Detailed Reviews
We loved the room. My husband and I stayed for 3 nights on a vacation. The bed was comfy and clean. towels were thick and clean and bathroom was also clean. The fridge would have needed a wipe inside and out but it was still very useable. I loved the refillable dispensers of shower gel, shampoo and hand lotion. It’s very environmentally friendly.so good on you University Inn owners for taking this step. However the bottles and bottle holders need to be 100% clean to make this acceptable. These details do make a big difference. The room was dusted and freshly vacuumed - important to me as I have a dust allergy which makes my eyes swell almost shut when it’s really bad. I had no worries here as I could see the room was clean. We were on the second floor (no elevator which could be problematic for some). We couldn’t hear our neighbours. The heating system worked well- Tucson had a freezing advisory one of the nights we stayed there. It is close to two busy streets but overnight there was little noise.I have no problems recommending this Inn- very good money for value.

We found the University Inn, while without a lot of frills, to be clean and comfortable. People with allergies, like ourselves, will appreciate the clean linoleum floors. Staff were pleasant, and it was a nice stop on our trip back into the Tucson area. Good value for money!

Stayed here for one night. Our room matched the on line photos to a tee. Loved the décor especially the white and blue tile bathroom which had a double shower head and lots of sunlight. Bed was very comfortable and the room smelled clean with no chemical fragrances (to which I am sensitive to). Really appreciate that there was no carpeting. Vinyl wood flooring which is easy to keep clean. Excellent quality TV and good WiFi reception. Motel grounds were very clean. Managers of the hotel were very nice and accommodating. CheckIn/Out seamless. We did not check out the continental free bkfast so cannot comment on that. We will definitely stay here again.

The bed, pillows and linens are excellent. I use room mostly for sleeping.
But the old bathrooms, trim around doors and layers of paint make the place feel cheap, as does the exterior, falling-apart-macadam, cheesy posts and handrails. Update the fixtures and finishes and make exterior read as a cohesive mid-century modern place and you’ll have a winner. But in my mind the lack of cohesion vacillates between nice upgrade and flea bag.

This motel was extremely clean, spotless, and recently painted. The beds were very comfortable, linens were changed daily, and we enjoyed and used the refrigerator and microwave. There were soap and lotion dispensers in shower and sink areas. The air conditioning worked great! We will need to be in Tucson several times a year and we will definitely stay at the University Inn!

At University Inn I got fantastic value for my money. The room was spacious, clean, comfortable and quiet. Hotel service was impeccable. If I needed anything it was provided immediately and efficiently. The hotel manager was nice, professional and incredibly helpful. The other hotel employees also did a good job and were easy to deal with. the hotel location was good. It lies within walking distance from the University of Arizona. Also, once a person learns how to use the city bus service they can go just about anywhere in the Tucson area. I had a GREAT experience at University Inn.

I stayed here based on other good reviews and was not disappointed. From the outside it's nothing fancy, and parking is a bit tight but was directly in front of the room. The room had everything we needed. The rooms have been redone, are clean, no odors, and we slept really well. Even the double shower head in the bathroom offered a great shower. Staff are friendly. The location is super close to the University of Arizona which is where our event was. As long as no one stands in front of your room talking, there were no issues with noise. We did not try the continental breakfast, so can't comment on that. Definitely a good value for the money. We would stay here again.

I needed a place to stay that was close to the University of Arizona, and this place fit the bill. It's no-frills, but has amenities like a mini-fridge, microwave, and a comfortable bed. Its location is where this property really shines as it is a 5-minute drive to downtown. A good value if you don't need anything fancy.

The room was very clean and updated. It had fridge, microwave,iron, coffee pot, hangers, double-headed shower, USB port on both sides of the king-sized bed. Lots of lighting throughout the room. It was a large room too. Comfortable bed and pillows. Friendly staff and easy check in. Quiet area.

As the name implies, the University Inn is convenient to the UA campus and local businesses. It's an older property, but recently remodeled and well maintained, and the location is quiet in spite of being near some busy streets. I was favorably impressed, and would stay there again. (My only criticism: At least in my room, there was no convenient way to turn the lights off from the bed. Maybe a bedside lamp should be added.)
