    BED BUG

    VERY POORLY RAN & MAINTAINED HOTEL!!! WOULD THINK TWICE ABOUT STAYING HERE!! Go 2 exits down and get nice clean and even cheaper hotels! This was the WORST hotel stay we've ever had. We actually were only there a short time. We first found that the locks on the windows had been removed. (We were on the first floor & someone could easily just walk up to the window). When we asked if their were any other rooms to move to we were told that the hotel was booked & that it wouldn't matter cause their were no locks on any of the windows. The front desk also told us that we didn't have to worry cause they had security outside! (You mean the prison that sits in the security vehicle the whole time? They don't walk around they don't drive around they just stayed parked on the side of the hotel!) Then the worst part is that we found a bed bug crawling on top of the bed! (You couldn't see the mattress cause it was in a cover, we always check the beds when we get to hotels). We went straight to the front desk and again they said they couldn't give us our money back that they'd have to talk to the manager, so we packed up and left anyway! I still 6 weeks later haven't heard from the manager!

    The Hotel room was clean and refreshing. The staff were very friendly. Great staff and property. Only thing that was a concern was the water pressure was low. But overall our experience was Great!

    I'm not sure what the regular rooms look like, but our pet friendly room was definitely in need of repair and deep cleaning. See pictures for the bathroom vent that looks ready to fall down off the ceiling tile. The tiling by the sink is gapping, the towels have an old mildewy smell, beds were uncomfortable. I guess they think they can get away with it because they don't charge a pet fee. Btw, be warned there is one unsecured wifi network that is called Wingate by Wyndham or something like that, Super sketchy, got a lot of security warnings when I tried that one first. But this is NOT the secure wifi that they give you a password for which is called WingateGaming and sucks, can't even play YouTube videos.

    Normally I don't have the luxury of writing reviews of hotels before check out, but thanks to the 12p.m. check out time and this Wingate I have a few minutes before I have to hit the road and I was able to sleep in which is always nice. Pulling in to park here can be a little daunting, but don't let that throw you off. I was able to grab the last space and was worried about leaving belongings in the car but once you go inside, you will feel much better! The lobby area is nice and they have security cameras everywhere. The staff that checked me in were very friendly and sweet and because I travel with my dog, I always ask if there is an alternate entrance as some people don't like to see dogs in hotels. I was told it was fine to bring her through the front but that I could use a back door as well if I was more comfortable with that. Once I had my pup and all my bags from the car, I mistook a side exit door for the back entrance and was trying to figure out why my key wouldn't work but the staff must have seen me on the camera and came to open the door for me. The staff here are 5 stars all the way! The room was clean and had everything we needed but the bed was FABULOUS! We have been traveling for over 6 weeks and the bed and pillows here were so comfy that I was out like a light in no time and slept like a baby. It is the first time I have had 8 solid hours in a while and I woke up feeling super rested. I also liked the shower head with multiple spray options, the newer ac and the gaming chair I am sitting in to write this. It's little details like that which can make a simple stay into a great one. Yes, I saw a dead rat outside and they only had one chair in the room and the TV wasn't working for an hour or so and google recommended I not connect to the wifi because it wasn't secure (so I didn't) and they replaced part of the carpet with a different carpet lol but no place is perfect. Speaking of the carpet though, my white socks were black after walking on it and there was dog hair on the floor that wasn't from my dog, so I don't recommend laying naked on it or anything, but it's not a super huge deal. The bed here and the staff alone make this place worth it. They also have a free breakfast from 6-9am and I grabbed some bacon for me and the pup. Loved how crispy it was. Coffee is also available 24 hours in the lobby and they are pet friendly which is super important to me. I would definitely stay here again if I were in the area.

    This was the worst hotel stay I have ever had. I should have trusted my gut when we pulled up and saw that there was a pay by the hour hotel across the street. I didn't pick the hotel, we were there for a team event. The hotel desk was not helpful at all. There was black mold all over the bathroom. I requested that it be cleaned and it never was. We arrived very late on Friday night and I requested it be taken care of at 8:30am on Saturday. They had all day Saturday to clean the bathroom. When we arrived back to the room after 10pm, the mold was still there. There was rust and stains everywhere. The towels had holes in them. On Friday night a shirtless woman was running through the parking lot and was arrested. We were told by the front desk that "everything is fine, it happens." Friday night the tornado sirens were going off we were looking for someplace safe to go and again the front desk staff said not to worry and to just be quiet in the lobby, WHAT?!? Also on Friday night, there was no hot water and were told to just wait 15 minutes. Wait for hot water for $150 per night?!? The last straw was when they charged me 4 times for the hotel room and I was told to just wait 3-5 days to see if it refunds!!! We were there for a basketball tourney and one of the other families said they found a roach in their room. Had I seen that, I would have left immediately. I have asked for a full refund and was told too bad by Wyndham Customer service. I'm being punished for staying the second night when I gave them a chance to clean the room. It was too late when we returned on Saturday to find a new hotel. This hotel should be shut down.

    Stock photos on their website need to be updated to show current condition of the rooms. I don't agree with the "excellent" reviews. The area around the hotel is also sketchy, with barbed wire fencing. Not a comfortable stay for us.

    Moldy area on bathroom ceiling in room 325
    Bonnie B.

    Pros: Good breakfast. Good water pressure in the shower. Cons: No pool. Our room (325) smelled strange whenever the AC was on. Also, there was mold growing on the ceiling in the bathroom. Obvious signs of a leak on the floor above. Really, I'm only posting this so that if someone else gets that room and the problem isn't fixed, there's documentation on it. We did tell the night clerk, who did offer to put us in a different room, and was very apologetic. Unfortunately, there wasn't another room with 3 beds, so we just chose to stay. We did make sure that the morning clerk was aware of the problem, as well.

    How did they get this?

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.

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.

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!
