    Our stay started a bit shaky given that the street in front of the hotel entrance is totally block by construction. It would have been nice in all of the pre-check-in communications sent by the hotel if they sent out some warning on this situation. With the help of the valets we were able to get situated but we were lucky to have driven in from the east ($32 to valet park with tax). Once inside we were pleased to get a great upgraded corner suite on the 10th floor as Gold members. This was the best room of our 10 day trip that included 9 nights in Marriott properties. The room was not only spacious but the decor, fixtures and furniture were much nicer than most Residence Inns we have stayed at around the US. The public spaces in this old art deco renovated building were classier too and in good shape. The staff we encountered were all friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was pretty standard for RIs. The location was close to a number of attractions and "close enough" to the always loud and rowdy Beale Street. Highly recommended!

    Pet friendly. People friendly... 5 walking blocks from Beale St, 2 blocks from RiverWalk and literally on the corner of Main St. 10 walk to Arnold's BBQ! 3 min walk to Sage Restaurant. Thank me later. Just go with the VIP parking. Otherwise I don't know where on God's Earth you're going to park in downtown memphis. The parking attendants are respectful and reliable and nothing on my car was damaged. The room, bathroom and kitchen area were clean. I don't know why you would want a kitchen area in Memphis! Have you not tasted any of the food there? Do you know their home for barbecue and catfish? You must be a total vegan scared of any bit of meat product. They had a plethora of pillows so my dog could have his own.

    Smallish bedroom area but it extends to a sitting area and kitchen.

    This is a fine hotel. It's not the Peabody but you won't pay Peabody prices, either. The entire staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The room was good-sized and very quiet. There's a decent kitchen with a full-sized fridge and freezer. The location is great. It's an easy 10 minute walk to Beale Street or just about anywhere else downtown. You get a freeeeee breakfast every morning. There's Starbucks coffee, cereals, eggs, sausage, yogurt, snack bars, and even Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches. If that's not good enough, there's an actual Starbucks just inside one of the entrances. For good value, I was very pleased. No complaints at all.

    Bedroom is "upstairs" behind partial wall.

    We had a very pleasant stay at the Marriott Residence in Memphis. Reception was prompt. I was able to get directions for walking to various sites and on using the trolley. The Inn is convenient to many things: Beale St, the Civil Rights Museum both are walkable. The trolley makes it easy to get to the amazing Bass Pro Shop. Restaurants are also convenient walking distance, as is the Peabody--visit the ducks. Our room was one with an "upstairs" bedroom. Two steps up. An interesting design feature. Clean and appointed as one would expect for a Residence. Breakfast, likewise, was as expected. The breakfast seating area also opens to a Starbucks if interested. I'd willingly stay again.

    One of several hotels I like in downtown Memphis along with The Peabody and The Talbot Heirs. What I love about this Marriott is the original art deco style. The rooms are more like studios. The location is great. My favorite place to stay is on the top floor where they have two suites. There's also a nice rooftop patio to hang out on with a nice view of the river.

    Great hotel if you enjoy the ceiling falling on you in bed and the smell of mold. I stayed in three different rooms during my three-month stay on insurance, and all showed signs of water damage. Front desk attendant Ima acted as if this is commonplace, with no offer of assistance in changing rooms to a long-term guest with many belongings. Yes, there's a rooftop patio (no bar, no tv anymore) and yes, the hotel is well-located as far as downtown Memphis with some of the staff being friendlier than usual, but the hotel falls absolutely flat on value, service, and amenities. Rooms are clean enough but noisy with soft, worn mattresses (the smallest "queen" size I've ever encountered) and poor design choices. Unless you're a child, don't expect to be comfortable using the sofa beds. Closets are useless, bathroom lighting is terrible, bathroom vents are inoperable, and the showers are very narrow, even for a slim person. Breakfast is on par with that of bad public schools--everything is prepackaged, even the waffles. Perhaps if they didn't allow every city employee in off the street to partake, they might save enough money to offer a suitable breakfast for this price point. Housekeeping is good, if you can get it. The hotel operates on a 24-hour notice for housekeeping. Even when given the notice, it's iffy whether or not you'll receive it when scheduled. You're more likely to receive a written note under your door from the housekeeping manager rather than any offer of assistance. Valet (at a whopping $29/night) is inefficient to say the least. The ramping area holds about four vehicles (for a nearly 100 room hotel) and is often clogged with people parking for the Starbucks or anywhere else really--there is zero management of this area. In fact my first experience at the hotel was of a full valet area, and, finding no other option than to double park, received a gruff "you in a bad spot" from valet Elmo, who I would come to learn is the most miserable and unhelpful employee at the hotel. Later, upon receiving my car from valet plastered with a booting notice sticker and paper ticket, Elmo's only response was, "don't ask me. I just get the car." Most helpful. With the number of transient individuals hanging around the exterior of the hotel panhandling, you'd expect at the very least an outdoor valet stand to exert some measure of control and safety at the entrance of the hotel. In the end, the hotel is way overpriced at $200+/night total but if you must stay, my best recommendations as a local are to schedule housekeeping before your arrival if you're staying for a short period, enjoy any of the fantastic local restaurants within walking distance for breakfast, request upper floor rooms ending in "03" as these are the only rooms that face north (away from street noise) and have no adjacent rooms, and to find alternate parking than the hotel valet. Pro tip: valet cars are parked in the First Place garage around the corner where you can self park for cheaper. Or better yet, take your chances on the street, where parking is free north of Monroe Ave. 6pm-8am Mon.-Sat. and all day Sunday, and where there is very little enforcement anytime--a very rare expired meter ticket being a cheaper-than-valet $21.

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.

We opted to upgrade to the Club Level Rooms on the 12th floor. The 12th floor is very exclusive. There is a private lounge and dining area on this 12th floor. There is a breakfast served daily and also an appetizer/charcuterie reception daily in the Club Level. It is very much worth the upgrade. The convention spaces at this wonderful hotel are very spacious. The history of the hotel and its "Peabody Ducks" are the show stoppers. Everyday there is a "Duck Parade/March" in which the Duckmaster and retrieves the ducks at 11a from their duck sanctuary on the top floor of the hotel. He brings them down the elevator to the lobby and they march on the red carpet into the famous and ornate Peabody Fountain. Then, at 5p the Duckmaster comes to retrieve them and does another "Duck March" back to the elevator to take back up to the duck sanctuary. People travel from all over the world to witness and participate in this ceremony. They have honorary duck Masters, people who have waited years, who practice the ceremony with the Peabody Ducks and Duckmaster. Everything was so well appointed and very ornate. There is also a history of the hotel that plays on the video in each room. If you have an opportunity in your lifetime to stay at this hotel and enjoy the amenities, I highly recommend it. There is also a pool and an athletic club on the lower level. I didn't have a chance to get to that area, but that was one of my goals so I have to save that for the next time I visit. Overall, the Club level King Room, the Club Level, and everything about our stay was 5-Star. The Bell Desk has Jeffrey who was outstanding at getting our bags upstairs to our room. The hotel registration process was seamless with Diamond handling all of our details and upgrade to a Club Level Room. Diamond's customer service was EXCELLENT and she made me feel welcome and valued as a hotel guest. Charles, we assume he is the lead Concierge, at the Valet area was professional and he made things happen for all of the guests. We are so impressed.

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. Room- the *best shower water pressure* I've ever felt! A night light was in the bathroom, a considerate feature when the room lights are off.

The design is clean and considered warm tones, thoughtful finishes, the kind of contemporary aesthetic that feels curated rather than assembled. You don't walk into a lobby that's trying to impress you; you walk into one that welcomes you. There's a difference, and it matters. The rooms carry that same sensibility. Comfortable in the truest sense not merely adequate, but genuinely restful. The kind of bed you sink into and feel the day release from your shoulders. 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. Memphis has always been generous that way, and the Canopy reflects it. And then there's the catfish. I don't say this lightly: the catfish here is worth the trip on its own terms. Crisp where it should be crisp, tender where it should yield -- it carries that deep Southern confidence that reminds you food can be both humble and extraordinary at the same time. It's the kind of dish that makes you set down your fork for a moment, not because you're finished, but because you want to be present for it. For travelers who want Memphis without the chaos, who want proximity to the legend of Beale Street but a retreat that breathes, the Canopy is a quiet, well-kept secret. Boutique in the best sense.

I'm a Hilton diamond member, and anticipated an upgrade, which was not available, even though the hotel was not sold out. The restaurant and bar have an 18% auto gratuity that was not disclosed until I received my check. Have they not added the gratuity to it, I would've tipped my standard 20%. Probably the biggest issue I had was the lack of hot water. When I contacted the front desk, the agent informed me that I would need to run the shower for an average of 15 to 20 minutes for the hot water to start, which is ridiculous that they do not have a larger enough boiler to accommodate the entire hotel property. I asked to speak to the manager on duty and she told me that they were not available and that if I have further concerns, I need to take it up with the hotel general manager in the morning. No compensation was offered, and she said there's no point in moving rooms because the hot water situation will be the same regardless of the room chosen. While this property was in policy within my corporate travel guidelines, I will not be staying here again.

From the bobber chandelier in the lobby to the curated local art in the corridors, the attention to detail is incredible. It feels like a high-end boutique experience that actually respects the history of the neighborhood rather than just painting over it. The first-floor restaurant, Complicated Pilgrim, is excellent. It's a great anchor for the hotel, offering a space that feels grand yet approachable. Whether you're there for a full meal or just a drink, the vibe is spot on and perfectly complements the rest of the hotel's design. My room was large, luxurious, and checked every single box for a high-end stay. The finishes are top-tier, and the layout is well-conceptualized. The only minor nitpick was the view of the parking lot, but honestly, when the interior is this well-done, you spend more time looking at the room than out the window. You couldn't ask for a better position in Memphis. Being right in Overton Square puts you in a perfect spot for walking to a huge variety of bars, restaurants, and shops. It's the creative heart of the city, and the hotel fits right into that energy. To top it off, the staff were all great--professional, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. If you value character and competence in your hotel stays, this is the place to be in Memphis. It's a beautiful example of modern comfort meeting classic soul.
