Features
Freebies include breakfast, happy hour drinks and snacks, and high-speed Wi-Fi
This Ovolo
Hotel doesn't have all the features expected of a four-pearl hotel, notably there's no full restaurant or bar, but it helps that the dining it does offer is free. The property serves a free breakfast at
the adjacent O Cafe, which is run by the same management and has snacks and drinks available throughout the day. Breakfast consists of croissants, muffins, and toast,
and guests can order hot dishes, such as eggs or bacon. The
cafe gets a lot of local customers in the morning, so breakfast can get busy. The lounge
area is the venue for the hotel's nightly happy hours, where beer,
wine, and snacks are served for no additional charge. The on-site gym is open 24 hours a day but is small with only two treadmills, an elliptical machine, and a smattering of free weights. There is also a free self-service
laundry. Free high-speed Wi-Fi
is available throughout the hotel.
