"Good Hotel & Shuttle to Medical Clinic"
Overall Score4.0/ 5
We had a good stay. Room was comfortable and clean. Night person on duty was very nice and helpful. I choose to stay at University Inn because of convenience and the shuttle runs longer than other hotels. I enjoy the ride and the driver is always a joy to talk with. The hotel is convenient to the medical clinic and makes the visit easier to navigate.
