Breakfast menu only had basic food, like cereal, bread, and peanut butter. Not many choices.

I liked the price. The room was adequate. There were no amenities, not even a plastic drinking cup to take my pills. Bed was comfortable.
Frank, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Food options are very limited, I think this can improve. Personnel is very polite, I like this so much.
Angel, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cheap place to stay but beware….

You could tell this building used to be something else cause it is definitely aged and not in a cute charming kind of way. They have tried their best to make it look historical. I saw signs for guest laundry and fitness center but they didn’t actually exist. My room was next door to the bar that is I didn’t hear anything coming from in the bar but those walls are so thin you can hear people talking in the lobby and out side. Oh and the continental breakfast is literally toast and cereal.

Danny Rocks!

Danny was the coolest person I have met while checking in.
Zach, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Don’t stay here needs work. No front counter person you check with a web chat kiosk screen. Only one lamp and two pillow. Not enough curtains closet window had none allowing parking lot light to light up the room at night. No Wi-Fi no Catv .Room big and clean no toilet paper holder. No elevator. Wouldn’t recommend because of no staff on property.
Jason, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Dirty rooms, horrible breakfast service, poor management/supervision, just awful
Tiamara, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not my idea of clean.

Never saw a person working. Checked in with a person on a kiosks. The floors and walls were dirty, things in the room were broken, the sheets didn't fit the bed. Dry cereal and toast were all that was offered for breakfast. The parking lot had trash all.over it.
Lacie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Ronny, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terrible service had to get my own towels from the employee laundry room. Very limited breakfast options and no one working in the front desk. The worst experience I’ve ever had a hotel. I will never stay here again if I hadn’t booked this so far in advance, I would never have stayed.

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.
Jeff, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

if i could give zero stars i would. first. no one works the desk. it's an automated kiosk with people in another country checking you in. it was hard to understand what he was saying and took way longer than it should. second they gave me a room that had never been cleaned. so i had to go back to the kiosk and then a lady with a notebook told him which rooms were available and clean. third... these rooms are rough. damaged walls, doors, furniture. the bathroom door would not close at all. i would recommend sleeping in your car before staying here.

Jay, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

There was NO live staff available to service you. There were children running around and complaints about rooms being dirty with trash in them when
Chiquita, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

It is dirty. My toilet ran constantly. Even after i asked for maintenance. The wifi foe the tv didnt work until I complained. And then it was only for 1 night. There was trash all over the sidewalks and parkin lot. The service is almost nonexistent. The bed is uncomfortable. They do have a water coolee so thats something
Hazen, 4-night trip

Moldy

Not a good hotel, dirty room and mold so bad we had to check out early.
Jack, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great value for the $$

The rooms are old and outdated, needs to be renovated, Overall I would give it a 6/10, however you get what you pay for. The front desk attendant Jack was very nice and knowledgeable, the maintenance guy was very nice
LaShawn, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.
