The Oliver Hotel is a charming step back in time with modern conveniences. We loved the personal and friendly nature of the staff. The choices for local food was great, especially the Creperie. The small shops close by made for a fun shopping experience. Driving back and forth to UT was a breeze. The only negative was that the Market park was unwalkable in the evening due to homeless individuals.

The location is outstanding. Walkable to numerous dining and entertainment options. The staff was very friendly and very helpful! The rooms are unique and aesthetically pleasing. The hotel had just updated the phone system so there was a small issue but the staff assured us they were working to resolve it. We will return for a future stay.

Very unique Hotel. Room was huge. Bathroom and shower very spacious . Room was quiet and within walking distance of shops and plenty of places to eat as well as venues. Room was cold and you could adjust the temp on the A/C if needed and this is huge now days as most hotels lock the thermostat. Worth the price and the staff were amazing , friendly and very accommodating. Would most definitely stay here again.

The Oliver Hotel in Knoxville is right on the square in downtown. It is advertised as a 'boutique' hotel and that is a perfect description of the hotel. I was allowed to check in early, and upon my request for an upgrade to my room booking at a nominal cost, I was upgraded at no charge. The hotel seems to be a renovated property, and the rooms are outfitted in a 70's motif, with brass dome lights and decor. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom classically stylish. The water pressure in the shower left something to be desired, and that is often a result of an older structure renovation. The rooms are not exactly soundproof, other guests can occasionally be heard. The only criticism of the room are the bath linens; an upgrade would put this hotel another notch up, There is no swimming pool nor fitness center, again indicative of a boutique hotel. The staff was accommodating, and stretched thin; the front desk staff seem to perform numerous functions such as typical front desk activities, to running the valet, to accommodating guest requests. Often there is a sign on the desk explaining this and a promise to 'be right back'. In all instances this was the case, the desk is not unmanned for long. There are bicycles guests can check out for free. The room attendants did a great job, my room was cleaned daily. Great stay, accommodating snd friendly staff, and hidden behind a slide door is the Peter Kern Library, a speakeasy bar where you will share booths.
