“The University Inn's proximity to Southern Illinois University makes it a practical choice, and I noticed that many rooms include both a desk and fridge. It strikes me as a straightforward option for budget-conscious travelers needing a pet-friendly stay near local attractions; I also appreciate the 24-hour front desk. While some aspects seem dated, the responsiveness in addressing guest issues does stand out.”
