“Great place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2011

person found this review helpful

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.

Room Tip: Rooms on the upper floors are best - the hotel does a LOT of large functions on their first and seco...

“Great place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2011

This is an excellent hotel. Perhaps a bit pricey, but not unreasonable considering it is next door to the University of Memphis. The staff was friendly and helpful and the rooms were well cleaned.

“Spacious rooms, convenient location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

All suites provide lots of room for a family. There is a pull out sofabed and a separate bedroom. Both rooms have TVs. Coffee, creamer and sugar are provided with a coffee maker, a microwave and small refrigerator in the "living" room space occupied by the sofabed and a desk. Free Wi-Fi is also provided. What's NOT provided is breakfast. Most hotels these days offer a continental breakfast. The restaurant served a breakfast buffet for $8.95 with coffee, tea or soft drink, cereal, juice, fruits, eggs, bacon, sausage, grits, potatoes, biscuits and gravy. During the week, the buffet offers made-to-order waffles and/or omlets. Overall, it's a comfortable hotel, but priced at over $100 per night, I expected breakfast to be included.

“A Genuine Suite”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 March 2011

Unlike many other "suites" this one was the real deal. You enter an area with a couch, desk, TV and fridge, and then there is a door to the bedroom. So if you're in the front of the room watching one of the many TV channel, you won't bother someone in the bedroom (where there's another TV).

Room was very clean. Used the wired Internet which was free and fast. Front desk folks all very nice. Plenty of free parking, but be sure you're in the correct lot. Free business center in the lobby with 2 PCs and 2 printers.

University is across the street, but that's it for walking distance. Need a car to go anywhere else.

Wouldn't hesitate to return.
