Positive: The cleaning staff were friendly and very helpful. Check-in person was friendly. Our bedroom was spacious and clean. Having access to a water filter station and free coffee was helpful. The bed was comfortable. The shower water pressure was nice. Toilet flushed well. A/C worked well.
Negative: Bathroom was a bit tight, but manageable. The WiFi did not work on our phones and iPads after the first night. It worked on my laptop during the entire stay, but it did not work for any of our other devices (4 iPhones, and 2 iPads) after the first night. These devices stated that the modem/router needed to be restarted, so I called the front desk and asked the attendant to restart the modem/router. She said the WiFi was fine and told us she couldn't do anything about it. She suggested restarting all of our devices and log into the wifi again. We followed her suggestions, but that did not resolve our issue.
Summary: The University Inn is a clean and spacious, no-frills stay.

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The photos in the hallway were very nice
Negative: The floors were not carpeted in the hall or rooms, so the noise from the whole hall echoed quite a bit which was a bit annoying since the doors all closed loudly. But overall, great stay.
