Crowne Plaza Memphis Downtown Hotel by IHG
We didn’t actually stay at the Crown Plaza. The National Guard took over the hotel so we were moved to the LaQuinta Inn. It was very nice once they fixed a shower problem. They even shuttled us back and forth to the Crown Plaza for our breakfast we prepaid for.

It was a beautiful sunny day when we checked in. We were told the rooftop bar was closed. Very disappointed as i booked based on the mississippi river view hotel bragged about from rooftop. Had i known of closure i would have chosen a different hotel.
