It felt like a pretty cold "welcome", like I got caught sneaking in. I've never been asked for the ID of the person traveling with- again, like I was doing something wrong. Parking is odd,

Stay was great. My only suggestion is to add curtains to the rooms. There are shutters, but a decent about of light still comes through them when closed.

University Inn provided my son and I with the perfect place to stay in the heart of ASU, while visiting my daughter for Family Weekend. The room was modern, beautiful, and immaculate. The price point was very affordable. The staff were helpful and friendly. I will not hesitate to stay at University Inn again!
