Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This hotel is in need of some updates but I’m hopeful they are working on it. During our stay, the coffee makers were broken, the elevator had a panel needing fixed, cameras were literally taped up. However, I also noticed they took the elevator panel down to fix while we were there, workers on a lift changing lights outside, and staff maintaining the landscaping… so perhaps they are working towards improvements. We also counted on the team and they were able to provide a last minute comb and 2 bandaids to aid in some blisters (hello new shoes) The staff we encountered were very friendly.. every single one.. from the housekeepers, porters/housemen, breakfast attendants, front desk, and the AGM I came to find out. Nathalie and Semra both went out of their way to offer some great suggestions on places to visit for the day! Both showed great kindness and true hospitality! I also saw a sweet note in the room that Sonia was our housekeeper, nice touch! Overall, I would likely choose this hotel again when traveling to the area. The staff were great and I’m hopeful they continue to make improvements.

Hotel's Favourite
It had been a long day of traveling and it was a JOY to check in at the Holiday Inn. Barnabas and Liz at the front desk were welcoming and helpful in directing us to the car rental return, the Sky Train, and the convenient van that picked us up. They also gave us some good dinner recommendations. The room was clean and comfortable and the complimentary breakfast had plenty of tasty options. Thank you Holiday Inn!

Had a wonderful overnight stay. Ken, our shuttle driver was great. The desk staff was friendly. Veonce handled an unbelievable amount of breakfast traffic with patience, efficiency, and a smile. It was standing room only in the breakfast room, I've never seen it like that. Kudos to her! The room was clean and comfortable. My one complaint is the fragrance in the lobby. Fragrance is unnecessary and gives me migraine headaches. I wish hotel chains would quit doing this.

The service and food was great. Very nice rooms. Brandon at the front desk was amazing. Definitely would recommend for future stays. The rooms were very clean. The beds were super comfy. And the shower pressure was absolutely amazing. I wouldn’t change a thing.

Me and my husband went to the Valentine concert in Phoenix, AZ at the Footprint Center we decided to stay overnight in Phoenix. After reviewing so many hotels online we chose the Holiday Inn Express & Suites on University. It was the best decision we made our experience from the moment we booked til the time we checked out. Speaking with Nathalie on the phone with her very pleasant voice and willing to help us book our room made my decision even easier to stay. Our room was very nice and enjoyed our breakfast ( a real breakfast) was delicious. Staff was very helpful and the hospitality women’s was very helpful when I needed extra towels. Thank you all for making our experience with you all for the first time great. We will be back to stay again. We definitely would recommend anyone to stay you will not be disappointed.

The staff was very friendly. Check in was fast and easy. I asked for a quiet room and got it. Comfortable beds and mostly clean room. Breakfast was better than average for a chain hotel. Common areas were clean. Great place to stay close to airport. Thank you!

We used this hotel for 2 nights while in town for the Fiesta Bowl. Great price and location. Breakfast was included and had many hot items along with normal breakfast cereals and danishes. Beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean!! Parking was free but keep in mind it is shared with the hotel next door so you can park anywhere!! Check in guys were nice and fast!! Good place to stay!!

I read a recent review that said there was no service in the rooms and the breakfast was horrible. They must not have actually stayed here. The rooms are updated and clean. My room was promptly serviced. The breakfast? Clean, varied , delicious. Outstanding stay all around. My only complaint is that I don’t have a few more days to stay. Oh.. plenty of parking and you’re ten minutes from downtown. Do not hesitate to book

Never again will I stay at a Holiday Inn. No house keeping service & the free breakfast is the worst. I came back from having an event for my daughter's graduation from Grand Canyon University and the room is like we left it, no house keeping was done.
