I love coming back to my hometown and it always includes a stay at the Old Library Inn. Clean, historical and the staff is very friendly and helpful. There is a park across the street, as well as a church, a Post Office around the corner, grocery stores and restaurants in the near vicinity. I highly recommend the Old Library Inn.

It was such a pleasant experience. We had the signature suit and we were pleased with how clean it was and the elegant design of the suit. The breakfast was delicious and Lois was so hospitable and welcoming. Our family had a beautiful stay and we would absolutely return if we are back in the area.

We come out to Olean area several times a year to visit family. My only regret is that I did not find this place sooner. It exceeded my expectations by miles and miles. The location is great, the rooms are beautifully decorated and the bed was really comfortable. Every detail, was thought of. Definitely booking this again for our next stay.

The Old Library is a wonderful bed and breakfast. The staff is genuinely helpful and nice. The only "complaint" is that the bathroom in the signature suite could use an update. Despite the bathroom being outdated, it was clean and functional so it wasn't a huge issue. We would stay at the Old Library again in the future.

My husband and I have never stayed in a B&B before. We had a wonderful experience with the Old Library Inn. Our room was decorated beautifully, and very clean. The bathroom was especially immaculate and the linens were soft, fresh and plentiful. Breakfast was fresh made to order and delicious. I felt very relaxed and comfortable in the living room area and kitchen. A wonderful stay and I will be back!

We were ready to give it a less than positive review, the room we were assigned had a bathroom out a door and into a stairway, not accessible from the bedroom, not a good situation. I called the hostess and voiced my objections and about 45 minutes later received a text moving us to a different room. The bedroom they moved us to had an onsuite bathroom so we were very happy with the final outcome. Very responsive. Would definitely stay at the Inn if ever in the area.

Great historic Inn. The breakfast served by Amy and Lois is always great (weekends). We've stayed there several times and our favorite rooms are the Maya Angelo and Tolkien rooms. Convenient to walk to the restaurants and bars near by. We will be back in October.
