great location, great staff, but might have mold?

The staff was really friendly and helpful. You can't beat the location: in the heart of downtown, right next to the Peabody, just 3 blocks from Beale street. The only issue was there was no ventilation in the bathroom so it would get really hot, and our sinuses got congested during our stay so we wonder if there was a mold issue.

Nice Hotel with friendy staff. Only a couple blocks from Beale Street nightlife. It was nice having TGI Fridays in the hotel if you need something to eat at any time.

Friendly Staff!

Great location in Downtown Memphis. The staff was very friendly in answering all of our questions, and even printed us off directions! Will be staying here next time I visit Memphis!

Nice but VERY noisy.

Hotel was clean, staff was efficient, our room was not ready (2 queens) told to come back in an hour, went to eat and back in 2 hrs and we got a WC room with one queen bed, which was alright but no tub and shower stall was rather grungy and the room smelled mildewy damp, so much so it kept waking me up. The TV remote was very unresponsive, even when we called maintenance to look at it, they said it was fine, okay if you like to stay 2 feet from the screen to change channels or alter sound. Being some kind of wild Friday in Memphis the noise was unbelievable from the street with the revved up cars but worse than that was the noise from the lobby. Street noise was not as bad Saturday night. There were at least 50 or so students sitting and chatting and laughing in the lobby at 11:00 pm, they actually weren't that loud but with the hotel configuration of the rooms all around a big lobby the resultant noise in the rooms was horrendous - many of us were poking our heads out wondering what was going on. The pity was these students weren't even guests of the hotel. Would recommend this hotel if you're a night owl and sleep soundly, otherwise give it a pass. Plus points were clean, courteous staff, conveniently located to Beale street, great cookies!

Watch drivers before crossing streets, pedestrians definitely DO NOT have the right of way in this city.

Mediocre

The room is small, but comfy. The location is great, but it is very loud. If you are looking for a quiet place to stay, I would suggest staying elsewhere.

Great Stay

We stayed at the Doubletree to be close to everything to do in Memphis. It was a block from Beale and the service was amazing.

I wish they had a nice restaturant managed by the hotel, not from an outside party. Also there is no shopping around the hotel.

Fantastic Family Rreunion

Our Family Reunion Banquet was on Friday (day one)and our Family Picnic was on Saturday (day two). Later Saturday they took the kids skating and some of the Adults bowled at Funland. Overall it was a very entertaining and enjoyable trip. I am looking forward to the next one scheduled for 2013 in Myrtle Beach, SC. Thanks for everything!
