Traveler Reviews on Memphis

Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel

Dec 2, 2008
0/1 found this review helpful

Prior to booking viewed this hotel on internet and it looked ok. What a disappointment when we arrived after an international flight. Staff member who checked us in was unfriendly and the room we booked months before was not available. Standard of hotel was not in my opinion a 3 star . 2 star if I am being kind. Only... more

Artisan Hotel Memphis

Dec 2, 2008

Booked this hotel through Orbitz so it was prepaid. I chose this one because it is close to the FedEx Forum and other attractions, a good price for a hotel in the midtown area. The first time we stayed there on Nov 22-24, it wasn't what I expected but ok. The description I read from Orbitz says, it has a... more

Comfort Inn & Suites

2 of 5 stars
Berlin, Maryland
Dec 2, 2008

On our last leg of our cross- country trip, we decided to visit Graceland, which we really enjoyed. We didn't realize the area surrounding it was very commercial, almost industrial, and we should have done some research before staying in this hotel. The desk clerk couldn't be nicer. The hotel was busy (lots of truckers) and close to the highway.... more

The Westin Memphis Beale Street

4 of 5 stars
Atlanta, GA
Dec 2, 2008

We stayed at Westin during a getaway to see Graceland. The location could not have been better. It was right on Beale St. so there were plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance, as was a mall and things to do. Starbucks was right there too. It is a good thing because it was cold when we visited. I... more

Madison Hotel

Dec 2, 2008

This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. While the rooms were comfortable, the customer service was terrible! I had a unique experience....There was a teenager in the room next door and the parents of this teenager kept banging on the door at midnight. I called several times to the desk to ask for help, and never got... more

Comfort Inn Downtown

3 of 5 stars
Fort Worth, TX
Dec 1, 2008

Great location, clean, comfortable but noisy in the wee hours when we stayed over Thanksgiving weekend. 3 star hotel that attracts some 1 star guests! Staff was awesome, very nice and attentive. Be careful walking downtown at night. Trolley line runs right behind the hotel for a buck! Walk to Beale Street but cab it back to the hotel for... more

Republic Coffee

memphis, tn
Dec 1, 2008

This locally owned coffee shop has now opened a kitchen and boy is it yummy! I can't wait to go back and try their other food items but we started with the Sunday brunch. Incredible! We each had waffles, and shared a bagel sandwich with smoked salmon and cream cheese, cheese grits, and a generous portion of mixed fruit. The... more

McEwen's On Monroe

Dec 1, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

We had an eclectic mix of company for the Thanksgiving holiday (adults, children, Midwesterners, elderly) and their only request was that they take me some place downtown for dinner as a reward for my making T-Bird dinner. I was feeling adventerous and picked McEwen's. While I have lived here for many years, I have never eaten there until this weekend.... more

Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel

Roll over Mr. Presley - this hotel will break your heart. I've stayed in some interesting places in the US and abroad but nothing has been as dirty and rundown as this hotel. You have to ask yourself, " Where would the king sleep?" I would probably track down one of the friendly shuttle drivers and high tail it to... more

Owen Brennan's Restaurant

1 of 5 stars
Jackson, MS
Nov 29, 2008

We ate at Owen Brennan's Restaurant Friday night because it did not appear too busy at 7 PM, and because of the reputation of Brennan's in New Orleans. First mistake - choosing the restaurant because it was not busy on a Friday night. There were people at the bar, and only one other table was being utilized in the dining... more

Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel

Arlington Heights, IL
Nov 29, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

I found this a good, clean 3-star hotel for the property; but 5-star for the atmosphere. I was booked as a single on an Elvis trip and was assigned a King Suite. It had a king size bed and the 2 rooms were connected by a kitchenette (microwave,coffee maker, mini-frig and sink). Both the bedroom and the front room had... more

Hilton Memphis

Nov 28, 2008

I usually like Hiltons and this one was OK -- staff is nice but the property itself is a little dated. more

Slave Haven / Burkle Estate Museum

On the road...
Nov 28, 2008

Our visit to the Underground Railroad (826 N. 2nd St.; [--]) Museum in Memphis was eye opening. I had always thought “underground railroad” was a euphemistic term. (I should have known better after being nearly blinded by the glare of red neon lights in Amsterdam’s Red Light District a few years ago.) Its owner, Jacob Burkle, originally emigrated from Germany,... more

Of course, most people head to Memphis for Graceland. You’ll take an audio tour and chose between just the house (which includes the King’s grave) and various add-ons, such as his private jets and cars. We found it all a bit sad and dated, (I mean, one of the greatest icons of all time has Formica counter tops?) although I... more

Executive Inn

Nov 28, 2008

We decided to take a trip to Memphis to see some of the tourist sites (Graceland, the Civil Rights Museum, Beale Street, etc.) We were relieved to find a hotel with such low rates right off highway 55. The people at the front desk were very friendly and helped us to plan our next day. The hotel rooms were very... more

My mum and I dined at the Rendezvous Restaurant on Friday 14 November just after 12pm. We did not reserve a table yet we were seated within a minute of arriving despite the restaurant being extremely busy. Our waiter was happy to explain the menu and gave us a few minutes to decide what we wanted. We ordered the half... more

Peabody Memphis

Nov 28, 2008

When you walk into this hotel, you feel like you have walked back in time. It has a real old school feel to it, and the huge high ceilling lounge bar is the best place in the world to enjoy a mint julep, although you will get that thrillingly chilling feeling that the bartender is going to walk up to... more

Peabody Memphis

Liverpool, United Kingdom
Nov 27, 2008

My mum and I stayed at the Peabody Hotel from 13-17 Nov. It was my mum's 60th birthday just a few days before and I mentioned this on my booking with the hotel. Upon check-in my mum was greeted with a very sincere "Happy Birthday" from the female receptionist who had reserved a large corner Superior room for us with... more

Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel

4 of 5 stars
Napa, California
Nov 26, 2008

Stayed here with my wife and some firends and had a great time. If you are coming to do Graceland, it's a hard location to beat, right opposite. They have a free shuttle bus that will pick you up from the airport, you just have to call. The hotel is perhaps ageing a little, but everything worked and it was... more

This property has great wow factor right off the bat! The lobby, the lounge, and the decor just grabs you in the best way! We had a good experience in the restaurant and even made friends with the bartender! The only hiccup was some inconsistency with whether or not they offered a shuttle to the meeting location. Got a different... more
