The hotel was amazing the room was incredible. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed on Sunday nights, but the staff called around and recommended several great places within walking distance. The parking garage is very small a little difficult to maneuver if you drive a barge.

great location just off the square. nicely appointed and friendly staff. the one thing that's a ding is the parking. really tricky parking below the property. also not enough spaces to accommodate all guests in the evening. might need to park and walk from street.

Great location with several restaurants, shops and entertainment (primarily on weekends) available within walking distance. Even with our room overlooking a busy street it was very quiet. {Heard an ambulance late one night, not an issue and understandable}. Staff was awesome! The two women we had the pleasure of speaking with at the front desk were friendly, professional and very helpful. The cleaning staff were also all very pleasant and greeted you each time they saw you, in addition to taking good care of us and our room. I appreciated the underground parking garage however it is a bit tight to maneuver in/out some spots. And a bit expensive but worth it to not be parked on the street or in an open lot. We didn't eat in the restaurant. Since they didn't have anything meeting my very strict dietary requirements, I can't attest to the quality or service. If ever we go back to Oxford, I would absolutely stay at The Oliver again.

Beautiful room. The parking situation was weird due to the construction going on. We weren't sure where exactly to pull in but we eventually worked it out. It would be a really great idea for the parking to be part of the amenities included in the hotel stay instead of something to pay. That was a little irritating.

This hotel was well worth the cost! The rooms were beautiful, staff was amazingly friendly and you can walk to the square easily. The restaurant is very nice and we loved the speakeasy vibe that the bar gave. Will definitely be staying here again!

Property has a great location; easy walking to campus and the Square. Parking is a challenge and I got the very last spot on Saturday afternoon.....probably need better enforcement. Property was under construction, so I walked over plastic and around workers the entire time. My room was nice and clean (a couple areas of peeling paint though) Staff was nice, friendly and helpful. No fitness center???

Comfortable, clean room to crash out in, with free snacks thrown in. Hotel in good location for anything in Oxford - visited Faulkner’s house (atmospheric) and the Uni (impressive). A detour worth making.

Room wasn’t ready until 6 o’clock in the evening. When I finally got in, the bed wasn’t made. For the close to $400 I paid, that’s entirely unacceptable. Stay at the Graduate instead.

The room was pretty and comfortable. Had a great shower. I would have liked a cosmetic mirror in the bathroom so I wouldn’t have had to lean way over the sink to the mirror, The restaurant was open so we went and had a meal with expensive cocktails, but there was no breakfast available. The hotel had a very elegant vibe and was fun to stay at.
