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.

The beds at the Oliver Inn are the most comfortable beds we’ve ever slept in. The shower was also amazing. We parked across the street in the parking garage which was nice except for having to walk past homeless ppl. But they did not bother us. Overall we really enjoyed it!

Great little spot just steps from a lot of Duluth's mainstays. Worked great as a home base to attend a wedding out on Park Point. The bed was ridiculously comfy, the bathroom was well appointed, and the little nespresso-style coffee machine became a well-used perk.
