I've read a lot of these reviews as I'm staying in a lower class hotel this year only because it's an extra 10 minutes closer to where we're going but the memphis plaza hotel had its downfalls like the fact that it was being renovated when we were there but overall there wasn't really anything wrong with it at all. Although our reservations got lost somehow they immediatly got us up and into a room and helped us out whenever we had any questions. The bathroom was perfectly clean and the beds and room itself were definitely good. Kept us well rested for a week of crazy partying and drinking. It's possible we just had a good room and some people had bad rooms but the one we stayed in was definitely easily worth what we paid and I'd recommend it to everyone I could if they were looking for a solid cheap hotel.

As I read some of the reviews I questioned ...what are people expecting for $55.00...the Ritz Carlton?! I have stayed at this property approximately 4 times because of the price. My expectations were met for $55.00. It's an average stay for a below average hotel price. One of the things I look at when I first arrive are the cars in the parking lot. It gives you a slight indication on the other guests. Most of the cars were from rental car agencies which would lead you to believe business travelers. I have never had a bad experience because of noise. I have stayed at other hotels paying upwards of $200 per night and be woken by noise...ice machines, elevators, guests etc. I have always felt safe. Yes, it does need some updating and things in the rooms are outdated. But again, what are you expecting for $55.00? My room(s) have always been clean. I have never seen a bug or cock roach. If I did...I wouldn't stay there. I had a problem with the tv reception on one channel, but I wasn't in my room for very long anyway so it was no big deal. I found the front desk staff extremely pleasant. I was able to check the internet at no additional charge which is always a plus. The Cracker Barrel restaurant is right next door. I would rate this property a "C" on ammenities.

Booked this hotel on Hotwire (I will not get into my frustration with Hotwire in this review. I will just say , "BEWARE".) for a stay of one night on Feb. 16, 2008.
We arrived with a PREPAID confirmation number that evening at 7 pm and the girl at the desk told us we did not have a reservation. She did not even LOOK at my reservation number. She simply stated that there were no rooms available to rent, so it didnt matter what my reservation number was. Very dismissive and uncaring is the opinion I left with.

I flew in for a conference and the group organizer booked me into this hotel. It was a very quick stay, but the hotel evidently needs some renovation work. I normally prefer botique hotels or National Chains. This one appears to have been a Holiday Inn at some point, but no longer has a brand name.

The people who work here were great, very friendly, always asking if we needed anything, etc. It's just a little disappointing that the ownership doesn't care enough to spend a little money.

The rooms were clean but very dated. Carpet Bedspreads and furniture needs to be replaced.

Overall a pretty good stay thanks to the smiling faces I encountered.
