University Inn Jacksonville is now a Red Roof. It is clean but the room reeked of cigarette smoke. The towels are tiny and threadbare. They are remodeling and the rooms look decent but smell so badly that it's hard to tolerate. Two male guests had their door open and we're smoking huge nasty cigars outside.

Not the Best

Pros: large parking spaces, the air conditioning worked, convenient location 
Cons: Dirty (I had to clean the room myself with disinfectant wipes before I let my family in) - the walls, doors and light switches were stained and dirty, the refrigerator was dirty and the icebox was frozen over with a few freezer pops from a previous guest, the toilet was dirty and the lid needed replacement, the curtains were in desperate need of cleaning or replacement, the pillows were either very lumpy or flat, there cigarette burns in sheets (I had to go to the front desk and follow her to the laundry to get replacement sheets and change them myself). 

I tried to find another hotel, but everything nearby was completely booked due to the races. Never again.

I’m including photos, but it only allows for 10.

Sleep somewhere else

Not bad but not really good. Convenient to everything. Internet was terrible. Beds are hard and decor is so outdated I was a little concerned about cleanliness. Needs painted because walls look dirty. Looked clean overall.  No coffee pot and cont. Breakfast closed. If we hadnt arrived so late I would have chose a different place to stay. The check in clerk was odd. There was a half used roll of toilet paper. That's just groce to me. Half of the plug ins didnt work. Good luck. Internet said 54 bucks and it was 67

If you have another choice, choose it

Found bedbugs...in room 201...not just one but several! Like we killed around 7 or 8 in less than a minute. Spoke to George at Front desk and he came to the room to inspect and he accused my family of bringing them to the room. He refused to refund our money and said he only saw one bedbug. Like one bedbug is not enough! Ewww...he also refused to contact the manager since he was already asleep. We notified the lady next door to check her bed and he threatened to call the cops and have us arrested for disturbing the peace. By the way...this sweet lady confirmed that room was already shut down several times within the last month and Orkin worked to remove the bedbugs...obviously they were unsuccessful many times! George came to the window of the car while we were sitting in the parking lot searching for another hotel and yelled at us stating we need to "leave and take care of our kids."

JSU Band Competition

I "checked in" to room 106 at around 1 this afternoon. I didnt even go into the room upon checking in, but immediately left and went to JSU for a band competition.  I returned around 11:15pm. I was in the room for 10 minutes and saw 5 roaches. . . One of them was on the bed!!!! I went straight to the office to demand a refund. The night attendant refused. He wanted to go see the bugs - during the 30 SECONDS he was in the room, of course the only one he actually saw was the one I killed before grabbing my stuff and practically RUNNING out of the room!  At that point, he told me that I could have moved that one dead bug around and tried to make it look like there was multiple ones!  REALLY?!?!? He said it was too late to call the owner because he was sleeping.  I threw my stuff in my car and left anyway.  I stopped by the store that is just across the parking lot and asked about the hotel/owner.  He said that he hears bad things about the place ALL the time! AVOID AVOID AVOID

ROACHES!!!! AVOID AT ALL COST

Visited my daughter for her birthday weekend 10/27-28, 2017.  I was a bit leery of staying here based on previous reviews, but I wanted to stay locally- so I reserved a room and decided I would make my own decision and rate them afterwards.

Check in was pleasant! Lady checking me in was polite and while check-in was old school with paperwork to fill out but it still went quickly and I had no problems. Got 2 keys, room tv remote and wifi password.

Room was on the first floor near ice & drink machines. Ample parking near my room. 

Upon entering room it smelled a bit like syrup/waffles I think it was the cleaner used- room was decorated in gold & earth tones.

Room was clean and non-smoking. Bathroom was clean, no mold/mildew and a good supply of tp, towels & small packets of soap and shampoo. I bring my own shampoo, so I didn't use their packets.

2 full sized beds that had clean linens, were comfortable with nice fluffy pillows. Also a table with 2 sturdy chairs, and good lighting throughout. 

There is also a good sized fridge that was cold upon my arrival, a microwave that I didn't use, an ironing board/iron and space to hang clothes. There is also a standard wall hair dryer that worked well. A long dresser had the flat screen tv with several channel options and HBO channels. Remote was given to you at check in with your keys and the wifi password which also worked well. 
AC/heating unit was also working well. There is not an in room coffee maker, but there is coffee in the lobby and a light breakfast, I was in a hurry so I didn't partake of either coffee or breakfast.

It's not too far from JSU, there are several fast food restaurants & sit down restaurants within 5 miles. Walmart is across the street and just a small bit down the road & the town has a local CVS & Walgreens. 

University Inn was well worth the money I spent. It was a clean, comfortable room.  I wasn't sure what I would find when I read some of the reviews on here. I had a pleasant stay, felt safe- there's a lock and a chain on the door, it was clean- Clean bathroom, linens, fresh towels. I saw no bugs or anything nasty. This is a small local hotel and for the price, the location to the college and the cleanliness it was well worth my visit and my return business. 



Clean, comfortable stay while visiting JSU!

I was put up in this place for work, I didn't choose it.  The room was terribly dated. Awful bed/pillows. Had to have been decades old mattress. The bathroom however was clean, and neat.  Continental breakfast consisted of coffee.  Horribly rude manager was placing a small box of donuts in fridge. This was at 7:30 am.  I asked if he had any food, he snapped NO! At me so I turned around and walked out. I will never return, and advise others to choose SOME PLACE ELSE!

Dated room. Rude manager.

We have stayed here several times over the past four years and for the price, you cannot get a better deal.  Our rooms have always been clean and quiet.  Yes, it's dated, but it's a great deal compared to other choices in the area.  The employees are always so nice and accommodating.  We'll be back!
