The Holiday Inn at the University is a very nice hotel with spacious rooms suites. The rooms are all suite-style - a small living area up front, with a wet bar and sofa, with a connected bedroom/bathroom area in the back. The rooms are nicely appointed, and the entire hotel was very clean and fresh. Our bathtub was clogged and very slow to drain, and we received immediate assistance when I informed the front desk.
The restaurant was okay, mostly buffet style dining, and the decor was out of sorts with the rest of the hotel. Food was good, service was very good, and overall not a bad place to eat. We didn't try the breakfast, only dinner. The bar was not open during the week, and when it was open it closed very early - almost like an afterthought at times. The restaurant and bar are my only reason for not giving this a 5 star rating.
The hotel is part of the University of Memphis, and is used as a "teaching" hotel, so I thought that was a neat concept. The staff were all very, very nice, and I would definitely stay there again.
