The Gilmore, an AvantStay Hotel
The rooms are nice with full kitchen taking up a huge amount of the space of the room. A full OVEN and Dishwasher!! I wonder who is going to do a full turkey dinner while at the hotel. The hallways were quite filthy. The room was clean but there is NO housekeeping so expect to clean your own room! ...

The room was great! It had everything we needed to cook simple meals and do laundry! The only downfall was all the loud city noises, once 11 hit it did quiet down. They made it easy to just Text if we needed anything.
