Breakfast menu only had basic food, like cereal, bread, and peanut butter. Not many choices.

Pedro, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cheap place to stay but beware….

You could tell this building used to be something else cause it is definitely aged and not in a cute charming kind of way. They have tried their best to make it look historical. I saw signs for guest laundry and fitness center but they didn’t actually exist. My room was next door to the bar that is I didn’t hear anything coming from in the bar but those walls are so thin you can hear people talking in the lobby and out side. Oh and the continental breakfast is literally toast and cereal.
Jerry, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Don’t stay here needs work. No front counter person you check with a web chat kiosk screen. Only one lamp and two pillow. Not enough curtains closet window had none allowing parking lot light to light up the room at night. No Wi-Fi no Catv .Room big and clean no toilet paper holder. No elevator. Wouldn’t recommend because of no staff on property.
Jason, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not my idea of clean.

Never saw a person working. Checked in with a person on a kiosks. The floors and walls were dirty, things in the room were broken, the sheets didn't fit the bed. Dry cereal and toast were all that was offered for breakfast. The parking lot had trash all.over it.
Lacie, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terrible service had to get my own towels from the employee laundry room. Very limited breakfast options and no one working in the front desk. The worst experience I’ve ever had a hotel. I will never stay here again if I hadn’t booked this so far in advance, I would never have stayed.

Danny Rocks!

Danny was the coolest person I have met while checking in.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Ronny, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

if i could give zero stars i would. first. no one works the desk. it's an automated kiosk with people in another country checking you in. it was hard to understand what he was saying and took way longer than it should. second they gave me a room that had never been cleaned. so i had to go back to the kiosk and then a lady with a notebook told him which rooms were available and clean. third... these rooms are rough. damaged walls, doors, furniture. the bathroom door would not close at all. i would recommend sleeping in your car before staying here.

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.

4/10 Fair

It is dirty. My toilet ran constantly. Even after i asked for maintenance. The wifi foe the tv didnt work until I complained. And then it was only for 1 night. There was trash all over the sidewalks and parkin lot. The service is almost nonexistent. The bed is uncomfortable. They do have a water coolee so thats something

Not a good hotel, dirty room and mold so bad we had to check out early.

Bad stay....no staff

There is no staff at all. Just houseekeeping before 2pm. The interent had been out for a week no rooms t.v. worked. Nobody tolds upon checking in. It took me personally 1hr to check it due to payment not being excepted. If you have an issue, its one lady on a room on the 2nd flr who may help you. It was a terrible experience.
Madeline, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.

Great value for the $$

The rooms are old and outdated, needs to be renovated, Overall I would give it a 6/10, however you get what you pay for. The front desk attendant Jack was very nice and knowledgeable, the maintenance guy was very nice

2/10 Poor

There was no actual human staff available on site. I had to check in via a kiosk that connected me to a call center in India via Zoom. I could barely hear anything they were saying and the closed captions did not work either. The AC went out and i ended up getting a refund and cancelling my reservation. Do not stay here.
Justin, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Broken a/c, we couldn't adjust, when we asked for more pillows and blankets, we were told there was no housekeeper in staff and I saw a house keeper cleaning a room at that time. I was also told the hotel doesn't stock extra clean blanket or pillows. The parking lot light was in our window all night, illinating the room so we didn't get good sleep. We couldn't shut the curtains, they were "decorative" the smoke alarm would not stop chirping every 2 minutes. Very dissatisfied with the deposit, was not informed there would be a deposit, was was told the deposit would be refunded upon leaving, was told when I was leaving that it would be deposited in 4 days. So I was lied to on the deposite. Very unhappy I booked 2 rooms. There were no humans working to talk to and help aside from the housekeeper who "wasn't there" to help with linins. The WiFi and TV both didn't work. There was only one outlet for the entire room, we had to unplug the mini fridge to use the coffee pot. The vending machine was broken.yhe toiletries were used by previous tenets. You could tell because it was half empty in one room.
