Beautiful Room, Great Location, Uncomfortable Bed
My husband and I came for a two-night trip to celebrate our December anniversary. The room was far less expensive than the hotels at Canal Park, but we were still within walking distance of Canal Park and Bentleyville. The room was large and beautifully decorated (yellow is my favorite color!). We live in an old farmhouse, so we love buildings with character. My ONLY complaint is that the bed was NOT comfortable and I slept horribly both nights (and a box of tissues would have been nice). Other than that, the stay was wonderful.

Comfy, clean, convenient accommodations. Parking downtown is exactly what you would exact but definitely doable. Would stay again for sure!

Beautiful Historic Rooms - Good Value
I absolutely love these rooms and the concept of staying in a historical building. Everything was comfortable and spacious. Great value for the area! Parking is quite clunky having to use the parking garage across the street for the casino, and its a little awkward entering through the sushi restaurant, but worth it for the cute historical rooms upstairs! Wasn't as noisy as I expected considering the location either.

Great Place to Stay
It was good, clean, and nicely decorated. The Oliver Inn has much more character than most hotels, in a good way. The rooms are nice even without windows, as it gives the illusion of having windows.

Loved the vibe of this hotel! Very much giving Sex in the City! I do, however, wish that check in could have been earlier than 4pm without an additional fee, but other than that we loved our stay here and would definitely stay again as well as recommend to our family and friends!
