• Location, pool surrounding hotel was nice, comfortable bed, enjoyed flat screen TV.
• Parking and found a roach in the shower, comforter had grease stains.

“Hotel had nice facilities except for a small roach in the shower, and there was a grease stain on the comforter. Parking is always a problem unless you want to pay $8.00 for valet parking, unused spaces are a distance away. We had a small problem reaching the second floor on the elevator.”

• Ample parking, good location.
• Rooms are not well insulated, noise carries from adjoining rooms and hallway.

“The overall appearance of the hotel seemed very nice. However, rooms need additional sound proofing as noises from adjoining rooms and hallways can be heard.”

• The staff was fantastic - very friendly, helpful, efficient.
• The business center could use more detailed instructions for connecting to the printer.

“I was extremely happy with the Memphis Hilton. The staff made me feel at home. The Rook's Nest restaurant had excellent and moderately priced food with an attentive and friendly staff. The fitness room was by far one of the best that I have seen in a hotel. It has treadmills, elliptical trainers and bicycles all with their own video monitor and headphone jack. Headphones were provided. My kudos to the hotel management!”

• It was beautiful, staff was wonderful.
• Not possible, I liked everything.

“This was the best hotel stay I have ever had. Everything was perfect. The staff went over and beyond the call of duty. I hit a curb as I pulled into a parking spot and tore a hole in the side of the tire. Two employees stopped and changed my tire for me. It was hot, the trunk was full of stuff, etc. They were finished in about 10 minutes but it changed a disaster into a wonderful beginning of my visit.”

• Very friendly staff and super comfortable bed in elegant room.
• Dirty carpeting in upstairs hallways.

“This is a first-class hotel with friendly staff and elegant surroundings. The rooms are elegant, and the lobby has a hip, upscale vibe. The one negative is that the carpet needs to be replaced throughout the hallways leading to the rooms. It's a stain on an otherwise unblemished canvas. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat.”

• Wonderful location - clean and friendly staff.
• Hotel indoor pool was freezing cold - could not stand to get in.

“The hotel was in the heart of Memphis with easy access to parking. The room was clean and nice. Our only complaint was we had a child who wanted to swim. The indoor pool was so cold that we couldn't get in it. Aside from that, very nice and highly recommended.”

• The rooms are spacious with great views and LCD TV's.
• Housekeeping for our room was not the best.

“I always enjoy staying at this hotel. The rooms are comfortable with great views. On this particular stay housekeeping did not come on the first day and when I brought it to their attention, they merely changed out the towels and pulled up the bed linens. Amenities (from the coffee service to the shampoo) were not replenished the two days that we were there.”

• The Lobby was fantastic, rooms were nicely decorated.
• 8.00 A day valet parking charge even on day of departs.

“I liked the hotel. However, the valet parking charge was deceptive. They have you sign a card for valet parking on entrance regardless of use. We did not use valet parking after 1st night. They charged us for valet parking even on the day of departure. They said it states that on the ticket. Fine print. They should disclose this up front. If some one helps you they expect a tip. Difficult to find entrance.”

• The location.
• They had no king sized beds so I had to settle for a double.

“I got into my room and the toilet overflowed and my shower drained extremely slowly. This combined with the non-availability of the king size bed made me hope for some sort of compensation. A complimentary breakfast would have sufficed, yet nothing was done to let me know that the hotel staff was apologetic. I'm glad the toilet got fixed but the shower never did. Was just hoping for a little more.”

• Pool and Grounds were very orderly and appealing.
• The engineering / maintenance staff needs to change the clogged air filters.

“While the room was nice, housekeeping had left a fair bit of trash on the floor, in plain sight, and trash under the dresser. The oversize pillows (3' x 3') placed on the bed for appearance could be done away with, and some regular size usable pillows for sleeping added, the "sleeping pillows" needed to be discarded, they had the consistency of a very aged, & used pillow, while being to small also, even with using the two on the bed that were provided.”

• The staff was very helpful.
• Would have liked an indoor pool.

“The room was a bit small and the bathroom smaller. But the hotel staff was very helpful, the location was central to everything we wanted to do (with a bit of driving) and it felt like a safe location which was key since I was a woman traveling alone with children. I would have liked a location that allowed us to walk to a few things, but the price and the general feel of the hotel made up for any extra driving we had to do.”

• Comfortable Beds - decent size room, nice room service lady.
• Elevators busted, pool filthy, room didn't get cleaned, noisy, ice machines busted. Room was too warm. Room unclean.

“I will never stay here again. Nice bed-otherwise it stunk. 2 out of 4 elevators broken. The pool had tons of hair and grease floating in it. The stairways were disgusting. Even after I called 2 times - still didn't get my room cleaned one day - finally got towels at midnight. Called for a porter - after 45 mins, took my own stuff down and they said they never got a call. The waitress in the hotel restaurant kept telling us how she gave us the kids breakfast for free (it was on the menu that they did!) and we could show our appreciation in her tip! There were hairs in the bathtub and watermelon seeds on the carpet when we got there. 2 of the towels had stains on them. The room was muggy even when we set it on 65 degrees. I called on several of these and just got a "we're sorry -we'll fix that" and nothing happened. Ruined our vacation! Not sure where you get your ratings - this hotel stinks.”

• Rooms were spacious and comfortable, parking lots were patrolled at all hours I felt very safe.
• No Starbucks in the hotel.

“The Hilton was a very nice hotel with a helpful and friendly staff. Safety is a primary concern when we travel, and the Hilton made us feel secure. Maid service came after 6:30 PM on one of the nights even after repeated calls. A large convention was in the hotel though. Pool area needs attention and updating. All and all a great stay.”

• Good, clean room. Excellent staff, very helpful.
• One of the restaurants was closed.

“Good rooms. Clean and comfortable. Bathroom (shower and tub are) was a little small. Sink and mirror are was nice, my wife had room to put all her stuff on the counter. Every room has a great view - the outside walls are all glass. The rooms are sort of conical shaped, so the layout is interesting, but it works. One of the restaurants (coffee bar) was not in operation. This was a disappointment when we looked for it the first morning. Other than that, the stay was excellent. Good location - easy access to Memphis and Germantown. Right next to 240 and Poplar, so you can take the freeway to downtown or the scenic route. Poplar goes right by the zoo on the way downtown, and straight through Germantown. Lots of good restaurants within 5 minutes of this hotel. Definitely recommend this hotel.”

• The decor and bedding were very nice.
• The cloth shower curtain had a mildewed smell. There were too few elevators.

“The location and staff was fantastic. It was central to everything we needed with lots of dining in the area. The hotel staff was on top of everything. The one downside was there were only four elevators for this almost 30 story hotel. If the elevators were geared to go to specific floors (i.e. 1-15 and 16-30 or even and odd) it might have gone a little smoother. Otherwise the ambience was great and we truly enjoyed our visit.”

• The beds are very comfortable and rooms had new TV's.
• They do not handle conventions well with check-in's or service.

“I stay at the Memphis Hilton for a dance convention. They have always had problems with getting everyone checked-in (4 pm check-in) before events begin at 5 pm, and we can't have late check-outs without paying extra even though our events are still going on until 4 pm. I've never met a friendly staff member except in the gift shop. They also tend to have issues with the air, as the lowest setting is 65, in which it never gets that cold.”

• Nice, comfortable rooms and bed.
• All but one member of the staff was rude, short on patients and extremely unfriendly. Top on the list was the supervisor on the front desk.

“I spoke to seven staff members of this hotel and only one of them had a smile. This was as I was checking out. There was no roll away bed for the room hen we arrived. The elevators were slow requiring use of the stairs. The stair cases looked as if none had cleaned them in a month. Extremely dirty. I would not stay at this hotel again.”

• The geese and ducks were interesting to watch.
• The rooms were small and they only had a king bed or 2 double beds, no queen size beds.

“The lobby is nice, the elevators were slow. The pool was okay, but difficult to get to. The rooms were small and only had one towel bar to hang towels on. The bathroom was tiny. The hotel only had rooms with one king bed or 2 double beds, no rooms with two queen size beds. There was no refrigerator in the room. Although we were on a non-smoking floor, the hallway and the room always smelled of smoke, or perhaps musty-ness.”

• Location and area.
• Front desk staff, room.

“Very disappointed/expected more from a Hilton hotel, check in time was 3 pm, we arrived at 6:45 pm and there were no clean rooms available (at least 6 other families experienced similar situation at the time we were). An hour later still no availability, no apologizes given (appeared as if this is the normal). When we finally were able to get into our room, I wondered if the room was really cleaned because there was much room for improvement, the bathroom had a strong smell, the shower head was falling out of the wall, the AC unit made strange noises constantly, stayed 3 nights and each night needed to request add towels/washcloths (only given 3 towels and 2 washcloths for 4 people). Wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone.”

• Food was good in the one restaurant.
• Only one restaurant, no fridge and not near any attractions.

“This hotel is not within walking distance of any of the attractions and it will cost you plenty to take a cab ride to anywhere but where your at. There is only 1 restaurant in the hotel with the beginning price starting at $12.95. I was there on business and took my 15 yrs old son along with limited expense money. We couldn't really enjoy much. Pool is only 4 feet deep at the deepest, no in room fridge and water from your room is $4.00 a bottle.”

“It was good. When I first checked in I went to one person at the front desk and asked if I could check in and the guy rudely waved me away. I went to the next person who was more than helpful except that when I asked for a king instead of a double she forgot to tell me my new room until after I had been up to my room twice with new keys. On the third time to the desk they realized that they had forgotten to inform me of the room change, but once they realized the mistake they compensated me with a free buffet. Overall it was a good experience and I would stay there again.”
