duluth Trading Company as well as being very convenient to highway access. I am fine with not having housekeeping to make my bed, but I did not like that we couldn't get fresh towels.The refrigerator, freezer and microwave were appreciated. All in all, a good place to stay although I honestly don't know if I would stay there by myself.

Fun coffee shops and retail shopping close by. The decore and ambiance of the hotel were wonderful. No real staff was onsite, but the gentleman who was bartending downstairs was very accommodating. we encountered a few too many "unhoused individuals" near by though.

We’ve stayed at The Oliver Inn multiple times and have always had exceptional experiences — which is why we chose to return for this visit. We were genuinely looking forward to another comfortable and enjoyable stay. Unfortunately, this most recent visit fell well short of expectations and came with a series of avoidable frustrations: * We received incorrect information for our door code and spent the first 15 minutes trying to contact customer service just to access our room. This delay caused us to be late for the wedding rehearsal we were in town to attend. * Our reservation confirmation listed us as staying in the Mary McFadden – Room 6, when in fact we were assigned Mary McFadden - Room 7, which caused further confusion. * The confirmation email also stated an 11:00 AM checkout, yet we received a text only 14 hours before departure informing us that checkout was actually at 10:00 AM. * The room temperature could not be adjusted below 73°, which made sleeping extremely uncomfortable. * The bathroom lighting was nearly nonexistent, and even basic amenities like toilet paper were substandard.

Douglas, Des Moines

Swede Room 1 was freezing with a huge air conditioning vent blowing on the beds almost all the time. Had to sleep under multiple blankets with fleece vest on. I would avoid that room. Shared bathroom floors were dirty, shower drain full of hair, no paper towels in dispenser, ceiling tiles falling. Could not get Rathskeller staff to take our order - they just stood behind the bar eating, talking, looking right at us/ignoring us... So we left! The first floor bar staff in Snively's were great!

We slept in a museum. Had the grand suite which is amazing. I would suggest an armoire and luggage rack as no place to hang clothes. The vault room has no outlets so if you need a c-pap bring a 25 ft extension cord. Unloading and parking is moderately easy. Loved the ambiance and the special touches to ensure a good stay.

Cute kitschy historic property. Comfy. Though grateful for AC, it was the detractor of our stay - unit humming loudly all night. Surrounding area - yikes. Many drugged out people walking around. Duluth has lost itself - sad to see.

We were on our Bikes and as soon as we pulled up there was an unhoused person on the sidewalk across the street. Street parking was the option and we checked in and out online and did not even go in. We went to another hotel in an area that felt safer. The hotel looked really cute from the outside.
