    Most of what you will see in Room 324 & 326.

    Hampton Poplar From Staff walk-ins, broken appliances, and incompetent employees. This hotel has it all. Service: Don't arrive early. They will tell you they can't provide early check-in if it was fully booked the evening prior and rooms won't be clean until 3pm. Yet, at 3pm, magically at least four rooms became clean and ready for check-in. See what I mean? Why not just say it's your policy or that we won't even look into it until 3pm. Where's the customer service? They did let me sit in the lobby for four hours to wait on their service. When 3pm came, the clerk assisted one family to a room while a line started at the counter. Then she walked to the back and disappeared for another 10 minutes without first saying anything like "I will be right back" or "one sec" at least to show you are a human in society and you have some common sense. If there is any chance you might want to casually watch television during your stay here, then I highly recommend checking the room first. Many reviews suggest this is an on going issue and management is aware yet choose to not fix the issue. Rooms 324 & 326 will never have a working television in my opinion. The staff and general manager are aware, although they will say they aren't. Then they will give you their suggestions on how to fix the issue they have "no knowledge" of. They may even tell you they are calling maintenance to come. He will not come. You may ask the manager about the results, they win't know. By day three without television you might track down maintenance yourself like I did. He may tell you he is aware and did not go to your room like he did me. He may look up at the sky and say there aren't any clouds out so it should work now. It won't and you better demand another room because the shenanigans will only continue. Broken towel rack. Mini fridge in 324 did not have a "working" low setting on mini fridge. See photo of exploded soda cans. Yes, I cleaned it only because I didn't trust the hotel to not try to charge me. This hotel makes you ask for the Do Not Disturb door hanger at the desk. Even if you display it. A well dressed male may still give your door a quick tap on the door and then barge in. No, he will not wait on you to open the door. He will tell you he wasn't aware someone was staying in the room. He will not apologize. He will even ask for you to come down to lobby to sort out their incompetence. Just ignore him. He'll figure it out. There are Asian Lady Beetles in the rooms here. I've seen three rooms just during my week's stay and have seen them with my own eyes. Hope someone who cares about any future guests does something about this place. It's a Motel 8 at best, disguised as a Hilton brand hotel.

    Check out receipt showing $75 PER PET fee we were charged for our one night stay!

    Beware of pet fee scam!! This is not advertised on the Hilton app/website anywhere but they charge $75 PER PET instead of the normal/expected and advertised $75 per stay fee. The hotel was warm throughout and took all evening to get the room to a decent air conditioned temperature. The rooms are very small and have no closet, just hanging space on the far wall.

    Check-in was easy and fast by friendly and informative staff. There were complimentary cookies in the lobby on the Friday evening when we checked-in. The check-in staffers were very efficient, friendly and accommodating. While the lobby was small, the space was used very efficiently with the smart placement of furniture. The non-smoking room with a King-sized bed was nicely furnished and decorated. The entryway was a bit tight because our room had a door that connected it to the next room. Because of that door, the closet was on the other side of the room next to a desk work area. While this seemed sort of strange to place the closet on the other side of the room from the door, the placement worked with the design of the room. There was a full-length mirror also on that side of the room with the closet. This made the area a natural dressing area because the closet and mirror were placed conveniently close to one another. The bathroom was reasonably-sized and nicely updated with clean lines and light colors. The bed mattress was firm, the bedding was clean (by clean, I mean no visible spots or stains were on it) and the pillows were plentiful and soft. I had a very comfortable sleep, as usual when I stay at a Hampton Inn. Likewise, with the lobby, the small breakfast area made good use of the space. All the typical hot and cold things that Hampton offers were available. One remarkable standout was the eggs. They were REAL with added cheddar cheese and they tasted scrumptious. Actually, they were the best eggs I've ever tasted from a hotel free breakfast. Overall, the stay and experience at this Hampton was very satisfying. I will stay here again on a visit to Memphis.

    This location is not safe!! my car was one of 8 broken into over night. According to Memphis police, 4 cars parked in the exact same location were broken into the night before. The hotel did not feel it was necessary to warn guests. They did have an overnight security guard but he was in the lobby, even when the car alarms started going off. Staff was helpful with cleanup after the fact, but I was still out the cost of my room and the cost of replacing a car window. Hilton would do nothing to help and keeps closing the case without communicating with me.

    I stayed here on business travel - the location was close to my office location and I typically try to stay within the Hilton family of hotels. We checked in a little past 9PM and didn't have the best customer service experience with the front desk. She was rushed and aggressive though we had already check-in via the mobile app and had our digital room keys. She then realized she didn't even need to speak to us. The hallway and flooring going up to the elevators (located in the back of the building) were quite dirty. My room was small and had some recent renovations which are nice. It was clean but it was odd that there was no closet in the hotel room. It was all I needed to stay in the room for about 10 hours. The one thing to definitely be aware of is BRING EARPLUGS because this hotel is near a railroad. Even with the air conditioner on and my white noise app playing, it could still hear the train blaring. I would return here again due to the proximity to my office, but if you're looking for a large relaxing room to a look at a different property.

    Probably the smallest room at a Hampton that I have ever stayed in. I'm glad I am an early riser the train must really be an inconvenience for those that like to sleep past 3:30 AM. I found the constant train traffic to be annoying, especially with them blowing the whistle throughout the night. The room itself is very small and cramped for more than one person. The staff was friendly.

Like most people, I came specifically to see the famous Peabody Ducks make their grand entrance, and BABY, it did not disappoint! The lobby is absolutely regal, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. I grabbed a seat, ordered a French 75 (which was REALLY good), and waited for the main event. Now, I knew the ducks were a big deal, but I wasn't expecting ALL the pomp and circumstance. LOL. The Duckmaster was fantastic! Personable, well-spoken, and entertaining. Even his explanation of the house rules was enjoyable, and surprisingly, everyone followed them! And then came the ducks! SO CUTE! I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. If you're visiting Memphis, this is an absolute MUST-SEE! Between the beautiful hotel, great atmosphere, and famous ducks, it's well worth the visit. I'll definitely be back, and hopefully as an overnight guest next time!

I had seen a few 'You Tube' videos about The Peabody and was very excited to be stopping here even if it was for just 30 minutes. We were not staying here but I wanted to walk the downstairs just to get an idea of this place. It truly is a wonderful-old-oppulent place where you can just see and feel the history around you. The dim lighting along with the dark woods just send you back in time. Our purpose to come to The famous Peabody hotel were to see the ducks. We came to late to see them come into the pool and too early to se them leave but just watching them splash around and have what looked like a really good time was fun. (See photos) The layout of the lower level is beautiful and I just explored until finally making my way to the gift shop. They have a pretty extensive collection of anything Memphis and I would up walking out with an "Elvis Duck" for my collection. If you come to Memphis make sure you stop by, even if you're not staying here. It's worth it.

    Our family came to Memphis for a professional project and interview, and we chose this hotel…read morebecause we expected the Hilton name to represent professionalism, security, cleanliness, hospitality, and a comfortable place to rest. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing, particularly at night. Our concerns started at check-in. The gentleman who checked us in came across as condescending, crass, and disrespectful. His demeanor, including what we perceived after my son and I walked away from the desk, immediately made us feel unwelcome. We were among a minority of guests in the environment at that time, and the interaction was uncomfortable enough that we questioned why we were being treated that way. I cannot speak to another person's motives, but I can speak to how we were treated: we did not feel welcomed or respected. The much bigger concern, however, was what happened to the atmosphere of the hotel at night. The large lobby/bar area became extremely loud and crowded, with many people coming into the property for music and nightlife. During our stay, we encountered strong marijuana and cigar odors, extremely loud entertainment, and public sexual/intimate behavior that we found completely inappropriate for common areas of a hotel. Some of the conduct we personally encountered near the elevators was sexual enough that we were shocked it was being permitted. This was NOT an environment I would consider appropriate for children or families. There is nothing wrong with adults listening to music, dancing, having a drink, or enjoying themselves. That is not my complaint. My concern is what happens when reasonable boundaries disappear and registered hotel guests have to navigate explicit behavior, smoke, crowds, noise, and an atmosphere that feels more like an uncontrolled nightclub than a hotel. Security did not make us feel reassured. From what we observed, personnel appeared more interested in blending into the nightlife atmosphere than establishing boundaries and protecting the comfort of registered guests. That is unacceptable. A guest should be able to walk from the entrance to the elevator and from the elevator to their room without wondering what they are going to encounter. The hotel also needs to examine access control. Its location near public transportation means there can naturally be significant pedestrian traffic nearby, which makes effective hotel security even more important. Public transportation is not the problem; uncontrolled access and inadequate security are. The smell at night was also unpleasant. Marijuana/cigar smoke and other odors were strong enough to noticeably affect our experience. I want to acknowledge that we did encounter a female employee during the daytime who was much more pleasant. I believe in giving credit where it is due. Unfortunately, that positive interaction could not overcome the larger problems we experienced. We are not writing this review because we expect everyone to share our beliefs. We don't. We do, however, believe that there should still be standards of dignity, modesty, respect, self-control, and appropriate public behavior in a hotel where families and business travelers are paying to stay. There is a difference between nightlife and lawlessness. There is a difference between welcoming everyone and permitting virtually anything. There is a difference between adults having fun and forcing other paying guests to encounter sexually explicit behavior in common areas. Those distinctions matter. From our family's faith perspective, what we witnessed was deeply troubling. A society does not become more compassionate by eliminating every standard of public decency. People of every background deserve dignity and respect, and that includes families who simply want to walk through their hotel without being exposed to overtly sexual behavior, heavy smoke odors, or an intimidating nightlife environment. Hilton and this property's management need to seriously examine what is happening here after dark. Review the cameras. Review security procedures. Review who has access to the property. Review the smoke issue. Review what is occurring around the elevators. Review employee professionalism. And ask whether a mother, father, or family arriving at night would reasonably believe this is the environment they paid for when they booked a Hilton-affiliated hotel. Our experience was that the property changed dramatically after dark, and we did not feel comfortable or secure. We came to Memphis for business--not for a nightclub or adult-entertainment atmosphere. A hotel should offer travelers a place of rest, safety, hospitality, and dignity. For us, this property failed that basic responsibility. I sincerely hope management takes these concerns seriously rather than dismissing them. The property needs stronger boundaries, better security, greater professionalism, and much more consideration for the registered guests.

Able to walk to Sun Studio 0.8 mile away, Charlie Vergoss Rendezvous (but there's better food to be had than there), Peabody Hotel is a block away. One downside: Lyft drivers seemed confused about where to drop off or pick up, usually stopping on the other side of Peabody Place. The back courtyard entrance of the hotel, near the parking garage, is somewhat hidden even when I gave the Lyft drivers directions. Clean - including the top of the shower curtain railing, I checked. Housekeeping - didn't need cleaning or bedding changing, just a change of towels. The young housekeeping black man(forgot his name) was very personable and accommodating. Breakfast buffet - the two women worked hard, constantly keeping the area clean and tidy, having food out, and taking our plates away when done. Standard fare - eggs (omelet or scrambled), sausage links or patties, potatoes, do it yourself waffles, oatmeal, breads, yogurt, coffee & tea & juice. Fruit was not ripe.

The kind of space that says you're taken A genuine hospitality that feels rooted in the city itself rather than scripted by a brand manual.

To be perfectly forthcoming, a huge part of the enjoyment in staying here is the fact that I am a big Elvis Presley fan. Let's be real, you're gonna have a much better time staying here if you're already a fan. Having said that, I feel like this place is elevated enough that even a non-Elvis fan could find enough to enjoy here. Perhaps someone who actively dislikes Elvis wouldn't want to stay here, but if you have no opinion on Elvis or you're only moderately aware of him, you're probably going to love staying at the hotel. To begin with it's a very secure property. The parking lot is patrolled day and night, and there are cameras everywhere. It's well known that Graceland is in the middle of a not so good neighborhood, so it's a good idea that they are this vigilant. Literally every night they throw a party in the lobby with live music and a boisterous atmosphere in the bar. It's always upbeat music that you can tap your foot or even dance to if you're so inclined. Various restaurants are available at various price points. One of the restaurants even puts out complementary peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at 9 PM every night if you're so inclined. All of the usual southern cooking is available including barbecue, fried chicken, and other such comfort foods. The common areas are beautiful, and feature elegant furniture and lighting accoutrements. I've always felt like the lobby was something you might see in a place like Las Vegas or New York. The swimming pool is well maintained and includes various seating options with nice soft towels. I've only been out there once, but I enjoyed my time there immensely. The equipment in the gym could probably use an update, but it is functional and it gets the job done. They were smart to place it viewing the courtyard area rather than the main road. Every time I've ever stayed here I've put in a morning walk on one of the treadmills and it's always worked just fine. The rooms are elegant and make good use of muted colors. Expect to see lots of red and black in your room, along with wood grain finishing on most of the furniture. The beds are typically quite firm if that's your thing, in my case I could probably stand for them to be slightly softer but that's typically not what you find in an American hotel room. I've always enjoyed the showers in the hotel room, which feature a double head including a rainfall option. Bath products over the years have always been high-quality, and I'm pleased that they have resisted the temptation to go to the large communal bottles bolted to the wall. Overall it's a magnificent experiencing staying here, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

    I went to visit again for Labor Day for 4 days and had such an incredible time. What I love most is…read morethat people from all over the world visit here. I made two friends from the Netherlands the first night I was there and then we ended up going to Sun Studios and the Peabody yesterday. My first Netherland friends:) The hospitality at The Guesthouse is unmatched. To Miss. Mary, I can't thank you enough for your kindness. I was able to chat with Miss. Anne again and she remembered me. I also found (which I didn't my last trip) a hiking trail that leads to the chapel. It's a beautiful walk especially early in the morning. I adore you, Guesthouse At Graceland by

    Had a lovely stay here while in town. Ms. Ima at the front desk was lovely and very helpful. My…read moreroom was spacious and comfortable, I slept great. I had breakfast only one morning and it was decent (yogurt/ oatmeal station with plenty toppings, omelettes, sausage, breakfast sandwiches, cereal, etc). Walking distance to Beale street area and other historical places to see while in town.

    I spent three nights at the Residence Inn Memphis Downtown, and I must say, this property left me…read morewith mixed feelings. Let's start with my arrival, because getting INTO the hotel was an experience of its own. LOL. The lobby doors were locked, so I pressed the buzzer. No response. Thinking I might have approached the wrong entrance, I walked around to the Starbucks entrance. LOCKED TOO! Eventually, I managed to get inside. Once I made it in, things started looking up. The building has some beautiful architectural character, and both the bellhop and front desk representative were extremely personable and welcoming. Now, let's talk about my ROOM! I stayed in a loft on the sixth floor, and I absolutely LOVED the layout. The space was impressive, thoughtfully designed, and made excellent use of every square foot. Definitely one of the highlights of my stay. HOWEVER, there was one issue I simply couldn't ignore. THE SMELL! There was a persistent, unidentifiable odor throughout the sixth floor and inside my room. I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Was it mildew? Mold? Or perhaps another guest cooking up an international feast that had the entire floor smelling like their kitchen? WHO KNOWS! Whatever it was, it wasn't pleasant. I eventually got used to it, but every time I stepped off the elevator or returned to my room, there it was again. And then there's BREAKFAST. BABY, WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT! I've stayed at my fair share of Residence Inn properties, and this was easily the worst breakfast experience I've had at one. First, the breakfast area was extremely small and constantly congested. Trying to navigate the space while everyone was attempting to grab breakfast was an experience in itself. The selection was limited, and the food lacked flavor. Honestly, some of it was borderline inedible. The only saving graces were the prepackaged items and the waffles I made myself using the waffle maker. At least I could count on those! LOL. For a property carrying the Marriott name, I expected a little more, especially considering my experiences at other Residence Inn locations. Overall, I genuinely liked the property. The architecture, welcoming staff, and impressive loft were definite highlights. However, the unpleasant odor, disappointing breakfast, and difficulty accessing the building certainly took away from what could have been a much better experience. Would I stay here again? Possibly. But I'd definitely have some questions about that sixth floor before booking another room. And next time, I might just plan on getting breakfast somewhere else!
