Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
My stay at the university inn was horrible! Everything from dirty rooms, broken ice machines, missing iron, to them taking my whole deposit. They took 100$ because they said my sheets were dirty. ( i guess they haven't heard of a washing machine). I tryed to call and talk to the boss, i was told to call back in 30 min. When i called back they ignored my calls. Untill i called from different number. And still haven't talked to the boss. They dont offer any kind of housekeeping during your stay! Probably the wrost hotel i have ever stayed at...

It has clearly had updated that kept costs down. But it was very clean and the bed was good. The lighting and electric plugs were lacking, and the internet didn't work well.
