Academy Motor Inn

Inn

Location is close to the city. Great little apartments with bedroom upstairs. Feels very homely. Staff polite. Internet fast and free. Good visit.

Friendly and welcoming staff go out of their way to accommodate you. Rooms great and cleaned daily to a high standard.

Really cozy place to stay. Place was clean and was placed well to get into town. Parking was very cramped however at least they had some. Was accused of cooking smells while I was there however didn't cook in our room, they took it back after a long time of us explaining and said it must have been the people next door. Felt that the price was fairly high in comparison to other places in the area and would probably stay somewhere else in the future.

It was a great place to stay would definately stay there again with no problem.

I stayed here a few months ago now and my stay was really comfortable. I arrived late and the hosts were extremely understanding. The room was immaculately clean and the room didn’t require any maintenance. There was a back door to my room with a lovely grassed area which would be a really safe place for the kids to run around or for you to just chill.

A very nice and cosy place with friendly, patient and helpful staff. Was very clean tidy and comfortable.

We had a lovely comfortable quiet night on our visit. Impeccable cleanliness and wonderful linen on our bed. Would recommend and also stay again. Alison and Michael Morris.

Very comfy stay! Very accommodating… I recommend staying here!

An ok place. Tidy, clean, spacious enough. Bed comfortable.

Very nice everything about it was nice you had a bit of privacy nice people.

Nice owners… relaxing rooms. Pool was well used. Will be back.

The lady who managed the place was very grumpy. We paid a crazy amount of money for bond which was $500 a room and all we were doing was sleeping for one night, she never communicated to us over the phone the price that needed to be on the credit card. We turned up at night and was leaving early morning and she made us wait 3hours before we could get in our rooms for the $500 a room bond. So we left. She kept watching my friends stayed there out her office window and came into the rooms everyday sneaking around. It was clean but the service as awful. Would never go there.

Is there such a thing as no stars? This is by far the worst motel I have rented. I'll be fair. The facilities were really nice. And the spa and the pool was a nice touch. We had a large group, so I can understand the owners having a hard time managing our bookings. However… they should be used to scenarios like this. At every turn, the owners would be condescending and treat us like we were 12. We paid for a room with three beds, which ended up being two for some reason when the owners decided to lock up the fold out couch. So what was a nice comfortable sleep turned to be an experience in solitary confinement for me. I woke up genuinely thinking that I was in a prison. Not very nice guys. Room service was a lesson in how not to do hospitality. I asked the cleaners multiple times to vaccum the room and even after my third attempt the room was still dirty. My next stay in Tauranga will definitely be elsewhere.

Nice rooms good service handy location.

Lovely owners very kind and helpful rooms are very clean and comfortable handy to town The set up of Comfort inn is excellent.

I booked through wotif, to arrive and find my booking had been cancelled months ago and there was no communication to advise me of this. Lots of noise about how they could not contact me, but I had received email confirmation notices no problems. I see I am not the first person to have this issue. And what's worse the owners could not have cared less. They blamed wotif, wotif blamed them. Due to being AIMS games weekend, there was zero other accommodation available. I would have given zero stars if that was possible.

Comfortable although bit close to street so noisy during the day if you work night shifts. No block out curtains in the rooms either.

Hosts were very obliging. Room was clean and comfortable. Would go there again.

I booked a room with Wotif and the motel did not honour the booking. The staff member was very unhelpful, and give no explanation apart from its not her problem.

Very relaxing place to stay. We had numerous swims, which was lovely. Gladys and Kelvin are so hospitable. Thanks again.

A lot of work has gone into caring for and presenting these rooms. Really well equipped and tidy.

Stayed overnight Sunday 13th December. An excellent choice. VERY clean and tidy. Good showers and facilities we would highly recommend it if visiting Tauranga. It is close to the road so there is road noise but such a great place who cares.

Perhaps the best motel unit Í've ever stayed in. Fresh clean and new. Comforable bed, comfortable pillows. Nice and warm on a cold night. Surprisingly quiet. Esay to find. Very friendly and helpful owners.

Have stayed multiple times, always find it clean and comfortable and the staff are friendly and helpful. Would recomend to anyone staying in tauranga.

Stayed last Thursday and was very disappointed with the lack of service. My husband booked and paid extra for a double spa bath only to find out that the on/off was miles away from the spa and hidden behind the TV and no one thought it was a good idea to mention this when we checked in as opposed to when we checked out. Fridge was not set cold enough, toilet seat felt dirty …
