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.

The neighborhood is very sketchy. The only staff was a guy on a kiosk. He wanted me to pay although I had already payed through Expedia. I slept in my car that night and found another place the following night. Expedia refunded the money to me, so no complaints there.

You Get What You Pay For

The price here was hard to beat. For that you get a functional room and not a lot more. One great thing was that it was not crowded. The check-in kiosk feels rather impersonal. Breakfast is minimal. I'd stay here again if travelling alone - and the price remains the same.

Filthy , Nasty , Disgusting , and So So Terrible! Rude Staff . No Customer Service. No One Was Ever At The Front Desk. No Cleanliness At All. The Most Filthiest Hotel I Have EVER Experienced! The HEAVY Smoke Smell, The Dead Bugs On The Floors & The Walls! There Were Fingernails, Toenails, Hair, and Other Things On The Bed, The Floors, The Darn Bathroom Was So Filthy! The Tub, Toilet, And Vanity Was So Filthy. I Couldn't Sleep In This Hole. The Screen Was Missing From The Window. The Air Conditioner Was Filthy As Well As 1/2 Way Broken! So Much Noise From It And The Neighbors Together Was Crazy! No Clean Blankets! I KNOW They Did Not Change The Sheets! Poop Was Present On The Toilet! The Staff On The Computer Were So Bad & Rude! Negative 1,000 / 10 Would NOT RECOMMEND!

This was the scariest hotel I have ever stayed at. Dead bolt on the door did not work. So we had to put things in front of the door to block it while we slept. Doors slamming at all hour and absolutely no staff on site to turn to.
