University Hotel at Sam Houston University, Huntsville

THE STAFF WAS NICE,FRIENDLY SERVICE, THE HOTEL COULD USE A POOL/HOT TUB AND A POOL, BIGGER EXERCISE ROOM. WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE MORE SELECTIONS OF HOT FOOD ITEMS FOR BREAKFAST.AFFORDABLE FOR A PLACE TO SLEEP.

I am from Sydney Australia and I have visited the USA many times, but always in the big cities. This was my first visit to Texas and I wanted to experience a small town with southern hospitality. I stayed at the University hotel for 3 nights just before Christmas 2005 and I was 100% satisfied with the Hotel. The staff were friendy and even the General Manager was there to assist with my questions about the surrounding area. The rooms are big, they were clean and offered amazing value. Next time you are looking for a small town to experience, stay a while in Huntsville and choose the University Hotel, you wont be disappointed and by the way, only a 5 minute drive away is the best place in the USA for a burger, McKenzies on 11th street, while you wait for your burger and fries to be cooked, try the hot beans - fantastic. I will visit Texas again and I have no hestiation in making my next reservation at the *****University Hotel*****

We stayed there a number of times while my daughter was a student. These are nice size rooms and all seem to have 2 double beds with both a table with 2 chairs and a desk with chair. Other amenities are iron/board, coffee pot, alarm clock, safe, and refrigerator (but no microwave). We have had a few problems, once the TV was too dark and could not be adjusted, another time the bathtub was slow to drain and once one of 2 keys they gave us would not work in the door. There is no bathroom vent fan. On the second floor they have vending machines plus some sort of breakfast, on occasion it's been cereal, beverages, plus preprepared sandwiches and other items which can be heated in their microwave. At least once on a busy weekend they had a hot line with eggs etc. We have always been satisfied with the cleanliness. Since this hotel isn't close to highways there has never been a problem with traffic noise and many rooms on the front side have a nice view.
