Rooms were a bit outdated, no aircon, low light so not bright or daylight friendly , old bathroom fixtures, mould like on the sink area. Staff were friendly other shared areas were tidy but a little outdated like the laundry, gym and the bathrooms downstairs. Good breakfast. ##### Archina Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah Sep 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Such a great stay, the rooms were so lovely and comfortable.

Reasonably furnished. The room was clean but a glass shelf was a little dusty. The building is old and has a nice old-school charm but could do with some TLC. Friendly staff everywhere you go. Great options breakfast buffet but would like to see more fresh fruit/ cut fruit. Bar & restaurant services are good and reasonably priced. Loved the garden, the pools and the spa! ##### PETER Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Leonie Jul 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Only stayed one night and did not use all the amenities on offer, apart from the bar. Very comfortable and clean. Had a spacious room with separate bedroom. Would stay again. ##### Leonie Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### PETER HAN JOO Aug 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Not too bad The room interior is a bit old. The breakfast is good. ##### PETER HAN JOO Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Julie Jan 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities When we drove up the exterior was a little dated but inside there was a real feeling of luxury. Velvet seats in the reception area, chandeliers hanging from the ceilings. Our room showed a little bit of wear in places but overall it was well finished super quiet, clean and the beds were super comfortable. The staff were very helpful. As a family of five it was an excellent option for us and would highly recommend to anyone wishing to go to Rotorua for a family holiday. ##### Julie Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### JUNE Oct 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service It’s dated but clean. The air conditioner makes noise. The carpark has a security fence and feel more safe. ##### JUNE Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gail Jul 21, 2024 Liked: Staff & service While our room was tidy and clean, the hotel was very tired and dark - it could definitely do with a facelift. We could hear noise coming from other rooms, and the whole room vibrated when a truck went past outside - for these reasons, I wouldn't stay at the Distinction again. ##### Gail Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Liangqian Jan 5, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ridiculous It's the year of 2024, I paid more than $300 and there's NO AIR-CONDITIONING in the room. The manager guy stated that they didn't list "air-conditioned" in room description on the booking page, so it's a fair play, and i should check the room description more carefully. Well, "electricity" is also not listed, and there's electricity, I'm so grateful. ##### Liangqian Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Luke Jan 12, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Upon arrival we had an inspection of the room, it was very dirty. The cups had been used and put back where they were suppose to be so they weren’t checked also surrounded by dust, the room was not dusted at all, above everything was a thick layer of dust. hair in the bathroom on the floor and the bath tub had a grease ring around it. We had booked with intentions that we’d have a view, we did not and we were also in the darkest section of the building. The situation of getting to and from parking is ridiculous we are able to exit building through a back door, but not return through the same door via the carpark, you had to walk from the car park all the way around through to the lobby entrance, this was a major inconvenience for us and our family as we had little ones, but also gear we wanted to take back to our room . However great service from the staff member who delivered our room service orders :) ##### Luke Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Gateway International Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Rotorua-Hotels-Gateway-International-Motel.h9327841.Hotel-Information) > > [Hugo & Carter's Backpackers & Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tauranga-Hotels-Hugo-Carters-Backpackers-Motel.h41182192.Hotel-Information) > > [Motels Bowmanville](https://www.expedia.ca/Bowmanville-Motels.d180697-aaMotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels.d178296.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Tasman Holiday Parks - Papamoa Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Tauranga-Hotels-Papamoa-Beach-Resort.h9629513.Hotel-Information) > > [Beautiful Family Home - Teemo's Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Rotorua-Hotels-Beautiful-Family-Home-Teemos-Retreat.h96971196.Hotel-Information) > > [Penthouse Apartment 502 in The Atrium](https://www.expedia.ca/Tauranga-Hotels-Penthouse-Apartment-502-In-The-Atrium.h17832410.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Walking Street](https://www.expedia.ca/Walking-Street-Hotels.0-l6160639-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Mount Backpackers](https://www.expedia.ca/Tauranga-Hotels-Mount-Backpackers.h9625607.Hotel-Information) > > [Accolade Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Rotorua-Hotels-Accolade-Motel.h109392493.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Apache Junction](https://www.expedia.ca/Apache-Junction-Hotels.d9816.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Arawa Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Rotorua-Hotels-Rydges-Rotorua.h69569.Hotel-Information) > > [Colonial Court Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Tauranga-Hotels-Colonial-Court-Motor-Inn.h15545470.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in St. Mary](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Mary-Hotels.d161561.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Shed Retreat | Rural Getaway | Cedar Hot Tub](https://www.expedia.ca/Rotorua-Hotels-The-Shed-Retreat-Summ.h106182630.Hotel-Information) > > [Alpin Motel & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Rotorua-Hotels-Alpin-Motel-Conference-Centre.h7105518.Hotel-Information) > > [Aura Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Rotorua-Hotels-Aura-Accommodation.h9628936.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Ho Chi Minh City (SGN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/sgn/calgary-to-ho-chi-minh-city) > > [Flights from Chicago (ORD) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ord/las/chicago-to-las-vegas) > > [Flights from Mumbai (BOM) to Coimbatore (CJB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bom/cjb/mumbai-to-coimbatore) > > [Flights from Dorval (YUL) to Kuujjuaq (YVP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/yvp/montreal-to-kuujjuaq) > > [Flights from Rochester (ROC) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/roc/fll/rochester-to-fort-lauderdale) > > [Flights from College Park (ATL) to Birmingham (BHM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/atl/bhm/atlanta-to-birmingham) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Hamburg (HAM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/ham/winnipeg-to-hamburg) ### Cruise ### Vacation Rentals ### General > [Visit Cape Town City Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Cape-Town-City-Centre.dx6197560)
