Academy Motor Inn

Great value motel - clean rooms, great staff, comfy beds, what more can you ask for. I only stayed a night but will definitely return next time I am in Tauranga. Possibly the only flaw is having someone else’s Ute backed right up to your window as the parking spaces don’t correlate with the units, but you close the curtains and it’s gone

I highly recommend this accommodation if you are staying in Tauranga. The rooms are clean, modern and very comfortable. Great choice of pillows, comfortable beds and sofa, Sky TV in both bedroom and lounge. Air conditioning in the bedroom and fan in the lounge a must for summer. In addition to the great facilities the owner was absolutely lovely. We'd been having a difficult day when we stopped to see if they had availability, the owner could not have been more patient, reassuring and accommodating.

This place is amazing. The units are newly renovated, VERY clean and VERY functional! All the cooking facilities you need, even a coffee maker and milk frother. The beds are comfy, the AC unit works a treat, the couch and chair nice and soft, and the hosts! Theyre so friendly and amazing. I loved my stay here and when back in Tauranga I will most definitely be staying here again. There is roadworks right outside and couldnt hear anything once inside. Its literally 2 minutes from the hospital, even with heavy traffic and alot of roadworks. Just an absolute pleasure staying here. P.S. To the hotel hosts and staff..i was meant to leave a note before we left as we left before the office opened. But thank you so much for making what is usually a very hectic time for us a real breeze. We felt very comfortable and looked after. I wish all the best things for you guys! Thanks again.

We've been coming here for four years around new year. For families who want access to the Mount (motorway two blocks away) but without the extortionate cost of accommodation at peak times, this is as good as a motel gets. On 15th Ave, it's a couple of blocks from a Countdown and Pak n Save. The rooms have all been refurbished recently, and they've been well maintained. Each time we go, there's something added: last time it was new couches and a smart TV; this time it was a coffee machine. Cute pool and a good spa. Owners are very helpful / approachable. It's on Cameron Road, so you'll hear the odd siren and blow-off valve, but the rooms are pretty quiet nonetheless.

I have traveled to this Inn for over forty business trips, and have been accommodated in each and every instance by the proprietors. They have gone well beyond the mark, especially during Covid where they were flexible with our business needs and with my personal needs, and that is indeed value for the money. The hotel location is close to the downtown area, close to the motorway, and easy to find. Additionally, I was able to lap swim not too far away at Greerton or during the Summer at the Memorial Park, making things easy. The tidiness is a signal of their integrity, and they understand that the feeling of security and hospitality doesn't start at the hotel door--it starts at the reservation and ends at check-out. A very good operator at Academy Motor Inn.

Spotless and friendly What an outstanding level of service and welcome to this deservedly busy motel in Tauranga tonight Very well presented premises with an exceptional level of cleanliness inside and out All pleasure to highly recommend this hardworking team Support them with your custom

Made a last minute booking but after a 5 hour drive we arrived to find they had given our room away because i had accidentally used my debit card to book instead of my credit card. They had emailed me but i had been busy and not seen it. They had not bothered to pick up the phone. Instead of offering to help me, the old lady just laughed when i asked if they had a room available for me anyway - just to rub some salt in.

The rooms are nice, large bed, easy dinning area, spa bath, wifi, aircon and a fan, tv with plenty of channels breakfast menu if you want it good prizes, lots of restaurants not to far away i found the place was very comfortable with eveything you my need
