We enjoyed the room. The bed was comfy, the room warm, and the bathroom immaculate with his and hers vanity's. Very nice. Our favorite routine was to .wake up, hit the well-equipped gym, and go to breakfast at the hotel restaurant. The buffet breakfast was top knotch. And then spend the day sightseeing before catching up with our student son for dinner. Then we would use the clothes washer and dryer to get the gym clothes ready for the next day. The staff are very friendly, respectful and helpful. I think we will stay at Distinction Hotels wherever we are.

The Distinction is always our go to when in Dunedin or Christchurch. It's always a great stay and I would have given it 5 stars across the board however we had a terrible king size bed with a hump in the middle and bad sagging on both sides. Back was killing me when I woke up. I advised reception on checkout and they were going to get it removed. It was so unlike previous stays with them as the beds are usually fabulous. Otherwise everything else was fabulous.

Such a convenient location! I was upgraded upon check in that was very special. As I asked about where I would find the "inhouse" laundry facility? I was told there was a full set in my unit. EXTRA SPECIAL, as I had been traveling a week, and needed to do a load of cloths.
