A noisy air con that did not seem to offer any heat made this stay not up to standard. The room was spacious and well appointed, great breakfast buffet, and obliging staff. Being in the heart of the city was a plus but I am not sure I would stay again

Debra

The room felt luxurious and was very clean. The check in process was easy and the staff were incredibly helpful with luggage and with finding ice. The valet parking was a bit expensive ($35NZD) and self parking is not an option. Overall the hotel is worth the price.

The location is ideal and the staff could not have been any more helpful. The restaurant has a great selection of choices and the breakfast buffet was enjoyed by my husband while I had a huge custom made Omelette.I am here 3 days to speak at the New Zealand Lavender conference and will come back to the Distinction next January when I return to NZ
