Gilmer Apartment Hotel
Great location, friendly front desk staff, clean safe property. Our queen room was small but had everything we needed for a week-long stay. Kitchen equipped with exactly 2 of everything, but staff very willing to provide any extra needed.

Quest 256 Lambton
Positioned city centre makes it a very convenient place to stay. The staff were helpful especially when we were checking out. The room was well appointed and relatively new. The bedroom area is however a little cramped.
