University Inn of Stevens Point

This hotel appeared to be in the process of changing hands and renovation. You can tell it was a really nice place in the 80s, but now it’s neglected and poorly managed. Our room smelled like curry—I mean curry powder, as I have that in my cupboard and I’m familiar with the spice. When I went to set my bag on the countertop, I found it was covered in food crumbs. There were also crumbs on the coverlet. The mattresses were lumpy and sprung. The refrigerator hummed loudly whenever you opened and shut it. The microwave was also probably purchased in the 80s and had an unsafe, broken plug. The pool and hot tub were beautiful, but closed for repairs (with no known end date). We weren’t in a position to cancel and walk out, so I had to wipe the room down myself and got a cheap can of air freshener to keep the food smell down. Come on, guys. For what people pay for rooms, you need to do better.

Run down, DO NOT BOOK! Hotel was really run down. Pool was out of service and looked like it had been out of service for months? years? because the tarp covering had so much dust on it. The public men’s bathroom was not functioning and the women’s bathroom was used as a storage with no toilets in it. Hallway carpets were disgusting. Ice machine had no ice. This place is part of Ecocolodge? Has Econolodge sign outside. It needs to be demolished and rebuilt.

Warning, do not stay at this dump. Black mold in the showers ,dirty linen , stains on the floor, pool was out of order with mold and algae growing in it. I don’t hold know how the City of Stevens Point has not shut them down. We will be reporting them.

Event stay This hotel was just meh. It needed a really good cleaning. And the grounds looked run down. The staff was very friendly.

The king size room we booked online was not available. Property is in the process of being renovated as it is under new ownership. Person checking us in said “there was no king size bed available. Well there was one room but the door didn’t lock, we could have that if we didn’t mind.” Then get to the room and it was just not good. Dirty, and so far away from the front desk. And the hotel wasn’t the at full. This morning we went to take a shower and there was no hot water. AT ALL. Not like warm nothing just cold. The room seemed to have a door with an adjoining room. The door was made of some flimsy board and had a chair pushed in front of it. ?? Noisy people in halls. When we checked out this morning the young man at the front desk was pleasant and took care of us just fine. When we mentioned our experience he said we never should have been put in that part of the hotel. It is in bad repair and is and currently being used by the workers that are hired to renovate the building. We would have left right away but since we booked on line we knew we couldn’t get a refund. We knew it was under new ownership and was ok with some repair work going on and it was our choice to not do a chain hotel. Wanted to give the new up and coming owner the business. Disappointing. You should consider removing this option from your listing until they can get the place under control. Terrible experience except for the nice young man who checked us out this morning.

"Great value for money stay near Pool area, room was spacious with comfortable bed. place was clean, staff were friendly, breakfast was great, water pressure was strong and water heater worked well." It was my third visit and property is getting better in every visit.
