Jacquelyn, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Love the old building, and the bedroom and bathroom were in great shape, while maintaining the original flavor.
Sally, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The Inn was truly unique and charming! Our room, the shared bathroom and property itself were clean, interesting and comfortable. The beds were especially cozy😊💤
Trudie, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The Oliver Inn is such a unique and beautiful hotel! I’m so happy we stayed there. I’ve never stayed anywhere quite like it. Apparently, the building
Joseph, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Loved this hotel! Anytime that I am in Duluth I plan on staying here. Check in/out was also a breeze. The basement bar is worth checking out!!
Vanessa, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We loved our stay. Great experience.
Renee, 1-night trip

Marilyn, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I love staying at old, historic properties, and the Oliver Inn fits the bill.
Monte, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Property was historic and beautiful. Shared bathroom and shower was actually not inconvenient at all.
Keaton, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It was very nice! Loved it
Kimberly, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The atmosphere and decor were so fun. Perfect walking distance to Canal Park.
Kristen, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I thought the renovation was amazing. It is quick and easy access to everything downtown and Canal Point. The neighborhood is also being renovated. We were on the first floor in front of the street window so there was some noise later in the evening. Overall, will absolutely come back. The room itself was lovely!!!
Christy, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Amazing location, we parked and walked to everything. We parked on the street right next to the hotel. We were nervous about the car but everything was fine. The hotel is so unique and each room tells a different story. The beds were super comfortable. The bathroom was huge! Loved the onsite bar!! We will only stay here when in Duluth. Side note food at canal park brewery is excellent and ice cream at love creamery is a must!
lori, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had a little mix up at first on our room. The manager called and meade everything right again! We got to visit the bar in the basement - super cool vibe! I would recommend and stay here again!
Christine, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Cool hotel with friendly bar on main floor. Beds were comfortable. Room very clean. Easy parking across the street. The only negative was the sad state of downtown Duluth - I wasn't expecting big city problems in a small town (high # of homeless, obnoxious e-bikers along the lake path, etc.).
Lisa, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

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.
Cathie, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Never going back
Phil, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

This is a unique historic building right near the lakeside walk within easy access to parks and restaurants.
Amy, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Cold noisy room. Toilet separate. Uninviting vibe. We left after 20 minutes.
Robert, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The room was clean and beautiful. They went out of their way to make sure I had a hairdryer and responded back quickly. I will absolutely be staying here again!
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Grunge neighborhood, Tv stations questionable, Canal area offers a better experience.
Kip, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This place was amazing! Great boutique hotel! Old building vibes with fantastic art and history throughout! Can walk to coffee, deli, restaurants nearby and super close to walkway to lakeshore path and Canal St. Grabbed a drink at the new lounge. No front desk but instructions for check-in/out clear and timely. Great stay for marathon weekend (or any time)!
Jennifer, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

There was what looked like puke on the wall stuffy uncooled room with terrible toiletries as far as soap and shower curtain replacement towels. Etc
