Olean has some great pubs and restaurants. It is a very safe and friendly town. Check out Randy’s up the river, or Randy’s fireside. Also the library restaurant and inn. There is also a very nice looking steak house on the Main Street.

The room I reserved was not what was provided. I was not traveling as a couple, but with a colleague. I reserved a room with 2 beds. Because of their issues - admitted “maintenance” and “overbooking” - we were given a room with one bed. Their solution was a cot that was uncomfortable and extra bottles of water. We had to request blankets for it. I was given no notice of the change in room prior to arrival. If I had, I would have cancelled and booked another hotel. It was an uncomfortable night for the price that I paid.
