What stands out most about this comfortable place to rest is the attention of the staff. The lady who works there offers the best service and is very receptive and attentive, and this is one of the things that is sometimes more important than everything else.

I had a fantastic stay at the University Inn of Carbondale! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome and went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable experience. The room was spotless, beautifully designed, and had everything I needed. The location was perfect, and the breakfast buffet? Delicious.

Well, should have read other reviews before going to this place that felt like I was in “The Shining”. Sadly, our place was non-refundable and we decided to stick it out. Ran out as we could after our night. The club nearby makes the parking lot into a block party and there are definitely squatters at the abandoned building behind this place.

The neighborhood is very sketchy. The only staff was a guy on a kiosk. He wanted me to pay although I had already payed through Expedia. I slept in my car that night and found another place the following night. Expedia refunded the money to me, so no complaints there.

The price here remains a great value. The rest still needs work, but i do think they are trying. The individuals operating the check-in kiosk, for example, seemed more friendly than last time. The area behind the hotel (my room faced that direction), however, needs a major clean-up. I will continue to patronize the place given the value/effort

The price here was hard to beat. For that you get a functional room and not a lot more. One great thing was that it was not crowded. The check-in kiosk feels rather impersonal. Breakfast is minimal. I'd stay here again if travelling alone - and the price remains the same.

The good: One of the cheaper hotels in Carbondale; convenient to both SIU and Shawnee National Forest; kiosk staff were friendly and helped where they could; breakfast was 6:30-9:30, a decent window so most people should be able to grab something. The bad: They use remote kiosks at the front desk instead of in person. Since they're remote, if there's a problem with your room, the most they can do is pass the issue to management. Rarely saw anybody behind the front desk in person while I was there. My bathroom lightbulb needed changing and I had to ask twice to get it changed. On the second to last day of my stay, my toilet developed an issue where it wouldn't flush and would leak water on the floor. Told the front desk about it but the issue wasn't corrected before I left, had to use lobby bathroom instead. The soaps they give you are tiny and fragile. The soap in the lobby bathroom is basically a pump bottle of water. While I never had the breakfast, from what I could see it was pretty much toast, bagels, cereal, milk, and sunny D for orange juice. No sausage or eggs or anything like that. I could hear thumping music in the lobby, likely from the bar next door. Lobby chairs are a bit run down.

Filthy , Nasty , Disgusting , and So So Terrible! Rude Staff . No Customer Service. No One Was Ever At The Front Desk. No Cleanliness At All. The Most Filthiest Hotel I Have EVER Experienced! The HEAVY Smoke Smell, The Dead Bugs On The Floors & The Walls! There Were Fingernails, Toenails, Hair, and Other Things On The Bed, The Floors, The Darn Bathroom Was So Filthy! The Tub, Toilet, And Vanity Was So Filthy. I Couldn't Sleep In This Hole. The Screen Was Missing From The Window. The Air Conditioner Was Filthy As Well As 1/2 Way Broken! So Much Noise From It And The Neighbors Together Was Crazy! No Clean Blankets! I KNOW They Did Not Change The Sheets! Poop Was Present On The Toilet! The Staff On The Computer Were So Bad & Rude! Negative 1,000 / 10 Would NOT RECOMMEND!

This was the scariest hotel I have ever stayed at. Dead bolt on the door did not work. So we had to put things in front of the door to block it while we slept. Doors slamming at all hour and absolutely no staff on site to turn to.
