“University Inn places you steps from Mill Avenue's buzz, making it ideal for those wanting to explore Tempe's nightlife. The updated rooms offer comfort, though some may find the bathroom design less than perfect. While the immediate area presents some urban challenges, the friendly front desk and location are definite advantages. If you're noise-sensitive, pack earplugs or request a room away from the street.”
