Rydges Wellington
Room location and view was amazing, although room was small it had everything you needed. The bathroom was a bit small and not much room to put things or hang towels, another rail would be useful and mould in bottom of shower needs to be addressed. But other than that, it was great

Gilmer Apartment Hotel
Everything was clean and comfortable. Washer/Dryer had a button that didn’t work, so the setting we were instructed to use wouldn’t work. Everything else was great!

The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating to travel issues like late arrival. While the hotel entrance is a bit hard to find, the hotel itself was beautifully appointed, comfy rooms and beds, and excellent staff.
