Great historic Inn. The breakfast served by Amy and Lois is always great (weekends). We've stayed there several times and our favorite rooms are the Maya Angelo and Tolkien rooms. Convenient to walk to the restaurants and bars near by. We will be back in October.

It was such a pleasant experience. We had the signature suit and we were pleased with how clean it was and the elegant design of the suit. The breakfast was delicious and Lois was so hospitable and welcoming. Our family had a beautiful stay and we would absolutely return if we are back in the area.

This is a wonderful, remarkable inn/bed 'n breakfast! Everywhere you look there's beautiful woodwork and glasswork. The staff is very hard working and the breakfasts they create and serve on weekends (only) are generous and delicious. The next time we visit, Amy said I could come to the kitchen to watch how she makes the best, moistest and fluffiest scrambled eggs I've ever had! The place is a wonder... and what you see on the websites is what you get!

We come out to Olean area several times a year to visit family. My only regret is that I did not find this place sooner. It exceeded my expectations by miles and miles. The location is great, the rooms are beautifully decorated and the bed was really comfortable. Every detail, was thought of. Definitely booking this again for our next stay.

The Old Library is a wonderful bed and breakfast. The staff is genuinely helpful and nice. The only "complaint" is that the bathroom in the signature suite could use an update. Despite the bathroom being outdated, it was clean and functional so it wasn't a huge issue. We would stay at the Old Library again in the future.

My husband and I have never stayed in a B&B before. We had a wonderful experience with the Old Library Inn. Our room was decorated beautifully, and very clean. The bathroom was especially immaculate and the linens were soft, fresh and plentiful. Breakfast was fresh made to order and delicious. I felt very relaxed and comfortable in the living room area and kitchen. A wonderful stay and I will be back!

Hotels misrepresented the property stating a made-to-order breakfast was provided, which was not. We had 2 other properties we could have chosen but picked this one based on the reviews. We were misled and don't feel we got what we paid for.

The Bed & Breakfast was in an old Victorian home in a very nice town. The other visitors who had already checked in helped us find where our key and where our room was. The interior was beautiful and it was fun to walk around and see the home. The biggest issue we had was that this bed & breakfast only provided breakfast on the weekend. We stayed on a Wednesday. That would have been nice to know before we booked. There were small boxes of cold cereal and pop tarts in the kitchen...so I guess they did try to give us breakfast.
