Top Oriental Bay Hotel Reviews

Gilmer Apartment Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location was excellent— very close to shopping, restaurants and attractions. The staff was helpful, but not overly friendly except the young lady who checked us in. The in unit washer was helpful, but did not dry the clothes well."
