I have stayed at this hotel twice now. This stay I was in building B which is in a slightly older part of the hotel. That being said I still found the stay to be good quality. The bed was super comfortable and the room was tidy and spacious. The front desk staff is really courteous and I like that the hotel offers a free breakfast. It was an unseasonably hot weekend and the AC worked perfectly.

You have to pay to park !

It was a overall a great stay! The Hotels.com listing does not disclose that you have to pay to park. Unfortunately, we had two vehicles so it was double the cost :( If this was actually disclosed in the hotel.com listing, i would have avoided this property.

I am a busy mom, I live in the area and I am an alumni at PSU. I have found University Place to be a great spot to hang out during a summer heat wave when I want to live by the pool and don't want to struggle with the AC at home. I also sometimes rent a room here if I am needing some time alone to unwind. It's a decent hotel for a decent price and I plan to keep coming back.

Outdated but can’t beat what you get for the money

You can’t beat the location, price, pool, free breakfast, cheap parking, and good staff. However, this hotel is absolutely outdated. Our room was clean with everything you need, but there was a wet area on the carpet where something is clearly leaking (near the bathroom door and along one wall) and the sliding door didn’t shut completely/lock (we were on the 3rd floor and so not totally worried about it).

I’d say the overall rank for this property was average. The staff talked really quietly for me to hear them most of the time, but other than that it was okay. Breakfast area was nice but very limited options. The room was clean and the parking lot was spacious. If I’m staying here for only a night, yes, but no longer than that.

University Place was a decent place to stay for a short period of time. We stayed for two nights. The room was relatively clean but dated (it needs some major updating, the carpet replaced, better beds with sheets that fit the beds, and a good breakfast bar), did not have many amenities, the breakfast was limited. There are so many homeless people lying all over the place. I would not have felt safe to walk around there alone. With all that said, we would stay here again as it is close to transportation, the hospital, restaurants, and the people that worked there are super nice.
