Disliked: Amenities

This motel is conveniently located, clean, and reasonably priced. It’s been renovated recently, but is pretty bare bones and a bit noisy because of the location on a main road through ASU. It’s nit picking, but combined shampoo/conditioner is an oxymoron. Spend a dollar and provide both separately. And, wooden shutters let in a lot of light at night. Again, no serious complaints, but nothing to get excited about.

Light sleepers should avoid at all costs

If you are a light sleeper, avoid this place. Right next to a busy main street that people speed up and down all night long in addition to a train that that dings consistently. Room was super bright at night because the shutters don't block much light. I had the only room with an extremely bright light just outside of the bathroom window that spilled even more light into the room even with the barn door closed. I slept with an eye mask and ear plugs and was still awaken all night. But the biggest issue was the mattress. Pretty sure an elephant has slept in the middle of this bed for this last 10 years. The grounds and room were very clean. Staff was great.

Nice hotel, noisy location

We stayed at University Inn Tempe for one night. The service and cleanliness of the room were good - what we'd expect from a hotel of this size. The two concerns that we had were safety and noise. The room to our door had a standard lock, but no deadbolt or other second lock. The door itself had a slight gap (could feel a small draft from the outside) so it felt a bit insecure. For a hotel with high visibility to some major streets and lots of car and foot traffic in the area, this made me feel a little uneasy when going to sleep. Our second issue was the high level of noise from the street traffic. Cars revving down the street, two fire trucks in the middle of the night and the street trolly stop that including a dinging sound - maybe normal if you are used to sleeping in an urban location, but we are not. We didn't sleep well. A heads-up from the front-office when we checked in (and maybe an offer of ear plugs) would have been nice.
