Negatives: 24 hour coffee in lobby is always a plus for me.
Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 18 Feb 2009 rated 9 out of 10.
The hotel was very clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. Nice to have a fridge in the room. The free breakfast buffet was measly, but filled the hole.
Positives: Convenient location to University.
Negatives: Soup bar not available on the Saturday during our stay.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 25 Aug 2008 rated 9 out of 10.
Nice for the price, we really loved the free movie rentals for our children also. Breakfast could have been a little better, but was sufficient. It was very clean and we would stay again.
Positives: Free movie rentals for our children!
Negatives: Breakfast was a little sparse.
Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 20 Aug 2008 rated 10 out of 10.
We will definitely be staying here again. It is by far the best, Best Western I have stayed in. Everything is very well-maintained.
Positives: Everything looks like new and is very clean.
Negatives: Breakfast closes too soon on weekends. It should be 10 AM instead of 9 AM.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 18 Aug 2008 rated 8 out of 10.
This hotel could be a great place to stay. The overall appearance of the room is clean however the toilet had a ring in it that had been there for some time. Therefore it made me question the cleanliness of the rest of the room. The hotel staff was very friendly. I was exhausted when I got to the hotel, it was very nice to pick out a movie that I wanted to see and relax.
Positives: I could get DVD's at the front desk.
Negatives: The toilet had a ring inside that was pretty significant.

We were just passing through however, for the price it was well worth it. Very friendly, helpful receptionist and breakfast attendant. Close to eateries (however, would not recommend the Ponderosa - good clean place, but the buffet was sub-par). I would definitely consider staying at the Best Western University Inn again. Thank you.
Positives: Friendly accommodating staff; good amenities, clean, quiet, fast check in.
Negatives: I was unable to access my internet hotmail account, but that was the only negative which I do not consider when rating the hotel.
Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 26 Jul 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

This was supposed to be a new hotel, and we didn't realize that there was a knob missing from the shower. It was fixed fairly quickly and we were offered a change of rooms.

We stopped there en route to Ohio, and we were so happy with it that we stayed there again on the way home. The room was comfortable, everything was very new. They give you a great list of amenities and other features. Free wi-fi, breakfast, dessert, long distance calls from the room, pool, a free DVD player in the room with access to free DVDs from the hotel's library. They went above and beyond the expectations, at a very reasonable price!
Positives: Amenities, amenities, amenities.
Negatives: Sorry we had to leave.
