I had an very nice stay at Laneways By Ovolo that totally exceeded my expectations. The location is unbeatable, just a short stroll to all the theaters and amazing restaurants. The staff were super friendly and made me feel right at home, and the amenities, like the complimentary mini bar and welcome goodies, were a good touch. My only slight issue was the tiny bathroom, but it didn't overshadow the overall experience.
