The Oliver Hotel

Being able to stay in a room I used to live in at The Oliver was soml

The staff was outstanding and the hotel was extremely clean. Be sure to walk the area on Saturday morning when the farmers market is active. The restaurants are great too.

Booked this as a gift for my parents anniversary and they said they enjoyed it very much. The room was up-to-date and comfortable. The staff were nice and it’s located conveniently close to shopping and restaurants. They loved it!

Wedding anniversary

The bed was so comfortable my husband now wants to buy one. The location is close to everything we wanted to experience..

Good location in the heart of Knoxville. Near to attractions and the market square. Excellent service.

Very cute design and nice size rooms. The front desk was not that friendly and didn't help or ask if I needed help with my large bags.

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.

Refrigerator did not work but room was clean and spacious

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.
