Categories

Cleanliness
1
Multiple guests specifically called rooms 'clean', 'very clean', and 'super clean', indicating generally positive cleanliness impressions.
Service
1
Staff repeatedly described as 'very friendly', 'amazing', 'accommodating' and 'knowledgeable' — service is a strong positive across reviews.
Location
1
Numerous mentions of a 'great', 'walkable', 'charming' neighborhood with many restaurants and shops; location is consistently praised (with a few notes about distance from downtown).
Room Quality
1
Significant and recurring room issues: noisy neighbours, stiff/too-firm master mattress, very poor shower water pressure, some below-grade/chilly rooms, cramped/cluttered layout when kitchenette is included, missing small appliances (no toaster), and mixed bathroom configurations (2-bed with only 1 bath). These multiple concrete negatives drive a strongly unfavorable room-quality rating.
Amenities
1
Positive mentions of rooftop, courtyard, kitchenette, small welcome gifts and local treats, and a secure parking garage; however there are some service/expectation gaps (no housekeeping, missing breakfast service).
Value for Money
1
Several guests commented on 'great value' and liking the price and perks; parking fees and occasional extra costs slightly reduce perceived value.
Food and Beverage
1
Many reviews note nearby restaurants positively, but at least one guest expected breakfast and was disappointed it was not offered by the hotel — overall mixed-to-slightly-negative for on-site F&B expectations.
Overall Experience
1
Overall stays are frequently described as enjoyable and 'would visit again' with praise for staff, neighborhood, and ambiance; however room-specific issues (noise, mattress, shower) temper the overall score.

Fun and relaxing
Pros:

Location Location Location!
I love that I was able to spend time with myself because of the 3 bedroom suite! It was so adorable and spacious!

Cons:

I didn’t want to keep this as a core memory but one of the housekeeper was rude. Since there was only on elevator (and that really sucks as well) but upon arrival we were waiting for the elevator. Door open, one housekeeper came out the elevator with her cart and the other stayed. When my fam (total of 4) tried to get in with all our luggage (and a drive of 9 hrs) the second housekeeper blocked us and shut the elevator doors while we were trying to get on. She was not the best representation for The Gilmore. But the stay was fantastic.
