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.

Neat space located in the old city hall. Don't plan on going to sleep before 10pm as there is live music directly under you. They were fairly quiet by 10pm though. We had a power issue that was promptly handled by staff even though they aren't on site. I would stay again. The parking ramp across the street is very secure too.

A code was needed to enter the building and to enter the room. During our two day stay, customer service had to be contacted twice to assist with code issues. Once to the room, once to the external door. Also had issues with the code for the room, however I was inside and let my husband in. This was stressful due to being in the middle of winter and myself being on crutches.

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.

Not your typical hotel. The room was large, the beds were comfortable. It was relatively quiet. The only problem we had was that my husband got locked out of the building on check out day. You're given a code to use during your stay to get in the building. My husband went out for coffee at 7 and tried the code and was met with 'code expired'. What if we all had gone out? Would we be on the street and our stuff inside? Hoping it v was a glitch.
