david

Liked: Cleanliness
Property only had limited king-size beds (which we had reserved) on first floor, and had no elevators, so my mobility-limited wife couldn't reach what was left on 2nd floor. No refund so we took double beds. Toilet had leaking flapper valve so we had to shut off water supply to avoid it running off and on all night. Shower drain very sluggish. No towel rack near sink. It was quite clean, though, and staff did help with TV that had come disconnected from antenna.

Walls are thin and my neighbors were hard of hearing. Aside from that the hotel is absolutely adorable, clean, adequate parking and the owner made certain I was unquestionably clear this is a non-smoking hotel (which I very much appreciate). Will definitely re-book for my next stay.

A central location from which to operate.

The room fit my needs. I'm not a demanding traveler. Check in/check out were both fast and hassle-free. Desk staff was efficient. Housekeeping refreshed the room in a timely manner. I've stayed at the University Inn before. Each time has been pleasant. When future travel to Tucson calls, I hope this motel can provide me lodging.

Nice Inn

It is a low key-style small Inn, but scores high in cleanliness, comfort, and very economical in fees. Close to downtown. Offered small breakfast bar and coffee. Friendly staff.

This is an older property that has been renovated. The rooms were clean and comfortable. There was a park next door that seemed to be a little sketchy. The area overall was older but OK and convenient.

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.
