This hotel is situated only a few blocks from Beale Street and convenient for Gracelands and the Sun studios. They serve a reasonable breakfast and the Sports Bar will provide an evening meal (albeit served by somewhat surly staff).

Stayed here for a quick overnight business trip. Arrived early and was pleasantly greeted, however there were no rooms ready, but the front desk attendant asked to see our information anyway letting us know as soon as rooms were available, he would get us checked in. After about an hour, we had to leave for a meeting, so we let... More

We stayed at tthis hotel for a couple of nights as part of our Titan ‘Southern Sights and Sounds’ escorted tour. I can’t imagine how it has managed to attract the positive comments that I have read on this page. The place was dire. It claimed that this was because of renovations being undertaken but we saw no sign of... More

Located 2 blocks from Beale Street, many signs apologising for the upgrades and improvements they are making. Initially given an occupied room, but quickly sorted out. Good bar with good food, only one server on at any time, but they were friendly and efficient. Tiny bathroom, watch out for the well dressed street walkers. Watch the duck parade at the... More

We had the Deluxe King room. Broken table. Dirt in every corner of the room and bathroom. Shower curtain rod too short so it kept falling, bruising my shoulder on one occasion. Requests for service acknowledged then never followed up. The only decent thing about this place is its location, across the street from the Peabody.

Okay overall but this place is in need of some long outstanding "TLC". The sign in our bedroom stated the hotel was being updated but we never spotted exactly where. Plumbing pipes in our room would occasionally rattle but the room itself was still comfortable although somewhat tired looking. Did not think the continental breakfast offered good value for the...

The hotel is getting a face-lift, I fully support this, however, there should be some indication of this before booking. Either in a note on the website (telling people via phone booking) or as a red-flag in the price being significantly lower than those hotels in the same location. The Holiday Inn Memphis Downtown was charging full price, competitive pricing... More

Thank you for your comments. Our renovation is in the beginning phase and we will be working on one floor at a time in order not to disrupt our guests. In regards to our parking charges, if you research I am certain that you will find our prices are competitive to the other hotels in the downtown area. More

My daughter and I stayed here over the Easter weekend. The staff was very friendly and professional. The location was great. Holly in the bar was great in her recommendation for a nice dinner. Rooms were quite, beds were comfortable, bathrooms were nice with great showers and super hot water. Will come back and stay again.
