Overall it’s a fine and comfortable hotel ...

Had a great 2 nights @ The Olsen. The staff were friendly & helpful, the room was comfortable & clean. The restaurant staff were professional. The location was fantastic! Only downsides were that some of the toiletries in the room ran out & the pillows were too soft. I would stay there again

The location is decent. The art is interesting. Bu...
