Rydges Wellington
While the room was otherwise fine, the shower head was broken and only pointed toward the wall. The heat pump was also right next to the bed and quite noisy, which affected sleep.

Gilmer Apartment Hotel
The shower is small. It’s had to take a shower. The location is hilly. It’s tiring to go up and down the steps. The staffs are friendly and accommodating.
