The 2 bedroom suite although it has a good lounge area, the bedrooms have no windows which felt quite unusual. The aircon was very noisey and cold. Would not stay here agin.

Great location in the CBD easy walk to waterfront, shops, cafes and restaurants...also easy stroll to the park for the Festival of Lights. Bathrooms are a littled dated and showing their age but we're still clean and useable. Beds were comfortable and rooms were a good size. Would definitely stay again.

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
