The Devon Hotel A Heritage Hotel
Very clean room, overly soft bed wasn't great, the shower pressure was a bit meh and the room was quite noisy from both the corridor on one side and the courtyard on the other, mainly childen playing (it was Easter weekend) but quiet enough once they calmed down.

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 ...
