  • Cheap.
  • Just about everything.

“University Plaza is a shady, aged, run-down facility. I asked for a smoking room but was given a non-smoking room. The cable TV in the room was crappy and most of the channels had static and hissing. The only Internet access is the wireless in the lobby. ”

  • Good Location. Front desk staff very helpful.
  • Room was a bit run-down.

“One star, so don't expect too much. Could use updating, but then wouldn't be as inexpensive. Close to downtown, campus and football/basketball stadiums.”

  • The room was very clean.
  • Bathtub was clean but the refinishing material was badly flaking off.

“This is somewhere that you can stay that will provide a clean room with ample space. I would not have a problem recommending this hotel to my family or friends.”

  • Heated indoor pool.
  • It wasn't that clean.

“The location leaves a lot to be desired. The staff needs to pay more attention to the way the rooms are kept clean. There were cobwebs in almost every corner and there was mold on the shower tile. This used to be a Ramada Inn and since it was taken over by the new owners it has really gone downhill.”

  • The staff was very friendly.
  • The carpet was filthy, there were stains on the ceiling--overall, the hotel looked extremely run down.

“The staff of the hotel was nice and the entrance lobby looked OK, but the interior of the rooms was really dirty--there were stains on carpet, ceiling, etc. Although the beds were comfortable, everything looked dismal. The location is not great, but it is very convenient for getting around.”

“Hotel was conveniently located and clean but badly in need of some updating. Bathroom left a lot to be desired. It was clean but walls peeling in places.”

  • The pool itself looked nice, although I didn't use it. The beds were okay.
  • I don't like to be picky but, the room smelled like chlorine, I saw a roach in the pool area.

“The room smelled like chlorine, the pool itself looked nice, I didn't use it however. The hotel looked like it was a nice place a couple decades ago. It's okay, if you get a room for a really good price, but this is no dream place.”

  • Nothing
  • Cleanliness (smoke), general maintenance was lacking - at best a 1 star

“This hotel was a miserable place. I spent another day in town and moved over to the Motel 6 - cheaper and a nicer room.”

  • It was close to where our event was and easy to find.
  • It was run down, not very clean, the elevator was out and we were on the third floor.

“When we arrived we were greeted very nicly, went to our room and found it just fine. our room was clean but beet up. The carpet was a bit dirty. We left for diner and when we returned found that the elevator was not working right. another guest told us not to use the elevator,the next morning we found a sign OUT OF ORDER. so when we checked out we had to cart our stuff down theree flights of stairs. ”

  • location and price
  • generally shabby

“The hotel is close to IU and serves a niche as a low price facility. One of those places that you arrive after sundown and leave before it comes up.”

  • Indoor pool
  • Filthy rooms, rude front desk, restaurant closed before stated time, cold showers no hot water.

“They list refrig & microwave for all rooms, but this is not true. You have to request this and it is additional $10.00 per night. They list wake up call available, but this was not true either. There was hair all over bathroom door and a hair in coffee pot. The restaurant is to be open until 9:00 PM, but on arrival on a Friday night at 8:30 PM the restaurant had closed so had to order delivery. The first morning at hotel we had to take cold showers due to no hot water. A child threw up in the pool area and it was not cleaned up by the time the pool was closing so towels were over it the whole time we were at the pool (1-2 hours). Sauna did not work. Front desk was rude and only had sarcastic remarks when questioned about problems. The only thing this hotel has that is nice is their very large indoor pool.”
