There was no garbage can in our room. No elevators to 2nd floor. They changed the key Codes on your everyday @ 11AM, even if you had a 2 day stay. No towel bars in the bathroom. Not enough electrical outlets in the room. Unable to plug light on desk. Not enough light in the room

Spartan accommodations
I stayed here a year ago while they were under construction. This year it seems like most of the construction is complete. My room reeked of cigarette smoke and the window was left open to air it out. I didn't;t request a room change because the hotel was supposed to be full. Basic accommodations and no extra accessible outlets for my phone to charge especially near the night stand. No hair dryer in the room to use in the morning. Breakfast area was closed by 8:45am on Saturday.

Location is good, easy to find. Rooms are basic, don't expect much for price. Check in was a mess, be sure to have confirmation information and maybe call ahead to make sure they actually have a room. You have to reactivate room keys each day if you stay multiple days. Mold in the bathrooms, but otherwise seemed clean. Breakfast is slim pickings of cold cereal or a bagel. No hair dryer in room, some had a microwave, mine had a small fridge only. Beds are ok.

Work In Progress (No Hot Breakfast)
By far, this was the most affordable hotel for our weekend in Carbondale, IL, at roughly 2/3 the price of the next cheapest. University Inn was refurbished from (we think Ramada) a shuttered hotel, and it is a work in progress. The completed areas are spotlessly clean, probably one of the cleanest places I've stayed. Beds were very comfortable. However, being a work in progress there are issues. First, the rooms look to have been furnished from resale warehouses, the places where hotels & schools et al will unload all their old items (televisions, chairs, etc) when upgrading. This is fine, but rather than enough outlets, or a power strip, there was a mess of extension cords powering everything. Our television didn't work because it had no remotes, and when we asked they gave us one for the TV, but not for the Dish so it was still useless. Sink had hot water, but not the shower. Perhaps however the most frustrating thing was the offered free "hot breakfast", which we had factored into the cost of our trip. We expected eggs, breakfast meats, biscuits & gravy, the kinds of items pulled from a freezer, heated, and put in a warming dish. What we got barely qualified as a "continental" breakfast. Bagels, and peanut butter, but no cream cheese or jelly; packets of oatmeal with barely hot water, and pop-tarts. Not even fruit. At 8am the first day, though it ran till 9 we assumed we were too late. But at 6am the next, no hot food, not even advertised microwave sandwiches.
