Memphis Airport Hotel

Rooms were par however wall paper was beginning to come loose in many places. The hall ways and restaurant areas had to be air conditioned by spot coolers. Some of our groups complained about rooms being hot. Don't recommend this place

This hotel was booked for us and paid for so first off it was free for us. BUT- prior to traveling, we read the reviews and were ready to kick in Plan B- paying out of pocket for a different place which would have been quite the challenge during Elvis Week! Positives: Upon arrival and after leaving a SUPER nice hotel in downtown Memphis, we ended up getting a decent room (huge sigh of relief). Clean room (some crumbs under the bed), clean sheets, comfortable bed, clean bathroom, hot HOT water, shower pressure was amazing, working TV all pluses and put this hotel above the Travelodge in my book. The best part was Chef Neal!!! He was AWESOME! He opened the bar for the band crew, was super friendly and funny and real. Our drinks were delicious and the conversation even better- he made the hotel better! Front desk staff ladies were all sweet too. Breakfast was decent w eggs sausage bacon make your own waffle, fruit, mini muffins, juice, water, coffee, and tea. Negatives: Renovation under way meaning pool out of service (didn’t have time to swim anyway). Had a hard time getting new towels- had to find a maid to get them (she was also sweet) but had to re use towels for days. The common area was super warm. Some of our friends had to switch rooms due to mildewy smell. (We did not) Water can be scalding so be careful! I didn’t love it… but I definitely didn’t hate it!

My dad and I stayed in this Clarion hotel for 2 nights as we were completing a motorcycle roadtrip. The hotel is terrible, in bad shape, sort of like a Walking dead set, and as you can see in the pictures, not very guest friendly: huge empty spaces, pool is closed for renovation (good idea to do that in summer when you are in the tourism business?), sad breakfast, rotten fruits, mister cockroach on the floor for the entirety of our trip (3 days, 2 nights). Will never stay there again. However, the staff was helpful and nice, and the 2nd room was clean (1st one had no cold water).
