Great location.

I think the young lady checking us in was new to the job. It took an excruciating amount of time to do what is the normal stuff. Ah well. It was a delightful location and spanking new building.

Bathroom sink was clogged and Bathroom had alot of mold. The sheets were old and thin, with threads stickinh out. There was also human hair, of all types in the bed. We went to call the front desk and the room phone didnt work. Also, there was a lamp in the corner but it wasnt able to be plugged in because there wasnt an outlet anywhere near it. Went to front desk and was able to get a room change (desk staff was very nice). The second bathroom didnt have as much mold as the first, and the sink wasn't clogged but later found that the tub drain was. There was also hair in bed. Also, hardly any outlets in either of the rooms. We had to take turns charging our phones. This is the third time we have stayed at this hotel. The previous two times, the rooms were dated but seemed to be very clean. But this time the rooms were gross. We arrived later in evening but would have otherwise gone somewhere else. Unfortunately we won't be staying here again. Cleaning staff need training.

We love the large rooms with high ceilings and the historic vibe of the 19th century building, which was the original City Hall for Duluth. So cool! We also love the onsite Snively's Lounge and the Rathskeller, where you can get delicious drinks in the evening. They let us order a delivery pizza and eat it there. There was a fun jazz trio playing on Friday night, too. It's also just a short walk from Duluth's Best Bread, which has fantastic pastries, croissants, coffee, tea, etc. (perfect for breakfast). We've stayed at Oliver Inn more than once because we love it!

The property is located in a very convenient area. Walkable to many restaurants, stores, breweries, Canal Park, Amsoil Arena and close to the lake walking trail. Nice to have a parking spot directly behind the property that you can purchase. Could have more kitchen amenities. Our coffee maker didn't work and the unit was very dusty.
