9.6/10 Exceptional! (306 reviews)

The Oliver Hotel was provided a wonderful experience for my wife and I. Our room was clean and well appointed. The bath room was gorgeous, with opposte sinks, a claw foot tub, and a large shower. The hotel location is perfect, a couple blocks from quaint and well adorned town square. Shout out to the town of Oxford as well, the people we encountered were so nice and hospitable. A true 5-star hotel with a restaurant and Speak Easy on site. We enjoyed the Speak Easy on consecutive nights and the best cocktails we have ever had, hand crafted specifically for us by a wonderful craftsman named Damian. All in all a wonderfully hospitable stay.
