At first I thought the hotel would be so much more than it was. The lobby is sleek and the service helpful. The location was excellent; right next to Beale Street. But the rooms were a bit dirty with stains on the carpet and the bathroom had some mildew. The walls were paper thin and a bunch of kids were... More

First and foremost, the front desk staff was very kind and helpful. They got me checked in early, checked out late and arranged for airport transportation. The location is great, within walking distance from just about everything downtown and only a block away from the trolley. My room was fine with a nice view of the Peabody. The bathroom was... More

Thank you for your review of our hotel. We especially thank you for your comments regarding our front desk staff. They do work very hard to accommodate last minute/special needs like early check in, late check out and airport transportation. We will be sure to pass on your comments so they know how much they were appreciated. Looking forward to... More

We stayed here for two nights as part of a group. The reception was good with welcome juices being provided on arrival. The staff were relatively helpful. However the hotel is comparatively basic and our room at least was in need of some renovation. Of more concern was the cleanliness, where we found an empty cigarette packet (non smoking room)...

Booked online and had to pay different price upon arrival. Given 3 a.m. wakeup call by front desk that I did not ask for. Said they were going to make it up by not charging me for parking, which I was already not paying for. Then told I would be given many Priority Club points, which I never got. Was... More

We checked in after good reviews on this hotel on tripadvisor. We have stayed in Holiday Inn in many cities, but this has to be one of the worst experiences. Sure the location is great, but that's where it ends. The hotel is old and run down, rooms small and even tacky to a point, the pillows smell, bathrooms very... More

Thank you for your review of Holiday Inn Select Downtown Memphis. We are so sorry to hear you felt we were the worst Holiday Inn you have experienced. Our hotel was renovated just a few years ago and inspected semi-annually to ensure we are meeting Holiday Inn Standards. As with any downtown hotel, noise is a factor especially if you... More

Booked our room through Liberty Bowl rates. Not too many rooms available in town due to bowl game and NYE. Friends were at the Marriott but we wanted to stay closer to the action. So glad we did. Traveling with our young adult children, we knew they would stay out on Beale alot longer than we would. We were close... More

THE GOOD -- Location - Easy walk to Beale St., next door to the Rendezvous and right across from the Peabody -- Comfortable beds -- Reasonable overnight parking fee for a downtown hotel THE BAD -- Lots of panhandlers in area around the hotel. They weren’t physically threatening, but persistent and very annoying. -- Heat in room was difficult to... More

Room was clean and the price was ok. It it was really close to Beale Street. The hotel does need some paint and new carpet. You can tell its an older hotel. There was nothing really extraordinary about this hotel. More

We arrived without a booking after a long drive and they welcomed us with open arms, so we were very grateful. Parking was no problem, right inside the hotel basically. It's just a bit tired but given the numbers of visitors no wonder it's wearing out. Probably due for a renovation but location and value are excellent. An easy stroll... More

Thank you for your review of our hotel. We are centrally located in the heart of downtown Memphis, close to everything. Because of this we do host many visitors each year especially in the spring - fall and our hotel does remain very business. Our housekeeping staff does a great job keeping things clean, but yes, there is lots of... More

The location was wonderful - close to Beale Street and lots of the places we wanted to go. Price was okay. The room needed sprucing up, one of the elevators had a mind of its own and didn't take us to the correct floor. More
