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.

It was awesome! I was nervous about the check in process as there is no on-site staff but it was seamless and easy. Location is super convenient for activities in Duluth. Hotel itself has lots of character, was very clean and nice, and quiet. Both of my young children wanted to stay another night! Excellent amenities as well

This was a beautiful boutique inn. They take care to ensure you have everything you need, providing contact information in the event there is anything you need. The contactless check-in and check-out process is seamless. I would definitely recommend The Oliver Inn. A very nice option away from the standard hotel options. Very nice and caring staff.

This place is definitely unique. The beds were comfortable, nice linens and pillows. Bathroom was clean, hot water, updated shower. There was a mini fridge, ceiling fan and extra fans. The room was a little warm, temp control was locked. I stayed in room 5 and I could smell the restaurant that is attached especially when I turned on the bathroom light/fan. This room is on the lower level and faces the road. It was pretty noisy with vehicle traffic at night and people hanging outside the building. I definitely wouldn’t feel safe walking at night outside this area. I would stay here again depending on the reason for my Duluth visit.

You might read some reviews that say this place is inside a Japanese restaurant. It's not. Yes, some of the rooms open up to a hallway that is adjacent to a Japanese restaurant, but you are very much in your own space. If anything, the restaurant is a selling point, as it's delicious. The speakeasy in the basement is also excellent, and we were happy to realize that we shared a building with a place we have been to a couple of times before on our regular Duluth excursions. You may not ever see a staff person, because it is self-check in, but I assure you that they are top notch. Great communication and helpful beyond the call of duty. We will definitely stay here again!

My family booked a three-night stay in Room# 6 the Mary McFadden room. I like boutique, however, there is one big problem with this room. The entrance to the room is in the Japanese restaurant. They state it’s just steps away from your room, however, when you open the door, you are in the restaurant at the reception area and full view of the bar with the bar in full view of you. That also allows the odor of the restaurant to permeate the room. You will be spending your stay inside a Japanese restaurant. When realizing the room was inside the restaurant, you must text the hotel staff about the situation since there is nobody on sight. The staff originally stated they would give a partial refund since the room was unacceptable and we did not stay there. This began a series of lies. During my text exchange with the hotel, they were slow to respond since there were no staff at the location. They also gave excuses like the room details of it being steps away from the restaurant (inside the restaurant) were in the description and some people like the smell of a Japanese restaurant in their room. After months of going back and forth, they never gave us the refund and ghosted us on responses. I guess we will ever be able to get a partial refund even though they said they would on multiple occasions. The only thing you will get is multiple excuses. I am not saying all the rooms at the Oliver Inn are bad. I do know Room 6 and Room 5 are extremely problematic.
