Hu. Hotel
This was our first stay here and it was excellent!! The entire staff were helpful and pleasant! The nice man who helped us get parked and go over to the garage was so nice! I’m sorry I don’t remember his name - he found me an electric scooter to use and went to the parking garage to help my husband!! ...

Sheraton Memphis Downtown Hotel
Absolutely no issue with the hotel. We had noisy neighbors who were slamming doors at 2am. Did not contact the desk. There would have been nothing they would have been able to do.
