No staff on site was a big surprise...registered via a Zoom like device. Bathroom fan was so loud we had to use the hall light for bathroom illumination. Toilet seat was poorly connected. Continental breakfast was as sparse as they come. This hotel would not be anybody's first choice.

What stands out most about this comfortable place to rest is the attention of the staff. The lady who works there offers the best service and is very receptive and attentive, and this is one of the things that is sometimes more important than everything else.

The room had dog food on the floor by the bed and by the fridge and the floor was dirty and all the corners were filthy gross. The Tv wouldn't turn on and was damaged with multiple large cracks on 2 different sides. When i checked in there was no staff just a kiosks with a person on the screen working remotely. They took the seperate $100 deposit via a credit card machine sitting on the desk next to the kiosks. Never recived a receipt for the deposit only a piece of paper with the room number wifi info and their charges for smoking or undeclared pets.

I had a fantastic stay at the University Inn of Carbondale! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome and went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable experience. The room was spotless, beautifully designed, and had everything I needed. The location was perfect, and the breakfast buffet? Delicious.

Well, should have read other reviews before going to this place that felt like I was in “The Shining”. Sadly, our place was non-refundable and we decided to stick it out. Ran out as we could after our night. The club nearby makes the parking lot into a block party and there are definitely squatters at the abandoned building behind this place.
