“Convenient”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

I was very impressed with the lobby decor and front desk staff helpfulness during my recent stay. I forgot my map and did not have a GPS, so a young man at the front desk patiently took a couple of calls from me before my arrival to explain how to find the hotel. When I walked in, the lobby decor stood out for its class and warmth. I stayed in Room 204 and found the two room suite to be adequate overall, Tub surround is showing wear and living area of suite was smaller. Ben was very comfortable and room was very clean and smelled fresh.
Hotel does not provide conditioner, which was suprising considering the price per room. Business Center computers were older and still using Windows XP.

Room Tip: Two room suites are perfect for business traveler or couple. Many of the rooms have a nice overlook...

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

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.
