The breakfast was the best I've ever had at a hotel. The variety was great and so were the flavors. Everything was great but the bottled drink could have been less expensive.

The chief at breakfast was amazing! She went above and beyond. I even saw her feeding a baby while the parents ate their breakfast. I don’t know what she gets paid but she should get a raise! She was wonderful!

This was a pretty nice place, it was clean, the bathroom was in great condition. Breakfast was good. The place is set up a little funky with the elevator being in the back. The place was moderately crowded for a Thursday night.

Breakfast was good, but lacked fresh fruits. The bathroom curtains would not stay in place and had mildew. The room curtain had dirt spots that almost looked like spots where bedbugs may have been, and the walls had water marks. The floor carpet had a lot of watermarks.

The next night we were in our new room, and we noted that the floors were dirty with small pieces of trash, dirt, hair balls, and even some open body cream partially under the air conditioner. One of the bed sheets had blood spots on it--presumably from other bed bugs--and clearly was not washed. We flipped mattresses and looked everywhere with flashlights, but couldn't find any other traces of bugs in that new room, so we went to sleep the second night and then left in the morning. Staff was very nice. Not good at cleaning, but nice. Home now. Everything is being washed or burned. Feeling itchy.

This place allows pets which was bumer for the following reasons. Pee everywhere. This is not a joke. There was pee in the elevator, pee as you step out of the elevator. Mind you i have two french bulldogs so i do love pets but this was too much. Had my dogs been with me and they would have peed in the elevator or in the hallway i would have cleaned it up. I guess some people are just dirty that way. The rooms smelled bad, the toliet was running all night! I don't know if i got lucky but our bathroom door squeaked so loud. If anyone got up to go to the bathroom at night you would wake up with the noise of the door.

This rating is for the management only; not the staff present during my stay from midnight 10/23 - 4 AM 10/26 2025. The staff members were friendly and the rooms were clean. I had to move out of first room on 10/24 due to a flooded bathroom. The clerk that moved me stated that I would receive compensation for the inconvenience of having to move rooms. This did not happen. I think management should be more aware of day to day activities and maybe talk to the staff more about things that go on.

The breakfast staff member Zee was too mother hen like. Became belittling at times in her professional like sarcasm. Outside of herself, i would rate the staff to be excellent. That one extremely negative reaction ruined the overall rating. As long as she works there, i will never return and will encourage others not to stay as well.

The staff here is AMAZING! Very professional and kind. The room was SO comfortable and clean. For us this location was perfect in terms of proximity to stuff in midtown. Parking easy and certainly a pool is always a bonus. This will definitely be our go-to hotel when we come to Memphis!

This hotel was a bit pricy but it does sit right outside of downtown Memphis. Breakfast was included as was parking. This is not the case with most of the hotels in the downtown area. The bathroom was really small and was not the bathroom pictured in the listing when i booked. We booked with 4 people- 2 adults and 2 teenagers. Room only came with 2 sets of towels. We got in late and had to go back down stairs to request more towels. I understand cutting back on linen that may not be used but please offer it at check in . Beds and pillows were comfortable and room was clean.

The area around the hotel didn't feel safe. I observed what appeared to be drug dealing at a gas mart in the area. The cars traveled too fast for walking and there were limited restaurants within walking distance. The hotel itself felt safe and there were no issues with parking my car.
- 3/5
The property was pretty well maintained. My first room had no peep hole cover. The whole piece was missing(it was not fixed even at our check-out). The second room was better. However the room was not cleaned the entire stay Monday night thru Friday check out. So no fresh towels, trash thrown, or beds made. It was the room the teens stayed in so i was unaware until check out. The pool was nice being outside.

All the staff were absolutely wonderful. Very friendly. The breakfast attendant lady (I didn’t get her name) gave great recommendations on where to eat and must see things in town.

Ebony was very thorough with our check in. Explained what we needed to know. Helped with a late check out due to medical issues. I do advise the manager of her service plus the only issue with the room was the outlets were loose and couldn't get good connection to charge phones. Even the USB ports wouldn't hold cords.

If you are wanting a hotel near the many medical facilities in Memphis, this is the place. It's no frills, could use a little updating in the hallways, but once you get to your room, you'll find a clean room with the essentials. Keurig, microwave, refrigerator, and tv with many channels. We were pleased that there were multiple plugs ins both USB and110. Not a luxurious site, but very adequate. The staff at the desk and the breakfast area were great.
- 4/5
Staff was incredible. Very kind and thoughtful. Allowed for an early check in which was greatly needed due to extended travel. Changed our room to new one after we noticed the incredibly loud noise coming from the AC / Heating unit. Manager is as extremely nice and grabbed us orange juice and cleared our plates during the self serve continental breakfast. Thank you for a hospitable stay.

Ebony at the front desk was a true highlight of our stay! She went above and beyond to help us with our requests. She was helpful and extremely good natured. She asked how we were doing each time we passed by the front desk. She is a great member of the hotel staff! Pillows were too soft for my liking, and the toilet had to hold down while flushing. Good location. Easy drive to Sun Studio and parking downtown.
