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
