The Union Club Hotel at Purdue University, Autograph Collection

Our grandson will be starting his senior year at Purdue in August and, out of the numerous visits we have made over the last three years, we had not yet had the pleasure of staying at the Union Club Hotel. My husband and I absolutely loved it. It is a true gem. It is beautiful and charming, exceptionally clean, and the staff are all very friendly and welcoming. And, of course, being right on campus makes this super convenient. While here you must try the 8Eleven Modern Bistro inside the hotel. It was fabulous.

Very nice hotel in a perfect area of the beautiful Purdue conference. Rooms are nice, decor is cool. Dining options are solid. Only drawback is the staff all seems very new and young/inexperienced (college kids?), so there is a lack of attention to detail and lack of knowledge of the property. But the hotel itself is great.

Very nice hotel right on the Purdue campus. It has easy access to the entire campus, sporting venues, stores, restaurants. It's also very convenient for campus tours. Most of the employees are Purdue students. Room would get 5 stars except for one feature. It seems a shorter mattress was put on the pedestal. The pedestal is black and sticks out past the mattress. Out is difficult to see and it's easy to bang your leg into the corners.

Beautiful place. Room was full of little details, reading light on the headboard, drawers under the bed, little fridge. The bathroom had a great shower and little extras that added a great touch! The staff was incredibly helpful and nice. Really great atmosphere. Walking distance to everything. Definitely recommend.

Not particularly impressed. Maybe the bar was set too high, but I was told by colleagues that the UCH is the "best hotel in town." Front desk service was friendly enough. Room walls were really thin though, I could hear conversation, TV, and bathroom usage of my neighbors. Decor is cute but cheap. The bed is weird - it's one of those IKEA underbed storage beds. Why? Who uses the underbed storage cabinets? It leads to this awkward lip that juts out from beyond the end of the bed, leading you to kick it with your shins as you walk by or bump into it as you get off the bed. Seems unnecessary and rather dangerous for children. Dresser was filled to the brim with hangers - making it very hard to actually hang anything. (I did love the chair in the room though - very comfortable!) My room was the furthest possible from the elevator, leading to a long walk every time to/from my room, and the view is just trees. Also, the attached "bakery" had minimal selection (some generic croissants and muffins) and the restaurant's breakfast selection is pretty uninspired. Price wasn't an issue during my visit since I was being covered by the university but I still opted to walk to a nearby breakfast place after checking out the menu. I'm not sure why other reviewers call this a "luxury hotel" but it barely passes as a standard one. If I were booking myself, I would've booked a cheaper place close by.

If you can book this hotel for graduation, do it. It is very pricey but worth it to stay on campus and get all the little treats. We have stayed here multiple times in the past 4 years on visits with our son and always loved this historic and quirky hotel. There is just something about it.

Exceptional Service at the Union Club Hotel at Purdue! I cannot say enough about the incredible desk staff at the Union Club Hotel at Purdue University. They went above and beyond to help an out of state Mom honor our daughter—an assistant coach for the visiting Huskers Women’s Basketball team—on her 29th birthday. From arranging her birthday cakes and setting up flowers to ensuring the team had plates to celebrate with her, their willingness to assist at every turn was outstanding. Their hospitality and thoughtfulness exemplify first-class service, and I am so grateful for their efforts in making this a memorable occasion. A heartfelt thank you to the entire Union Club team—I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Purdue!

Excellent hotel with regard to service, hospitality & comfort. Finding rooms can be a little difficult. Reception and doormen were most helpful. Food in the dining room, though pricey is excellent. Had brunch and the quality and service was 1st class.
