Distinction New Plymouth Hotel
The parking was fine, The reception gentleman was awesome and checking in was a breeze. He gave great advice for a meal. However, I thought the room was very dreary and the bed was soft. It had everything in it but it just didn't feel like a hotel. And the big clinch was having to wipe number twos ...

Flamingo Motel
Nice place, slightly dated but nothing to prevent an enjoyable stay. Car parks were spacious and easy to get in and out of. Pool looked good. A brand new trampoline was being put up when i was there. The guy managing the place was friendly and approachable.
