Hu. Hotel
We didn’t try any facilities like workout rooms so I can’t comment on them. The building has seen better days. The hotel staff as excellent. They were respectful and courteous. The biggest problem we had was the bed. While it was comfortable, my short wife found it a challenge to get into bed.

Hyatt Centric Beale Street Memphis
The rooms were nice and clean. Beds were comfortable and staff were nice. This hotel is located in the middle of downtown and we felt safe walking around. We didn’t eat at there or have drinks because there are so many places to eat and have drinks in Beale Street and the surrounding area

Big Cypress Lodge

Room was clean but did find cookie crumbs all over the coffee machine area. We stayed in the duck cabin and it was really impressive. ...
