Very friendly front desk. Room was decent, clean and bed was super comfortable and loved the pillows. Breakfast was just so so with very limited options but not a big deal to us though.

We were in town for Mom’s Weekend at UofA & very pleased with our accommodations! From the courtesy call on the day of check in to the retro-modern decor and MCM charm, the Inn was a pleasant experience.

Tucson Visit

We have stayed several times at University Inn when visiting Tucson. It is close to the freeway, restaurants, and places of interest to visit. Comfortable remodeled room for a reasonable price. We will stay again.

Staff was friendly and accommodating. Room was clean. Good value. Only issue we had was the noise. I could hear lives unfolding outside the door, and the street racers screeching down the Blvd. AND I would stay here again.
