I will definitely stay with The Oliver Inn again. It has a unique charm with each room that makes you feel like you're staying in a home. The room was clean and the building was quiet. I used the sauna which was a nice amenity. For no staff on sight, they promptly responded to my texts. I accidentally forgot to text about on time check in and they were very understanding. Great place to stay!

The most charming stay ever! I absolutely love this property and will be back. The area around the property has a lot of unhomed people, the management let us know before hand and we had no prop at all. Check in was smooth and easy.

Super cool place to stay. Figuring out the parking situation and the self check in was a little bit of a struggle for me. There is a bit of a homeless population around the area, but it didn’t feel unsafe. Otherwise, location is very good and close to the lake. There is also a really good bakery close for morning coffee and a scone. I would definitely recommend staying at the Oliver.

The beds at the Oliver Inn are the most comfortable beds we’ve ever slept in. The shower was also amazing. We parked across the street in the parking garage which was nice except for having to walk past homeless ppl. But they did not bother us. Overall we really enjoyed it!
