We have stayed here about 5 times in the past year and a half. Overall it is a great hotel. The location is very convenient for where we need to go. The Bistro has great food! My daughter thinks the pizza is amazing!! We love the outdoor dining and grass area. It could be updated a bit but it is still a great spot. The staff is always very pleasant and very friendly with us. The only issue we have is the beds. We have stayed in the king rooms and the doubles. All of the beds seem very old. You can hear and feel the springs move in the double beds. The king beds seem to be very similar and almost saggy. Every time we leave, we leave with back pain. Really wish they would invest in some new mattresses.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Customer Service & True Hospitality! A heartfelt thank you to Rosemary, the Housekeeping Manager, and the team at University Plaza Waterfront Hotel! After checking out Sunday, I realized my wedding anniversary ring was missing. My husband contacted the hotel, and the next morning Rosemary had the room searched. Thankfully, my ring was found behind the dresser! 💍❤️ I’m sentimental, not materialistic, so having something that represents our marriage returned to me means more than words can express. Thank you for your honesty, integrity, and outstanding hospitality. We are forever grateful! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five stars from the Watsons!
We had a good stay overall. The room was very clean, quiet, and well maintained. We upgraded to a courtyard view for an additional $25 per night, and it was absolutely worth it. We also appreciated the full-size refrigerator and microwave, free convenient parking, and the fact that we could still use the restroom and get ice after checkout. The pool and jacuzzi water seemed well maintained, and neither my husband nor I experienced any skin irritation. We also enjoyed hearing the nearby jazz concert from the hotel during our stay. The main reason I did not give 5 stars was the atmosphere around the pool and recreation areas. There were dogs roaming the property, children playing softball and kickball near lounge seating, and groups of teens occupying the whirlpool without apparent adult supervision. At times, it felt more like a community recreation area or a place for parties and sleepovers than a relaxing hotel environment. We also found it inconvenient that pool towels had to be picked up from the front desk, and used towels were left around the pool area throughout the day rather than being collected more frequently. Overall, the room, amenities, cleanliness, and parking were excellent, but improved supervision and upkeep of the recreation areas would make the experience much more enjoyable."
