The Peabody Memphis
I really enjoyed my stay in the room was beautiful however when I booked a room and it was reserved and I get there and they say they don’t have it available but I can upgrade for $40 and make me pay for the upgrade fee is not good practice. They should have upgraded my room and not charged me anything ...
