    The location was convenient and easy to find. Check in was quick even though I arrived after 10 pm. The room, linens, and bathroom were spotless and the lights were on when I opened the door. I would recommend this inn for a no-frills place close to ASU and the light rail and at a great price.

    What really stood out was their honesty and customer service. After I checked out, I realized I had accidentally left my JBL Bluetooth speaker in the room. The staff actually called me to let me know they had found it and held onto it until I could come back and pick it up. That level of integrity and attention to guests is rare and greatly appreciated. Overall, this was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Clean rooms, great staff, and outstanding service. Highly recommended!

    Property seemed to be nice upon arrival but I had bugs in my room on a daily and even found a bad stain on my covers. Was told that to compensate I could have a late check out which then turned into them saying I could not day of after I made plans to stay a bit longer….they went in and grabbed all my things out and I never received some of my jewelry and when I went back to get it out the room they told me I was trespassing and call the police. The worse place I have ever booked with Expedia and the owner is not professional she yelled at me that I’m privileged as if I wasn’t a paying customers… all in all your better off booking with the motel 6 or even spending a bit more to stay at a more professional and clean establishment.

    Staying at the University Inn & Suites during our visit to ASU was a great experience for me and my teenagers. We booked two King rooms, the space was cozy, clean and tidy. Since we spent most of our days exploring the university and the surrounding area, the compact size was not an issue, the rooms served as the perfect, comfortable spot to recharge after a long day. The hotel is perfect location. It is very close to the ASU campus, local shops, hiking trails, and public transportation. The team was incredibly nice and accommodating. We arrived in the early morning, well before the official check-in time, and they allowed us to store our belongings at the office until our rooms were ready. Because of the central location, you can hear some noise at night from passing vehicles and people on the street. If you are a light sleeper, you might want to bring earplugs.

    This is an older facility that has recently been meticulously renovated and professionally decorated . The bathroom has all new tile, modern fixtures, a nice walk-in showers with a wonderful waterfall shower head. The lighting in the bathroom is not very good. Tlhere is a nice bright light in the shower but it backlights you when you look in the mirror. The mirror has florescent light; around the rim of the mirror but it doesn't do very well. My issues were with the electrical system. There was literally one two pronged outlet available. Nothing near the bed. You have to unplug the refrigerator to use the coffee maker and the cord for the coffee maker is so short, you have to put it on the floor to use it. We stayed two nights and the room can be cleaned on request but if you donuts request then you have only two coffee pouches to use both days. Same with towels. Only two bath towels. I certainly have no problem having $100 charged to my card for "incidentals" like minibar, snacks etc. but there NO INCIDENTALS in the room Closing on a good note, the bed is so comfortable!

    Small. Limited parking, probably less spaces than rooms so if everyone is driving a vehicle it becomes a problem. It's two story with no elevator. No breakfast no pool no working out. It's as basic as it can get I'd say amenities are on par with a motel 6 but the prices for a room are comparable to a Marriott.

It’s only a 5-10 minute walk from a bunch of great restaurants and SUPER close (3-minute walk) to a fun dinner place (Casey Moore’s) and a great coffee shop for breakfast. We even got tattoos since there is a tattoo parlor nearby. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. We will book this for future shows! Parking lot is a little snug.

    The only downside is the office makes ALL visitors require ID at the front office upon check-in, so have it on hand. Photo ID must be within expiration. One of the greatest perks is that everything you need is within walking distance. There are an abundance stores, banks, food, entertainment, and accessible transit choices- the light rail, street car (located at the nearest corner), buses and rental e-scooters. And, if you want to see anyone or tour ASU, its very close to campus and on-campus housing. The general close proximity to west campus and Mill Ave- the area's food, entertainment, and nightlife hub- is great. It is one of the best spots you can stay at to tour campus, enjoy a musical, shop downtown Tempe, go out for a night of bar-hopping, or even rent a boat on the lake- while still having a quiet place to sleep at night. And a very welcome surprise is their late check out policy, which allows you to extend your check out as long as you want/need, at only $10/hr... which is great for mid-day flights or late sleepers.

    I felt completely disrespected and unsafe. No guest should ever be treated this way. I strongly do not recommend staying here—there are plenty of other places in Tempe where you’ll be treated fairly and actually get the rest and comfort you’re paying for.

    The pictures didn’t match the property, I reserved a suite and got a one room with a closet space for a pull out couch. When I told the front desk clerk he became rude and refused to call the manager after I requested to speak with him. They are refusing to give me a refund and I had to book a different hotel. I would not recommend this place to anyone

    First from they put me in had a mattress that should have been thrown out 6 years ago. This thing was so far beyond worn it was like sleeping in an inner tube. Then they put me in a second room in which the electricity didn't work near the bed so I was unable to use my sleep machine. Kind of a noisy location as well

    It’s misleading I believe I was getting a more modern room with more space when we walked in. It was so small. The door hit the bathroom door coming in. It’s only open halfway. The room looks like a jail cell. The only thing nice about it. Was the very tiny updated bathroom… will not be back.

    This motel is conveniently located, clean, and reasonably priced. It’s been renovated recently, but is pretty bare bones and a bit noisy because of the location on a main road through ASU. It’s nit picking, but combined shampoo/conditioner is an oxymoron. Spend a dollar and provide both separately. And, wooden shutters let in a lot of light at night. Again, no serious complaints, but nothing to get excited about.
