    bathroom issues
    amenities missing

    clean living space, well-functioning air conditioning

    Hot water issues, lack of sufficient towels and toiletries, missing advertised amenities like the coffee pot and microwave!!! The overall condition screams for serious updates or renovations, especially with the state of the bathroom fixtures and cleanliness!!!

    great location
    friendly staff
    cleanliness issues
    maintenance problems

    A mixed bag of experiences.

    The location of this hotel was fantastic—lots of nearby food and attractions. The room itself could use some updates, but it was comfortable overall. The pool was decent and great for cooling off after a long day. Friendly staff were a nice touch, but the room's cleanliness left much to be desired, with some items like the fridge not working properly.

    Decent Stay with Room for Improvement

    The Deluxe King Suite offered a comfortable space, although the décor felt dated. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise with fresh pastries. Keep your expectations in check, as some areas need attention. For a better experience, request a room away from exterior lighting issues for a restful night.

    clean rooms
    great air conditioning
    misleading photos

    I had a decent stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and the air conditioning worked beautifully, which was a plus. However, I was disappointed because the photos seemed to show a better atmosphere than what I encountered. I would stay here again for the value, but manage my expectations.

    friendly staff
    great local food
    clean enough rooms
    missing amenities
    rude front desk

    The Winchester Goose had killer drinks and a vibe that's just right for chilling. Plus, the staff at University Inn was super friendly, checking in on me during my stay—the warmth made all the difference.

    Now, about that king suite I booked—no hot tub? Seriously? And only one set of towels? Felt a bit off. I had to hound the front desk, but they were all out of answers. Still, the place had its charm.

    outdated decor

    The hotel features outdated decor that feels more like a relic than a comfortable stay. It appears maintenance has been neglected, with worn rugs and furniture showing cracks and chips. Electrical outlets in the room were poorly positioned. I had to juggle plugs around to keep everything powered up. Additionally, the bathroom had some lighting issues, making it a bit darker than I'd prefer when getting ready. I noticed some minor cleanliness lapses as well, which detracted from the overall experience.

    welcoming staff
    missing amenities

    The room that came up short

    The staff was welcoming, always checking in to ensure a pleasant stay. The location was perfect for my needs, close to everything I wanted to explore.

    However, my room was missing a hot tub, which I had specifically booked. It also lacked basic amenities like enough towels and a coffee pot.

    Just a commendable fit for a brief weekend stay in Chico with outstanding value for money. The owners are nice and really trying to make this place work despite the challenges. Be prepared for some outdated features and limited amenities.
