Distinction Whangarei Hotel & Conference Centre
"Beds were very comfortable, the lighting was all on one switch, so couldn’t have lower dimmed lights on in the evening. The shower was very small. Room entry doors were very noisy as guests came & went, maybe they should all be fitted with an automatic door closure."
