Distinction Hamilton Hotel & Conference Centre

8/10 Good
"Spacious rooms in a quiet setting. Easy parking & access. Yes it’s dated but very practical & functional in the Te Rapa area of Hamilton. Restaurant on site open until late at night for dinner which is helpful after a long day of business meetings. Rooms are warm & comfortable."
