A port in the storm

With a major snow storm approaching, I managed a last minute reservation at Hotel Oliver to be closer to airport but not in middle of nowhere. Turned out to be the best choice I could make, as my flights were cancelled and I needed to extend my stay a day. All staff and management were exceptionally helpful. Many things were closed but they were aware of all restaurants that were open. I’ve already recommended this hotel to family who may come through here again. And I recommend it to you!

Very cool and convenient.

Very cool boutique hotel. Comfortable, the water room awhile to get hot but it was a very cold weekend. Beds and pillows were super soft so a consideration if you need firm bedding. Great location!
