Room was clean and staff was helpful. This is an older hotel that has been updated. The neighborhood was sketchy but the hotel felt quiet and secure

There’s a nice shower head and the rooms are clean and spacious. Neighborhood wasn’t great but there was a park across the street.

The upgrades of the room were nice.
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was clean and beds were comfortable. The staff was friendly. The only mention is that the area seems a little be less than desirable. It is a stones throw away from a public park. With that being said we did not feel unsafe.

Always pleasant stay.
Angela, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We came for family weekend at U of A. This hotel is 1 mile away so it was good for walking to the University, food and bars. Down side is it’s in a rough neighborhood. Staff was very friendly and rooms were clean and comfy beds.
Rachel, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was fine. Close to downtown. AC unit in Room 105 was really noisy with weird rattles, and the toilet tank leaked so it filled sporadically through the night. The room was recently renovated, with a large TV and comfortable bed. The price was economical.

Gregory, 1-night trip

Didn't feel safe at all for me. But once i got in the room it was good. Just locked all the locks and prayed. 😆
Bobbi, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room I was in was carpeted (opposite from in the photo), but it made no difference in my experience. The room was very clean, plenty of plugs, comfortable beds, and both a mini fridge and a microwave. It's clearly undergone a glow-up from something closer to a Motel 6 and includes some very nice mural art on the wall dividing the bathroom from the rest of the room. The front desk staff was great and I paid very reasonable prices. The only possible drawback would be if I had no car, but overall I'd stay there again in an instant.
Sarah, 3-night trip

I wish I had not waited until my daughter was a senior to stay here. Very clean and nice staff.

Can’t complain it was better than expected. The room was cute and parking was easily accessible. I would stay again good price.
Lilian, 2-night trip

As I travel regularly, I pass through this city and it seems to me to be a place that stands out for its cleanliness and is close to the highway.

Donald, 1-night trip

Football trip.

It’s very convenient location. Walking distance to the University and downtown but there are plenty of ride share options so you can park and go. Recently remodeled and very functional at a great price. Perfect to go to Games at the Uni or just sightseeing and touring Tucson.

Tucson Visit

University Inn is a recently remodeled hotel. It's easy access to I-10. Close to downtown Tucson and many restaurants. Room was clean, bed very comfortable, and room was quiet. Price for the night good too. We will stay again.
