Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The beds here were very comfortable and the room was reasonably spacious. The breakfast was very nice and you had a choice of fruit, cereals and hot food. The lady who was taking care of everyone was lovely and she is a credit to the company.

The hotel is very close to the main shopping area with the restaurants and bars. It is also a short walk to the lake where you can take a towel and have a swim. A very convenient location with lots to do around.

I am not sure why this place has so many bad reviews. We stayed for only 1 night and the place was VERY CLEAN and was a nice stay. The furniture is old but given the price and how clean the unit was, it was a great find for us. It came with a nice kitchen, a good size fridge and dishes and dishwashers. Parking was provided right in front of the unit.

The Acapulco does not look inspiring from the road, a little dated but tidy. The room we had was a basic motel room it had a kitchenette with hot plates and microwave, good cutlery and china. The room was one of the cleanest we have been in and the bed was firm without being too hard. The sheets and towels were of the highest quality. The room had been renovated and the bathroom had a good vanity. Great place to stay at a very reasonable price. Only a 3 minute walk down the road to the lakeside.

The room number 14 was dirty, dust and a really bad musty smell. The curtains were stained, the room is old and tired, the beds were not comfortable and the bedding smelt musty. I was really unhappy with this place, the whole property needs some one who can give it some love and care, would not stay again even if offered it for free.

We booked one night at the Acapulco Quality Inn in Taupo for 2 January 2023. On arrival we were given a dark corner unit with almost no natural light and no outlook of any kind. It felt like going into a cave. While the bathroom was fresh and clean and the bed was fine, the kitchen area was old and run down. Given we had paid $265.50 we were shocked by the standard of accommodation offered for that price, regardless of it being peak holiday season. Had we paid $165 we would have been disappointed but we would have accepted that was what our money had bought. However at $265 this was in no way value for money. We will not stay there again.

I have reviewed this motel in the past and am reviewing it again because it has deteriorated in quality since our last stay; in spite of 'quality' being in its title.
We had a one bedroom unit and we were so disappointed. The double bed was in the living area and it should have been in the bedroom. The TV and microwave were difficult to operate - gave up on the microwave. Instead found a portable 2 element electric plug in; like something you would use if you were camping - not that you would be able to plug it in! Picture attached. This appliance was balanced precariously on a very small bench and there I tried to poach an egg using a frying pan that was not fit for purpose - the non stick had come off in parts. Very unhealthy; picture attached. No hooks in the bathroom to hang your towel which was placed on a high shelf. Not good if you were short. I will not stay here again and I see that others are of the same opinion. At $215 a night this was poor value for money

Wifi never worked in room.Rooms were pretty standard.

Heather who managed the breakfast buffet was straight up racist and rude.We have been in NZ for 10 years and never faced such blatant racism. Not sure what ticked her off but from the first interaction to last over 2 days she was consistently rude. The male owner was also rude- overall stay was unwelcoming and super uncomfortable.

Please do yourself a favour and avoid this place at all costs, just not worth it.Plenty of other stay options nearby.

Definitely do not stay here - customer service is a 0 out of 10. Booked in here a few months back for a family of four , which we were all very excited for.

Paid in full ($300+) but due to COVID Volatility had to cancel the booking at least 3 months prior to the stay date. This was a “non refundable” booking which we had only found out after payment , so we were refused a Refund due to this being the owners policy.

We were then emailed and told that we had been tentatively Re-booked in again for October the 31st ( not a suitable date at all for us ) which we told them that this wouldn’t work out due to work commitments and not being able to get work off for this date that seemed to only suit them. Informed them of this fact via email. (Multiple emails back and forth requesting our money back) it’s just the morally and ethically right thing to do - we physically couldn’t stay and had paid for a room upfront , money that they have decided to hold on to.

They then rung my wife today to see where we were / if we were going to stay there the night. No information passed on to anyone of this matter. I then rung them back and asked where our money was / had gone to. We don’t know was the reply. Asked to please speak to the owner about a refund. Was told this wasn’t at all possible. Asked for ANYONES number to help resolve the issue. None given.

Moving forward , we will never book or stay here again and will actively recommend to others if they go to Taupo to avoid staying at the Acapulco Motor Inn.

Good Location, Clean room and good quality bath towels. Staff friendly Part of six and stayed in 2 rooms
However both rooms are out!
Carpet worn out and frayed. Double bed is a full size and the inter-spring mattress is terribly worn out. Sofa was covered with a small beach type blanket because it was very dirty and worn out
Would not come back again. Recommend looking elsewhere

We used a Grab One voucher, because it included a cooked breakfast. Supposed to be a studio unit, but it was a separate bedroom which was a nice surprise. Very comfortable unit with everything we needed plus a few nice extras (like complementary biscuits to go with the cup of tea). On a nice day it would be an easy walk down to the Lake. Bit far for us to walk into the township for dinner, but only a 5 minute drive. Easy check-in with friendly staff. The cooked breakfast was delicious !!! Nice and hot (and buffet type breakfasts aren't always), with lots of choices. Only minus would be that the bed was pretty hard. Would definitely go back.

I am not sure as we only stayed there for one night and don't even know there is one. Also not sure if there is a dinning area as breakfast was served in our room.
