Editorial Review

A block from Colorado State's campus, Best Western University Inn is the practical landing pad for student visitors, campus-bound families and budget travelers. It wears its age plainly: some rooms open directly to the parking lot, paint and carpets show their years, and paper-thin walls mean you’ll hear the building breathe. What keeps people coming is plain human care — a friendly, locally rooted desk crew who know which coffee shop to send you to and will try to solve an early-check-in headache. The hotel delivers reliable basics: an indoor heated pool, a hot tub, a small gym and a token complimentary breakfast with coffee available most hours. Expect convenience more than polish; good value if proximity to CSU matters. Skip it if boutique style and quiet are non-negotiable. Stay here for pragmatic proximity, helpful local staff and an honest night’s sleep when campus access outweighs creature comforts.
