Olive - The Flats Demopolis
Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
Olive is a 900-square-foot apartment-style unit at The Flats Demopolis, part of a small collection of historic downtown accommodations inspired by the French Vine and Olive Colony of 1817. Set in Demopolis's historic district, the space blends 1900s-era exposed brick with modern stained concrete floors, giving it a distinctive character not found in a typical hotel room. It's designed to comfortably host up to four guests, making it well suited to couples, small families, or extended stays.
Rooms
The unit features a plush queen bed in a separate bedroom plus a queen pull-out sofa in the living area, along with a spacious walk-in closet for longer stays. The bathroom offers a tub and shower combo, and in-unit amenities include air conditioning, heating, cable TV, an ironing board, and a washer for guest convenience. Free Wi-Fi is provided throughout, and the property is smoke-free.
Parking & Practical Amenities
Guests have access to reserved off-street parking immediately adjacent to the apartment, a well-lit area monitored by security cameras—an unusual and valued convenience for a small downtown property. The unit is also pet-friendly, making it a rare option in the area for travelers bringing along an animal companion.
Dining & Location
Olive sits in Demopolis's historic downtown, just steps from SVH Bistro (118m) and within walking or short driving distance of several dining options, including The Red Barn steak house, A Slab and More BBQ, Canecutters American restaurant, River City Soul, and SHINKOU Japanese restaurant. Fast food options like Taco Bell and Sonic Drive-In are also nearby for quick, casual meals. Meridian Regional Airport is about 88 km away for travelers arriving by air.
Best for
Olive suits couples, small families, or small groups seeking a character-filled, spacious alternative to a standard hotel room, thanks to its queen bed plus queen pull-out sofa sleeping up to four. It's also a strong fit for pet owners, given its pet-friendly policy, and for longer or seasonal stays thanks to the in-unit washer, ironing board, and walk-in closet. Downtown Demopolis's historic district setting and easy walk to SVH Bistro make it appealing to travelers who want to explore local dining on foot.
Travel tips
Take advantage of the reserved, well-lit off-street parking right next to the apartment rather than searching for street parking in the historic district. SVH Bistro is a two-minute walk, and several more restaurants—from barbecue to Japanese cuisine—are within a mile, so a car isn't strictly necessary for meals. Note that Meridian Regional Airport is roughly 88 km away, so plan extra travel time if flying in; one guest also mentioned some initial confusion locating the exact room, so confirm check-in directions in advance.
What guests say
The limited available reviews consistently highlight the cleanliness and tidiness of the space, with guests describing it as neat and well-kept. Reviewers also praised the overall character and quality of the unit, some noting they were impressed after seeing other rooms in the same historic property. The one recurring drawback mentioned was minor confusion about locating the correct room or entrance upon arrival, suggesting check-in wayfinding could be clearer.
