Opiniones de los huéspedes

En el Distinction Whangarei Hotel & Conference Centre, los viajeros elogian con frecuencia al personal amable, las habitaciones renovadas y cómodas, y la cómoda ubicación frente al mar, a poca distancia a pie de Town Basin, aunque señalan áreas comunes anticuadas y algunas inconsistencias en el mantenimiento.

El desayuno recibe elogios constantes, aunque las experiencias en la cena y el bar varían. Se agradecen las instalaciones, como la piscina cubierta y el spa, pero pueden ser frías, y el gimnasio recibe comentarios negativos. Es ideal para viajeros que buscan una base sencilla y sin complicaciones en Whangarei.

Very dated. Mould in bathroom. Carpets look like they are 50 years old. Gym is a disgrace. Bar staff didn’t know menu and basic service manners. Needs knocking down and starting again. Won’t be returning.

Very happy with our choice to stay at The Distinction. An older property but the benefit of that is spacious rooms. A bonus was a spa bath and separate shower in a large bathroom. Great to have the balcony overlooking the Marina. Friendly staff. Free parking. Very happy

Staff were amazing and very helpful. Only downsides were the pool said heated online and a spa and both were stone cold. The room was great but no tap for filling jug for coffee etc just the bathroom sink. And the curtains all had mould on the backs and need to be replaced.

Our King Superior room had "recently been updated". The bathroom was fine, but the rest of the suite felt like it had been done as cheaply as possible. It no longer had a couch in the main room but a Murphy bed instead, so there was only 4 unmatched chairs to relax in and watch TV. There was no microwave and when we went down to the kitchen to borrow theirs to make popcorn they refused to let us do it, but they set the timer for 30 seconds and then reset it for the same 3 times. More than half the bag did not pop. We asked for utensils to be brought up to the room and after an hour finally went down to retrieve them ourselves only to be told she has forgotten. They advertised a heated pool, but it was cold. A very average place to stay with poor customer service.

Habitaciones

Muchas habitaciones han sido renovadas recientemente, son espaciosas y cómodas, y algunas ofrecen balcones con vistas al puerto deportivo. El ruido puede ser un problema en ciertas habitaciones (tráfico de calle, paredes delgadas o pasos), y algunos accesorios más antiguos, como los aires acondicionados, muestran su edad.

Decent hotel near the waterfront of Whangarei. It is about a 1/4 mile walk to the marina restaurants but a beautiful walk. Rooms are good with central heating / AC. The "Marina View" rooms have balconies which are next to a moderately busy street, so expect a small amount of vehicle noise. Overall a decent stay.

This hotel is showing its age but is in a nice location. I stayed in two different rooms on consecutive nights, there was a dirty flannel left in the first room, and the AC in the second was too noisy to leave running on a sultry night. Shower water pressure was pretty poor, the corridors are dingy. Could do with some investment.

Our stay at Distinction was a last minute side trip during a three week visit to NZ. The location is on the outskirts of town on the river. The desk and restaurant staff were friendly and helpful. The grounds and interior common areas are worn and in need of an update. The hallway of our building had a musty smell. Fortunately, our room was clean and seems to have had a recent update. If we return to Whangarei, we would look for a hotel in town so that we could be closer to restaurant, shopping, and other activities.

Ubicación

La ubicación frente al mar/Town Basin es un punto fuerte, a poca distancia de restaurantes, tiendas y el puerto deportivo, con acceso y aparcamiento sencillos. Algunas habitaciones con vistas al puerto deportivo dan a una carretera, por lo que puede haber algo de ruido de tráfico ligero.
