Pleasantly surprised. The area around is rather sketchy but this quaint inn is clean and the rooms are very nice.

I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the property. The staff was very kind and attentive. It is definitely an older propert but a lot of care has gone into making it a comfortable stay. The price couldn't be beat!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Would stay there again. Good value
Very sketchy neighborhood. Exterior 2 stars, interior 4 stars
The room was clean and renovated. Bed was firm and comfortable, with three pillows on each bed. Huge TV, ice machine on site, minimal but sufficient breakfast available in the mornings, parking was convenient. Very close to downtown area. Great value for the money! Nothing fancy but highly recommend this place for practical stays.
Property only had limited king-size beds (which we had reserved) on first floor, and had no elevators, so my mobility-limited wife couldn't reach what was left on 2nd floor. No refund so we took double beds. Toilet had leaking flapper valve so we had to shut off water supply to avoid it running off and on all night. Shower drain very sluggish. No towel rack near sink.
It was quite clean, though, and staff did help with TV that had come disconnected from antenna.
Walls are thin and my neighbors were hard of hearing. Aside from that the hotel is absolutely adorable, clean, adequate parking and the owner made certain I was unquestionably clear this is a non-smoking hotel (which I very much appreciate). Will definitely re-book for my next stay.
The room fit my needs. I'm not a demanding traveler. Check in/check out were both fast and hassle-free. Desk staff was efficient. Housekeeping refreshed the room in a timely manner. I've stayed at the University Inn before. Each time has been pleasant. When future travel to Tucson calls, I hope this motel can provide me lodging.
It is a low key-style small Inn, but scores high in cleanliness, comfort, and very economical in fees. Close to downtown. Offered small breakfast bar and coffee. Friendly staff.
