This place was amazing! Great boutique hotel! Old building vibes with fantastic art and history throughout! Can walk to coffee, deli, restaurants nearby and super close to walkway to lakeshore path and Canal St. Grabbed a drink at the new lounge. No front desk but instructions for check-in/out clear and timely. Great stay for marathon weekend (or any time)!

Check in was a complete disaster. I entered through the back entrance of the property greeted by two workers. They never once told me that I should enter the front door. I returned to the property to enter at 8:30 at night only ro be locked out. I was able to reach someone the following day who advised to enter through the front door. The condition of the room was fantastic. The amenities were great. The bed was excellent.🚪

I stayed here the night before Grandma's Marathon in 2025. Here's what's not clear on Expedia, and not entirely clear on the Oliver's website: this is a STAFLESS hotel. I figured this out after I arrived at the hotel. I was provided with no information prior to check-in, so had to break open my laptop, log-in to Expedia, call the main number, wait for a call back, and then receive a text with details on how to get into my room. So, I suggest you try to get this information from the hotel before you travel. After that, it was a fairly smooth experience. I stayed in Roger & Oliver Munger - Suite 14. Note that the Oliver website says that it can't guarantee against nighttime noise. Also, there is no bottled water in the room.
