Gilmer Apartment Hotel
Love the fact you can park the car onsite . Everything was very good, my only issue was the room was very noisy with the loud wind and some trucks (dustman?) throughout the night . Great location for everything , would book again, think a room on the other-side would ok

Naumi Studio Wellington
Perfect location. Spacious, tidy and well appointed lounge, bar, foyer and dining areas. Rooms are small but perfectly fine. A couple of housekeeping/maintenance things could be resolved in the rooms, but not worth mentioning, and they don't impact your use of the space.
