It is super cute, clean, and beautiful. Having no windows was not a problem, and the heater, fan, beds, microwave, and sink were lovely features. The stone walls are very cool, as is the general aesthetic. We had a shared bathroom, but it was no problem with 2 bathrooms shared between 4 rooms. I never once saw anyone else using it. The beds are nice and comfy and they give you a million pillows. What could be bit of an issue were the loud people from the Speakeasy located nearby. They are frequently up quite late laughing and yelling. If you go to sleep early, then you probably want to avoid the hostel rooms. The property COULD do a better job about enforcing the quiet hours. That said, it was no problem for us, and eventually they quieted down. We will definitely be back.

Love the vibe at The Oliver Inn! Have stayed there a couple of times now and will definitely be back! The only qualm we had with this last visit was that our room never really got warm enough (we visited in early February). We had the electric fireplace running the entire time, but still had to make sure to bundle up before bed. However, the main room space is pretty large and the ceilings are fairly high, so I could see how it would be hard to heat the entire room on only that small electric heater. If visiting in the winter, bring warm clothes and maybe an extra blanket and you will be just fine!!

This was our second time staying here so it was a bit easier to understand the various quirks of the building which is part of its charm. Park in the parking garage, try the Wasabi sushi restaurant and visit the speakeasy in the basement. We would have liked an ice machine available but the people at the sushi restaurant were kind enough to give us some.

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.

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.
