Gilmer Apartment Hotel
Very convenient access to downtown Wellington and staff provided a map to guide us to a shortcut to Lambton Quay. The room was comfortable, very clean, and had a combination washer/dryer and small kitchenette for making a simple meal. Handy, free onsite parking and friendly staff.
