I've stayed in this hotel a number of times over the years. The rooms are very recently renovated and are both attractive and comfortable. Will definitely consider this for my next Tucson visit. Both furnishings and decor are very nice. HVAC system was also new and worked flawlessly.

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.)

A nice, close to city center motel/hotel that is surprisingly quiet. Clean and tidy plus an included basic continental breakfast. No frills but property is well maintained with easy access off I-10. Good value.

Bedding was nice and beds were comfy. It feels like someone is really trying to take something old, fix it up, and make it nice again. If they take their profits and continue to refurbish this old time motel it could easily become “the place” to stay when visiting the University of Arizona.

A Tripadvisor Member wrote a review Jan 2024
I was in Tucson for a conference at the University and the other hotels were completely out of my graduate student budget. I found this hotel to be pretty nice accommodations with a lovely staff, though at first the outside of it (vintage 1960s motel) had me a little worried. However, the inside has been recently remodeled and they've done a pretty good job at updating it. The beds were nice, they had a selection of pillow firmnesses for each bed, and the proximity to public transit was great. By comparison, our friends who stayed at the conference hotel said that the noise from the university's main drag was terrible and they all had a hard time sleeping—not so for me and my friend!

We've stayed here many times. Henry and his staff keep the place very clean and up to date. Easy parking and access to anything at the University or downtown by car or on foot if you like to walk. We are always happy to stay!

Quick stay for visiting Saguaro NP. The bed and room were comfortable and clean. The TV service was OK and could be improved a little. There were folks chatted really loud outside after quiet hours and we had to ask the manager to mute them unfortunately. The front desk was responsive. Didn't spend time to explore Tucson though.

Convinient location, well taken care of, clean, simple, and safe perimeter enclosure. Would recommend if budget minded yet still want to feel safe. No frills but gets the job done in a simple clean manner.

Came in for weekend for parents weekend at UofA. Location was great. Staff friendly. Rooms were clean and quiet and looked to be recently redone. Not too far walk to campus and close to freeway as well. All in all would stay here again no problem.

The University Inn is a clean well-run motel, with updated rooms and friendly staff. It is conveniently located to the University. There is adequate parking and (a nice touch) three EV charging stations!
