It was great, only feedback was the aircon couldn’t cool the bedrooms, we checked in late and was difficult to sleep in the heat.

Gilmer Apartment Hotel
Would recommend Gilmer - I arrived after hours and everything was set up for me including parking which is very easy and convenient. The hotel is easy to access from SH1 which reduces city driving. The room had everything I needed. I didn’t need aircon but there was a fan.
