"Pleasant"

6.0

Friendly service and good restaurant and well located

The queen bed in room 201 had a very noticeable horizontal crack on one side. If I had been sharing the bed with someone it would have been extremely uncomfortable, probably not possible to sleep on, but luckily I could move to the other side. That bed needs to be replaced. You shouldn't be charging people to sleep in a bed like that in a 5 star hotel

"Karma made our stay at Distinction top tier"

10.0

I cannot say a bad word about Distinction Palmerston North! We are a family of 5 who rung in need of accomodation after our previous booking elsewhere was not appropriate at all. From the moment I phoned Karma was absolutely brilliant, kind, caring and professional. He made our stay incredibly easy and enjoyable. Karma was brilliant with our kids and he went above and beyond expectation, he deserves a medal. Thank you distinction but more so thank you Karma!! Highly recommend

"Superb"

9.0

I made a mistake with the dates when booking. The manager was so kind to allow us to transfer to another day despite our "no show" the day prior. Thank you so much! The room was lovely, warm and comfortable with very clean bathrooms and strong water pressure in the shower. A very pleasant stay, so close to the city center and Te Manawa museum.

The guest car park was a bit tight on space. But there was plenty of parking on the street and we were told it was free overnight, so all was good.
