Staff were super nice - check-in was a bit clunky but we were well taken care of and they couldn’t have been more helpful. The only thing was it was very noisy on Mill Ave until 3am when it finally calmed down - we were up at 6am so not a great nights sleep - but it was Friday night so maybe that’s normal

University Inn provided my son and I with the perfect place to stay in the heart of ASU, while visiting my daughter for Family Weekend. The room was modern, beautiful, and immaculate. The price point was very affordable. The staff were helpful and friendly. I will not hesitate to stay at University Inn again!
