I liked that it was fairly close to the Yale campus but it really did require taking an Uber at night. Just a nice and clean, simple hotel.

This is a great place to stay. If they could provide breakfast or hot water, it would make the experience even better.

This was my first time staying at University Inn. I was impressed and the price was reasonable. I plan to book it again next time when I'm in town if they keep up this quality.

Good value, helpful staff
We were comfortable for the 4 days we stayed. The staff were very helpful and friendly. It’s not fancy but serviceable and good value.

Basic but good
This hotel is very bare-bones, but for the price, you can’t beat it! If you just need a place to sleep, this is a place for you.

Clean budget motel
It was clean and fine to sleep, but it smelled way too much like cleaner or air freshener. I had a headache. Other that that, it was what I expected.
