University Inn Chico is a small, independent, downtown budget motel that is super-clean, quiet, and comfortable, looking recently renovated. The rooms are clean, fairly big, and comfortable with decent sized fridges, though some furniture is dated. It is right downtown on Main Street, offering a great and convenient location with quick walking access to everything, including fun restaurants, bars, stores, and Chico State, providing great value for the price. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and attentive, contributing to a feeling of being safe and at home. There is no breakfast and amenities are basic, but the motel remains one of the cheapest hotels in Chico, an affordable weekly option for those not needing anything fancy. While experiences with service can vary, many guests find it a good value for a clean, comfortable stay in an excellent downtown location.
I ask to use the front restroom because the one on my room was being used by my wife and the white guy on the front desk said no i got really mad

I forgot my deposit when I checked out approx 6 months earlier. They told it would be there whenever I could return(illegal to send cash in US mail.) When I returned on my way to Shasta, they still had my deposit, applied to this stay & I left with it the next day! Thank you University Inn!!! 5☆☆☆☆☆'s!!!
