Unique find!
Very unique hotel in a historic building. Any questions or needs were handled by Megan, Lindsey and other available staff. I look forward to staying again and seeing renovations in progress. Great location especially if you like to gamble!

I love the Oliver inn, very clean room. Megan with housekeeping was very friendly and very accommodating. We do not care for the coffee makers at all, coffee is terrible and machine is strange to use.
I would recommend Oliver inn, and can wait for the remodel to be done, love the new paint on entry and the wall paper in Lounge.

Fun room and environment.
The only wish or thing we would suggest is door barrier to hall. Guests were out socializing- being respectful - but the environment had an echo and even the quiet voices were loud for us. This included the gap at floor if door in bathroom. It was odd!

We really loved the art all around the building. Very esthetically pleasing. It was exactly what we were hoping for. Parking was the only downside. Overall it was a great place! It was a very special weekend getaway for us and we got engaged in the room. The set up we got for the romance proposal package was wonderful and really made it special.

Charming hotel in prime location. The coupon for a free beer at the Ratskeller really enhanced our experience as did sushi at the restaurant right there. Would definitely recommend staying there and we will be back.
