We enjoyed our stay at the Oliver Inn. Our room met our needs for my husband and I. There is no staff on site, checking in and out was done remotely through given door codes. We prefer black out curtains for sleeping, and the street lights could be seen through our windows, but other than that issue, we enjoyed the space. There is a Casino across the street, we did not experience any loud noise other than cars driving by at night. There are coffee shops and restaurants that are easily walkable. There is paid parking that is easy to set up.

Very cool old building located conveniently near the downtown. Two bars on the property were convenient. Both had live music. Benson, bartender at Snively‘s, was great to talk to, and even sat in with the band. We stayed in the boardroom, which was like an apartment. We just kept thinking of the stories this room could tell.

The room was comfortable, clean, and uniquely decorated. Check in was a breeze. The bar on site looked cozy, but despite the doors being open and someone sitting at the bar we were denied a much needed cocktail after a long drive in a storm.
