You had to watch your head leaning back so you didn't hit the wooden beams. Restaurant and bar Pour was great. Fast service and good food. Air conditioner was working great, only had to use it the first night as it was a bit cooler tha second day. Would definitely stay again! Great location close to everything you'd want."

Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and time of year, so being flexible with your dates could help you save on your stay in an Olean hotel. For those seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and may offer better value. When you book with Hotels.com, we'll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we may suggest more affordable dates to enhance your chances of securing a better deal.
Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but with Olean's superb public transport connections, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that remains well-linked. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
