In general, everything was old. The door lock was rather flimsy hence I don’t feel secure in the room. Water pressure from shower head was low. We stayed for a few days, No replenishment of toiletries or water, need to request and pick up from concierge. The only plus of this hotel is everyone was very courteous, polite and helpful. This is the first and last time we will stay here.

The whole point of booking here was so we could use the restaurant being a Monday and everything else would be closed. Because they had an outside group booked for the restaurant we were unable to get a meal. Very poor when the chef dictates who gets fed and who doesn’t

An absolute lie from the wording and photos of the room I book to where I stayed. Supposedly elegant 4.5 star …. The room wouldn’t even be a 3 star. Shameful they can get away with advertising how they do!!

The room was very outdated and had a bad sewage smell in the bathroom. This room was nothing like what is advertised on the internet. Staff were great and tried to accommodate us with another room, however this property was fully booked.

Expensive room. Rated 4.5 star. Maybe 30 years ago. Nothing had changed since the 80s. Heat pump was 20 years old and didn’t work. And the whole property had a musty smell. Never again

I liked the efficient friendly reception on arrival. The value for money of the room. I did not like the fact that there is no lighting on the desk while using my laptop. I did not like that the shower is not a proper shower, i.e. it is accommodated in the bathtub.

Distinction Coachman was old and dated. Room carpet was rippled and a very old couple were given an upstairs room where there is no lift. I had to help carry their bags staff didn't want to know about it. Everything is rundown. Restaurant and cafe bar were closed more often than open.

The building is absolutely gorgeous on the outside and the lovely man that greeted my partner and I at the front desk was so sweet and friendly!! We were very excited to see the room in person as the pictures looked very nice, but once we settled in there, we were a little disappointed... The bathroom was beautiful but the shower was so dirty!! There was multi-coloured soap scum in the grout on the walls, lining the top edge of the bath where it meets the tiles, and all around the handle to turn the shower on. There was also a lot of calcium build up on the shower head. The shower pressure was good though and the bath part seemed clean but I think if I were to come here again, I will be bringing my own cleaning supplies. Also, the air conditioning unit did not work and the fan that was also provided for the room was extremely loud so it was a very hot night for us. Otherwise, there was a nice view of the fountain out in the backyard and it was a very quiet place to stay in. Overall we give it maybe a 6/10? Probably would stay here again just because of how great the parking was and how pretty the building is lol

Well I got off to a bad start thanks to the hotel group naming both their Palmerston North hotels with the word 'Distinction...' so I thought I had booked into the other hotel that is apparently not bad. So after a trivial $9 Uber I had made my way from the Distinction hotel to the Distinction Coachman hotel. My room was very old fashioned and in desperate need of an update, with no air conditioning in the peak of summer and a 70's decor. The staff were nice, meal was average and location okay to walk to town from.

The property and rooms were old and need updating, the night concierge was super nice and helpful so was the day staff. It was what we expected and suited our needs for 1 night of sleep.

I'm sorry to say this was my worst accommodation experience ever. I can't understand how this hotel is rated 4 stars. Palmerston North was almost shut down on 2 January, so I'm sure that didn't help. Here's what we got: -the restaurant was closed -the pool and spa were closed -we arrived at 4pm and saw many rooms not made up, with dirty dishes from room service still lying in the corridor -we got "upgraded" from motel suite to hotel room, but it was dark and musty so we asked to be put back in the motel -no microwave -no cloth to wash dishes or dish rack to stack them -no forks -carpet was so dirty we had to put down our picnic rug and sleeping mat on the floor so we could walk in socks or barefoot -bathroom floor was sticky -throws on beds were smelly and dusty -duvets were yellowed -the cleaner knocked on the door at 9:40, 20 minutes before checkout and before we had handed in our keys, even though there were hardly any other guests in the whole place -the photos on Expedia don't reflect reality I regret spending this money ahead of time. I recommend to drive into Palmerston North and have a look around the accommodation before you pay.

We liked the late check in, the rooms are a bit dated but back in the 90’s this motel was the very best in the area. We would stay again.

The staff were outstanding and very helpful. We stayed the previous night in Taupo and this hotel is only just under 2 hours drive to Wellington. We had a buffet breakfast included in our stay. Left Palmerston North at 9am and arrived in Wellington by 11am. Parked the car in Wilson car perk and had all day to look around Wellington in preparation to board our Interislander ferry to Picton
