10/10 Exceptional

Perfect place to stay in Chico !
Trisha, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Easy check in. They let my kids stay in the pool later than normal. The farmers market was going on and was within walking distance. Other guests were quiet. The man working the front desk at check in was very kind.

University Inn

Hotel room looked like it hadn’t been cleaned prior to check in, ac turned off constantly in triple digit weather and no batteries in the smoke alarm. Dog friendly though.

Not a clean place

This was by far the worst place I have reserved on Hotels.com. I reserved two rooms. We were in town for a family member near end of life. One room smelled like chemicals and was the walls had splashes of something on them. The second room, the floor were not clean - had food crumbs and dirt. The bathroom was not clean and the towel were dirty - dirt streaks on all of the,

Graduation weekend

The hotel was very busy due to it being graduation weekend, but the staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and my family felt safe.

No place like Home (or the University Inn)

Always feels like at home st at the University Inn. Good improvements have been made over the over the last several months management /owners are making sure their customers are comfortable every night, conveniently located close to everything in Chico, reasonably priced

6/10 Good

University inn

It’s not bad for staying for one night. If I had a trip for several days I would probably go elsewhere. There’s no coffee available at including in the room. There’s no ice machine but they do provide ice if you go to the office and ask for it. When checking out I did have to wait as the front person was out on their break but that was the least of my worries. The place is not bad honestly but I also wasn’t expecting much. I honestly just needed a place for the night.

4/10 Fair

Pretty run down for the price. Bathroom floor tile was dirty and could use new shower curtain. Would have stayed elsewhere but all was booked due to graduation weekend. Definitely took advantage by increasing price for a 2 star hotel.
