Nice looking structure from the outside. Clean and airy on the inside. Good exercise room. Great laundry room. And all front desk people were helpful. My room was advertised as a king/ kitchenette. Was suprised to find just a microwave, coffe pot, small sink, refrigerator and counter top area. No other items provided..i.e., no pots, np dishes, no silverware. So... More

This hotel is located next to UK, their stadiun, basketball arena and several great resturants. The rooms are clean and very comfortable and affordable!

Stayed at University Inn for 3 nights while our crew visited UK (2 rooms). The hotel is made up of two converted apartment buildings. The layout is not your typical business traveler hotel. Rooms are spacious but have no desks. The rooms and common areas were kept very clean. One room, with a queen bed, had a large counter with... More

This is not a bad place to stay, it is reasonable and clean. The rooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable....Second time staying there and they have a good variety of rooms...The only downside is there is no amenities and it is next to UK's Hospital so you hear sirens quite a bit..

The management and staff goes above and beyond to provide everything you need. Rooms clean, bedding plush, housekeeping prompt and courteous. Continental breakfast, fresh coffee and real creamer 24/7 and selection of teas. I was there for an extended stay, caring for a loved one at the UK Medical Center, and the staff, knowing this, went above and beyond. Highly... More

We choose the University Inn as a place for our future in-laws to stay. We were meeting them for the first time and wanted to make sure their stay was enjoyable. The Inn met and surpassed all of our expectations. The rooms were clean, well decorated and the staff extremely pleasant and helpful. We highly recommend it for anyone staying... More

Rooms older yet clean. Pillows not comfortable. Front desk staff very nice and efficient. Breakfast Lame for the price of the room. Embassy suites are head over heels above this place. Noisy!!! Can hear everything in nearby rooms so wear earplugs and that MIGHT help.

University Inn was my first taste of not only Kentucky, but the USA and I loved it. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the room spotlessly clean and very comfortable with a decent Continental breakfast. Spent my first 5 nights here before travelling around Kentucky and have re-booked twice.

I booked my room on priceline, which can sometimes be scary since you do not know where you are staying until after you have paid, but I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised! I had read some of the other rooms before making the trip and I was a little worried. Our room was exactly as pictured with the... More

This is not even motel 6 material and what makes it worse is the pictures depict this updated room with comfy beds BUT what we were given was a below average bed with thin pillows, worn blankets and a paper thin bed spread...yes bed spread...not comforter. Don't be fooled by the pictures. Also wifi internet access did not work.
