The University Lodge is a value hotel with a well kept secret - there is one suite available on 2nd floor. Last year I booked ordinary room and upgraded to suite. Needed proximity to University when I was dropping my daughter. I was returning back to US after many years and reluctant to drive. This hotel location is fabulous with walking distance to University and downtown. You can uber to sfo airport and inside Davis. The staff is friendly and Oliver at main desk is always helpful. I returned this year to stay for 9 nights. The suite has a kitchenette and one bedroom. There is sofa and seperate bed in main hall so works well for a family from overseas like us.

This location can't be beat for Davis parents visiting their kids. The hotel is an easy walk to campus and down town. The rooms are small, but clean. Parking is free. Breakfast is basic. Staff are friendly and helpful!

There was some kind of check-in mishap and some people were let into my room (personal belongings already unpacked) while I was out. When I returned, the staff was a bit intense: ordering me back to the office and asking "why my stuff was in the room?". Had to give my ID again in order to confirm that I had indeed been checked into the room like an hour earlier. Then they just kinda sent me on my way. Honestly, I didn't feel all that comfortable the rest of the night.
Bathroom + towels were also not that clean.
