The Olivier House Hotel

The Olivier House Hotel

6/10 Okay
"Great property in the perfect location. Unfortunately we had issues during check in that were a bit disappointing. Clerk checked us in to the wrong room, which involved hauling our luggage across the street and up 2 flights of stairs, then back down to relocate to correct room. No apologies offered, so that’s sort of ruined our first night. Other than that great property!"
