Hilton Garden Inn Memphis Downtown Beale Street

10/10 Excellent

"Front desk evening ladies were so sweet to us!"

The Central Station Memphis, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"We booked this hotel because it was once the train station for Memphis. The staff were friendly and helpful. The bar/restaurant was good and so was the food. Our room was large and comfortable. The shower was a bit small. The bed was comfortable as well. The parking charge was a lot more than we expected. We also had water leaking from the wall and did notify the cleaning staff."
