Check-in was a bit confusing. Instruction said to text "check-in" when I was ready to check in, so I did that and got no reply. Not sure what purpose that served. The access code I was provided was not made clear if that was for the front door, for my room or for both - so I had to call the customer service number to ask. The hotel is a historical place and has a lot of charm - each room unique - which is cool. My room was absolutely FREEZING cold. I kept turning up the temp and eventually turned the thermostat off completely and still absolutely froze in the room so it wasn't comfortable. Plenty of hot water and a unique shower. The bed was extremely comfortable. There was a very large gap under my door and the people in Room 15 next to me on 9/25 & 9/26 were EXTREMELY loud. Also, there was construction going on in the building and floor above me that was very loud shortly after 8 am on 9/26...not cool. Parking across the street was inconvenient, but cheap. Lots of places to eat and drink within walking distance.

The most charming stay ever! I absolutely love this property and will be back. The area around the property has a lot of unhomed people, the management let us know before hand and we had no prop at all. Check in was smooth and easy.

Step back in time

Loved the Oliver Inn. Felt as though I had stepped back in time but with all of the modern conveniences. Arriving after dark in downtown Duluth by myself was a little intimidating. I was thankful for the secure garage and coded entries.

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.

I made the reservation thinking there would be available parking, a window in the room, and a bath. After I made the reservation, I found none of these were available. I called within the allotted time and cancelled with a man named Gary (Eastern accent -- I may have misheard him) who assured me I could cancel. Of course I was billed.

The hotel rooms were great! The two bars on the property were very cool! However, this property is not easily accessible. Parking was hard to find and once you figured it out, it was across the street. Then you had to deal with un-homed lottering by the doors and on the street. No area to load or unload luggage or any help from staff, as there were none on-site. If you needed assistance, you had to text/call the hotel and wait for a response However, during the day it was very convenient and felt safe to be right downtown but after dark the vicinity was highly populated with un-homed individuals and a little scary. It would have been nice if the property had a vending machine for water, snacks and an ice machine, but no luck. We had to go to other businesses close by to buy bottled water and food, which was very expensive. Everything had key codes to be able to enter. The hotel, the room and parking doors. It took several tries to get them to work properly. That might have been our issue as we were not used to working these. Overall, I loved the hotel and the rooms, just not the hassle of all of the door codes or getting our luggage in and out of the hotel and not the discomfort of the un-homed next to the doors and on the street.
