Gilmer Apartment Hotel

This hidden gem in Wellington made our stay incredibly convenient!

Best Western Wellington

I stayed in Wellington for a week to support my son as he started his new school life here, and I chose this hotel because it’s just a short walk from his school. From day one, the front desk manager and housekeeping staff went above and beyond—genuine warmth, thoughtful service, and attention to detail that you rarely get at big chain hotels where everything feels automated. The room itself is well-maintained, with excellent soundproofing so I could sleep peacefully even during noisy city nights. The hot water heater works perfectly, and the shower was truly refreshing—great for unwinding after a long day. I also loved how spacious and functional the room layout was, with modern amenities that work flawlessly. Even though it’s not a brand-new property, the atmosphere feels more personal, human, and welcoming. It’s clear the team cares about guest comfort beyond just checking boxes.

Willis Village

Staying at Willis Village was such a pleasant surprise! The location is perfect—just a short walk from downtown Wellington, and public transit is super convenient.

I also loved the fully stocked kitchen, allowing me to cook my own meals—great for saving money and enjoying fresh food. The cleanliness was top-notch; everything felt spotless and well-maintained. The vibe of the place is cozy and modern, though you do need to climb a spiral staircase to reach your room—something to keep in mind if you're not up for a bit of walking. Parking is available nearby on the opposite side of the street for $28 per night, but it's only a 1-minute walk, so it’s totally manageable.
