Gilmer Apartment Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was excellent with kitchen and clean bed and bathroom. Gym access was to a proper health club 5 minutes away, prefer this as it was a good fscility with sauna, swimming pool and weights and machine. Place was near Lambton Quay shops and resturants on Willis st, good stay and friendly reception staff and cleaners, would stay here again"
