I had my wedding reception at the Old Library Events, next door to the Old Library Bed and Breakfast. It was wonderful to have the Bed and Breakfast next door, especially when we were getting ready and after the reception. The staff was gracious and were more than happy to accommodate myself and my family. They made us an excellent... More

Although born and raised in Olean, my wife and I now live in San Diego; and went to Olean to visit friends and family. We stayed at the Old Libray B&B 8/7/12-8/8/12. We had the lower level suite. The owner Joe Mara greeted us when we arrived and was extermely gracious. The suite had a very nice family room area,... More

The bed and breakfast is located in a very old house. If you are expecting the Ritz Carlton then do not stay here, but if you are looking for a very nice bed and breakfast this is a good place. We stayed for three nights and enjoyed every minute. The staff was super friendly and very accommodating. Breakfast was cooked... More

It has been a few years since my first review and we are just finishing up our stay. I wanted to take a minute to mention that they have addressed all of the points in my first review. The bathroom (same room) is now bright and has two outlets. The bedding is luxurious and even the purple carpet on the... More

I'm from Texas where southern hospitality is second nature so when I walked into the Old Library Inn and was immediately greeted by the owner/chef I felt like I was back in Texas even though I was in western New York. I'm not going to write a long review but the I sure did feel at home staying here. I... More

My two sisters and I needed some old home-town time together and we loved spending it in the beautiful Old Library Bed and Breakfast. Not exactly what one would think of as the place for a GIRLS GET AWAY WEEKEND. But, it worked for us. We loved it!

We were very pleased with the facility, the staff and the food. Lois and Lisa go the extra mile. The house is beautiful and the location is ideal. Great made to order breakfasts. We will return!

Only a quick overnight stay at the Old Library Bed & Breakfast Inn. The staff are lovely and hospitable. The inn itself is very clean, very charming but does feel a bit dated. The suite we used was a nice size, had a large comfortable bed for us and a rather unconformable pullout sofa for the kids. We have used... More

I love the hotel-- there's also a nice restaurant connected, and best of all a CANDY SHOP RIGHT IN THE B & B! It would be a nice touch if they'd put a chocolate or two under your bed, but otherwise the place is perfect. Some other fine restaurants right nearby, a grat library and an awesome reading series.

From the moment I arrived the staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. House was very clean, beautifully restored, has a great, well-preserved antique charm to it. Room was comfortable and spacious. Breakfast was wonderful. There were many options, all cooked to order. It was a quiet and relaxing place to stay, in Olean you can't beat the deal of this... More
