Verified Reviews of Comfort Inn University
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:"Honest Review"
Overall Score3.0/ 5
The non smoking room significantly smelled like smoke. There was melted chocolate all over the TV remote and also over the blue decorative bed spread on the end when I got there. Unfortunately I wasn't thrilled with the cleanliness of the room. But the stay was okay otherwise. The hotel was quiet and the breakfast was decent.

"Excellent"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
The staff was so friendly. Upon arrival after driving for 8 hours we were greeted by Noelle. Exhausted and hungry she was a true gem. Accommodating our family and our arrival was just in time for breakfast. Noelle's recommendations of sites to see after our tour at UB made our trip even that much better. Thank you Noelle and staff. If our daughter decides to attend UB we will definitely be back at the comfort inn. Tamara Takacs.
