“Just right for a short stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 20, 2013

This was a surprisingly well-equipped motel for the price. Big room, desk, bath, amenities, plus free wi-fi and a continental breakfast. All for a very modest price. Only concern for light sleepers - there is a rail line nearby, so I did hear trains a few times. I was there for less than 12 hours, for an early meeting at the university, so this fit the bill perfectly. Try it and you will be pleasantly surprised.

Room Tip: Second floor will avoid the lights from the cars parked in front of the rooms.

Dear Barbara9286,

Thank you for taking the time to review us on TripAdvisor. I am so pleased to hear that one of your initial thoughts were about how our motel was "well-equipped". We have invested much energy into providing all the essential amenities our guests would need such as TVs with many channels, free wireless internet, microwave, refrigerator, hair dryer, iron, comfortable beds, and much more! We also provide free breakfast every morning, all at a reasonable price for our guests. We are much a distance away from the railroad tracks, but we wish just as much as you if the trains would be quite at night for light sleepers all around. Unfortunately we do not have the ability to do that so we do manage with it. Being at a walking distance to the University and downtown, our motel is at a wonderful location. We thank you for all the kind comments and recommending this place to others. We hope to see you again!

Sincerely,

University Inn Mgmt.

“Nice motel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 20, 2013

This was a good motel in a good location, the staff were very helpful when I asked about restaurants near by. The room was clean and comfortable, a bit dated but I would stay again. The breakfast was nice, not a huge selection but nice.

“perfect place to stay during the gem show”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013

This is already the 6th or 7th year that I stay here for around a week during the annual Tucson Gem show Event. Size of the rooms is very nice and You find all that You need for a stay like fridge, microwave and even a hot iron. The owner keeps his house in really good condition. But most of all I enjoy the hospitality Henry( the owner) and his family provide to their guests. When I visit Tucson this is my first choice.

“Excellent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

Sometimes I just need a place to sleep and don't want to break the bank. Staff was just as accomodating as if I was at a five star hotel. Room was clean without that awful chemical smell so often found in budget places. Will stay again.

Room Tip: I requested ground floor and was given ground floor
