We stayed for 3 nights and it was wonderful. Large clean room with a small view of the beach. We used the laundry and the gym during our stay which was great. The location was perfect and the free parking is always appreciated. We would definitely stay again. All staff members were extremely friendly and helpful too.

Nice place but very old and worn out this showed in all the hallways and even in the bathroom some money needs to be spent on the property and this shows big time. Breakfast was a bit of a maze to try and find which wasn’t ideal however food was great

This hotel is nice and close to the city centre. We enjoyed the proximity to restaurants and the coastal walkway. The accommodation was spacious for our family and staff helped when we had issues with aircon and some supplies in our room.

The parking was fine, The reception gentleman was awesome and checking in was a breeze. He gave great advice for a meal. However, I thought the room was very dreary and the bed was soft. It had everything in it but it just didn't feel like a hotel. And the big clinch was having to wipe number twos off the toilet seat. This is unacceptable. I informed reception and the new person on duty the following day who both said they'd pass it on. The morning person said the cleaning staff were having a bit of a shakeup at the moment. I expect a bit more than this - maybe a refund or something as a sorry. This is such an enormous H&S issue.

The hotel is in a great central location with plenty of good food options within easy walking distance. The on-site restaurant was also a real highlight, and the staff were consistently friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

On the downside, the surrounding traffic can be quite loud, which may not suit light sleepers. Housekeeping was a bit inconsistent — the beds weren’t made daily and we had to follow up for fresh towels and bathroom necessities. Car parking can also be a challenge when the hotel is full, particularly if other guests don’t park considerately.

Overall, a good stay for the location and service, but a few operational improvements would make it even better.

We really loved the location and the staff behaviour. We didn’t explore the breakfast/restaurant. The room was too hot on the check in day however the staff managed it by giving us 2 extra table fans without any hesitation. Cleanliness was not excellent and the house keeping but really worth for the price. We would definitely choose again.

Great staff - we’re very helpful with gaining ideas for things to do in the area.
Parking was good, but tight with a larger vehicle. Only criticism is when the room was serviced, the bed was made and towels replaced, but the cups/mugs weren’t replaced, so had to clean these myself in the bathroom sink to reuse. Other than that, an enjoyable stay and would book again.

Stay for WOMAD

The location is very convenient for the centre as well as sites just outside like Pukekura Park and Brooklands Park where WOMAD takes place. There was daily housekeeping and the staff were very friendly and helpful, especially when i needed to book an extra night.. The room and shared hotel facilities were clean. It doesn't currently have on site cafe/restaurant, but there are a number of really good places within a short walk. It's close to the local bus services and the coastal walk which is a beautiful walk in places. It has a guest laundry which i found useful. The hotel itself despite being close to town, felt quite peaceful and relaxed. I would happily stay again.

I booked same day, paid almost $400. Showed up and everything was closed, staff member told me they were booked out yet online it stated there were 4 rooms available, I was told to deal with it on my own, even though I’d just paid towards to hotel. The staff member was probably new because he was absolutely useless lol. They clearly have an issue when it comes to things online, In the future I’d call before booking anything, especially with this hotel

We had a lovely three night stay at Distinction. The restaurant was under renovation but no problem as there are so many great food options only a short walk away. Perfect location to walk anywhere in New Plymouth town centre including Pukekura Park and the coastal walkway. Great spacious room (king suite) with a lovely view, comfy bed and good shower. Clean and quiet too. Staff were helpful and there was plenty of parking which was easy even with a big Ute. Will definitely stay again - was also great value for money
