Distinction Whangarei Hotel & Conference Centre

Distinction Whangarei Hotel & Conference Centre

8/10 Good
"Generally a very pleasant stay . Just 2 comments 1. The bath and shower would be safer with a hand grip. 2 The dining room would benefit from more separation of diners ; e.g glass partitions to improve privacy of dining and conversation"
