A code was needed to enter the building and to enter the room. During our two day stay, customer service had to be contacted twice to assist with code issues. Once to the room, once to the external door. Also had issues with the code for the room, however I was inside and let my husband in. This was stressful due to being in the middle of winter and myself being on crutches.

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.
