My stay at the Holiday Inn University Place was a mixed experience. The staff were attentive, and my accommodations were satisfactory, but I dealt with some heating issues that affected my comfort. The location is convenient for accessing local attractions. Overall, it offered decent value for the price, but the lack of consistent heating was a significant drawback.

The hotel provides a solid experience with clean and comfortable rooms and a friendly atmosphere. The staff really went above and beyond during our stay, ensuring we felt welcomed. However, the gym could use some more equipment, and the walls were quite thin, which occasionally bothered my sleep. Overall, it's a nice choice with decent amenities for the price.

I had a decent stay at this hotel with a few standout highlights, including the friendly, accommodating staff and the clean rooms. However, the dining options were a bit lackluster and could definitely use improvement. The facilities were adequate, but not exceptional. Overall, it was a fair experience given the price, but not without its hiccups.

The hotel had a nice, updated appearance and the staff were welcoming, which made check-in quite smooth. However, my stay was marred by a rather unpleasant encounter with housekeeping that was quite intrusive. While the room was clean and equipped with amenities, the musty smell and dark decor made it feel a bit dreary. Overall, it was a fair experience with some room for improvement.
