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! More

If you are looking for a lovely and romantic inn not too far from Buffalo NY this is the place for you!. Wonderful rooms in an old converted Victorian mansion. Fantastic breakfast included- better than you'd get in a restaurant. Next door is a terrific restaurant with huge steaks, roast beef, pasta and seafood. Yum! We have stayed twice and... More

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! More

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

just stayed at the inn and was definitely pleasantly surprised. the photos of the rooms don't do them justice. The building is beautfully preserved and the rooms are mostly furnished with antiques. We stayed in three of the rooms and were able to look in a few others. Didn't see the suite in the basement. The breakfast was cook to... More

We visited my old home town on a family visit, but this is the first time we ever stayed at this house next door to the old Carnegie library that I frequented as a child, now a co-owned locally well known restaurant. I must say the breakfast was excellent, with the exception of being accosted with a long prayer, which... More

Old, wooden building kept in good condition. Recently replaced the bedding: no more feathers. Bedroom had tall ceiling, but bathroom was no more than 6'6" in our room. No ceiling light in room, lamps had to suffice. Good collection of wooden furniture in room and building in general. No refrigerator in room, so taking delicious leftovers from Old Library restaurant... More
