Modern and welcoming, the Holiday Inn Memphis-University Of Memphis blends comfort with convenience in a peaceful university neighborhood. Just a short drive from Memphis’s legendary music landmarks and energetic venues, this 3-star hotel offers a laid-back place to recharge after a night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

With major music spots like the Memphis Rock 'n' Soul Museum less than 8 miles away and Memphis International Airport just a 15-minute drive, getting to and from your show is a breeze. The hotel features express check-in and check-out, so you won’t miss a beat. It’s in a quieter part of town, perfect for winding down after the encore, yet still connected by ride shares and main roads for easy late-night returns.

- Couples turning a concert into a mini getaway
- Fans who value quiet after a loud night
- Budget-conscious music lovers who want reliable comfort without splurging

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant serves up American cuisine and accommodates various dietary needs including dairy-free, halal, and kosher. While there's no full 24/7 room service, the hotel offers a snack bar, vending machines, and a shared lounge—perfect for post-show cravings. Breakfast is available, so you can fuel up even after a late night.

Nightlife Options

While there’s no on-site live music, you’re a short ride from the city’s best bars and clubs. The hotel’s neighborhood is more chill than wild, but Uber or Lyft can get you to Beale Street in under 20 minutes. Or just kick back with a drink from the snack bar in the lounge and relive the night.

Areas for Improvement

While the hotel isn’t walkable to downtown venues, it’s an easy drive or ride share away. Some guests mention the lack of a full-service bar or nightlife on-site—but that’s also what makes it a great place to rest.

Very Good - 4.0 out of 5

Terry Sun, 4 May 2025

Good location, nice sized rooms.

Liked: The property was a good fit since the conference I attended was located on one of the floors. The room itself was quite nice with a separate sitting room, sink, microwave, and refrigerator. While the main part had two beds, a nice TV, a nice desk and the bathroom, which was a decent size for one person. All the necessary lotions were provided for including shampoo and conditioner. 
Disliked: The only thing I can say is, I was a little worried about the vents, pushing out the air up near the ceiling, which is the popcorn ceiling, is full of dust and dirt from the air being pushed through the ducts. So little concerned, whether or not the ducts have been cleaned on a regular basis. I noticed that I was sneezing a lot.

We will not be back...

Liked: The air did not work in the room. It was horrible. Hair was on my sheets order food from the restaurant and it took an hour for it to be done. I talked to one of the housekeepers she had an attitude.
Disliked: We had somewhere to sleep for that night

Poor - 1.5 out of 5

See above

Liked: So run down and out dated. The door lock mechanism was loose. I thought I had it closed but someone walked right in. They have the fire alarm off. Exposed wires showing. The shower curtain was ripped leaving 1/3 not covered. Water all on the floor. Dry food all over the wall in front of kitchenette sink. Nasty

Remarkable hotel with great staff

Liked: They have rooms with two double beds and a pullout couch bed. So if you have 5 or 6 people in your family you can all be in one room. The room was large.
Disliked: Nothing
