Comfort Inn Memphis Downtown
Facility was decent, most of staff were pretty bad. One front desk attendant was great and nice, and one other staff member who might have been the hotel manager (not sure) was also pleasant. The staff in the breakfast area was incredibly rude, and other front desk and general staff were not great. ...

ARRIVE Memphis
Loved the location and atmosphere of the hotel. Great coffee shop and bar in the lobby. All of the staff was amazing and the hotel is very clean. The rooms are very cool, loved the industrial look. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.
