Charming hotel in prime location. The coupon for a free beer at the Ratskeller really enhanced our experience as did sushi at the restaurant right there. Would definitely recommend staying there and we will be back.

Beautiful Historic Rooms - Good Value
I absolutely love these rooms and the concept of staying in a historical building. Everything was comfortable and spacious. Great value for the area! Parking is quite clunky having to use the parking garage across the street for the casino, and its a little awkward entering through the sushi restaurant, but worth it for the cute historical rooms upstairs! Wasn't as noisy as I expected considering the location either.

The Oliver Inn is a unique place to stay. We were in one of the hostel rooms and even though it is a shared Bathroom, there were never any issues when we needed to use it. We loved the convenience of the bar on site and the restaurant. The location downtown is fantastic as well. We would definitely stay again. Thanks!
