I have been trying to reach your customer service ever since I went to the hotel. As soon as I got in the foyer and tried to check in, I was overwhelmed with the smell of marijuana and had to leave. I've been trying to reach customer service because I would like a full reimbursement

The Peabody Memphis

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Memphis Airport Graceland
This place hasn't been updated in at least fifty years. The beds aren't even doubles. The pull out they gave us was stained with some kind of biological fluid. The plug in the bathroom didn't work. Just a really rough hotel.
