The Peabody Hotel in Memphis
The Peabody Hotel was wonderful. Every thing looks and feels so clean. The ducks were great to watch. It was a two year anniversary and the location was great for walking to Beale Street. Lots of great blues music and great food. Don't miss BB King's.

Peabody overpriced
Hotel room was small, very over-priced, and the walls were paper thin. [...] Also, while there fire alarm went off and they evacuated the hotel. The ducks are cute, but not worth the cost.

The food on Beale St is excellent, so many good things to choose from. Heard a lot of people complain about the service at BB Kings, and it was slow at times. However, the food and music were great. Also, BBQ at Polly's was awesome. Gumbo at Rum Shakers (?) not soo good. Great lunch in Holiday Inn across from Peabody! Cuban Sandwich was very very good.

never again
The service revived fell far short of the price charged. I have stayed at every hotel down town. For the money most measure up. This place is just over priced.

Great Stay and Great Location
The trip was an anniversary gift to ourselves. The hotel has a great location near Beale street and plenty of great restaurants. The hotel has been well maintained with customer service being their #1 priority. The staff always greated you with southern hospitality that made you feel like a king or queen. Be careful of the service fee. If you do not want to use the health club, shoe shine and a few other amenities make sure to opt out of the service fee when you register (I would mention $ amount, but that is restricted by [...]). There is a fee for parking a car as well.

The blue plate cafe near the courthouse square had a great variety of good southern cooking. If you like a good dry rub BBQ the rendevouz is even closer.

Peabody
This was an excellent trip overall. The atmosphere in the lobby is great with the lobby bar and music. The duck march was also great. I was in town for the Lakers-Grizzlies game and it was great. I really liked that downtown area overall. I did miss In-Room Coffee and the rooms were a bit small. I would highly rate staff at the Peabody, very accomodating.

I took my own car, but was not familiar with Memphis and found the interstate system confusing. Have a GPS and study your route closely.
