IanNew ZealandMost enjoyable all most slept in
perfect location to our friends house and our unit was quiet considering the closeness to Cameron Road
The place was just looking a bit tired but it was an older unit with big rooms and living area
ShannonNew ZealandExcellent, Good Value Motel With Great Facilities & Location
We really enjoyed our stay at the Academy Motor Inn last night. Unfortunately we didn't get time to really enjoy the motel and facilities much as we arrived quite late, it was nearly 9pm, the had to leave again at 8am…

Questions about Academy Motor Inn
What time is check-in and check-out at Academy Motor Inn?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Academy Motor Inn allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Academy Motor Inn?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Academy Motor Inn have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Is breakfast included at Academy Motor Inn?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Academy Motor Inn have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Academy Motor Inn?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Academy Motor Inn have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Academy Motor Inn?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
