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.

The room was very clean and beautiful. The whole hotel was charming with a lot of character. Parking across the street wasn't bad. I wish they would have had a parking lot. Very convenient location.

We love old homes and enjoyed the historic feel of the Oliver Inn. Parking in the ramp directly across the street was very convenient. The room’s coded entry worked out great. Our room was a generous size (the bathroom too!) and had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and had a nice selection of comfortable pillows. The couch was great too! They had a nice iron, ironing board and Nespresso machine. The Inn has a great downtown location- close to campus, downtown dining and shopping. There was a homeless presence very nearby, but as other reviews had stated, there was no problem. There is a nice bar & restaurant downstairs too. The price can’t be beat for the included amenities and great location. We hope to stay again! :)

It was wierd coming to a hotel with no check-in staff or desk. Thankfully my log-in worked. My only real complaints would be that the walls are too thin, in that there was too much outside noise to contend with. Also, better directions with parking.

Property is historic, gorgeous, and has huge potential. Unfortunately it was tough to get past the dirtiness all around us. Upon arrival the rug in our room looked like it could use a good vacuuming, plus there was a wad of hair in the shower drain, as well as red lipstick lip marks on the white duvet and the light fixtures were coated in thick dust. We had four people staying in a double queen for 3 nights and upon arrival there were only 4 bath towels, 1 hand towel, and 5 coffees pods. Things we loved: high ceilings, old charm, the fitness center, walkability/location.

Did not see any staff, it was a quick stay came in late and left early. My biggest concern was the door was wide open and many people coming and going. So there was no code to enter and right across from casino, made me feel uncomfortable. But room was nice. The bathroom code was not activated so anyone could use it, I was not at ease.

Not next time

If you get assigned a room on the 1st floor, you'll have to share a bathroom with 3 other people. There was a terrible noise that made it difficult to sleep.

No front desk and no one to talk to, so come prepared to guess your way in, look in your spam folder for a "link" you may have received from the property management with check-in instructions. Great location and attached lounge and speakeasy businesses. Adult sophisticated vibe worked well. Room felt unfinished, lacked a lot of things, like desk, chairs, luggage stand, towel hooks/hangers. Coffee machine, microwave, and fridge were laughable. However the room was clean, bathroom was spacious, theres lots of natural light and although it is downtown rooms were very quiet.
