Hotels near Frayser Plaza Shopping Center, Memphis

It was very difficult to get to this hotel. Our GPS kept on wanting us to go through Main Street, which is for pedestrians and the trolley only. Entry is from Front street. After turning around and around, we get to the hotel hoping for valet. None that week. We were sent to park on our own in a building on Front street and given a code to go in and out. In my frazzled state, I could not understand the instructions the receptionist was giving me. In the end, he came out and pointed to the building. No fee for that. However, they didn't have large luggage carriers, and as we were traveling for a long time and staying 4 days, we had to do 2 trips with it to transfer all of our luggages. The bar was closed. The room was in the historic Kress building, so we had to cross over to that building from the reception. It was a large suite, with 2 queen beds on one side, half a wall, and a trundle bed on the other side. The room was very confortable. The beds were confortable and so were the linens. Irritants - too much light through bathroom doors! When someone would go to the bathroom, the light shone in my face the whole time even though they closed the door. It was pretty annoying, mostly at night when it woke me up. Also, under his trundle bed was a whole bunch of junk left by preceeding occupants. It was never cleaned while we were there. From the description online, I thought there would be a sofa bed and a trundle bed. Just a trundle bed in our room. We also had a small fridge. We appreciated how, without us asking, they left a bag of towels attached to the doorknob on day 2. Breakfast was OK, the room was fairly small, and a homeless man kept on knocking in the window in the morning. The breakfast attendant did what she could to push him away though. There was waffles, eggs, meats, oatmeal, cereals and breads. We really enjoyed the hard boiled eggs in that location. The hotel is very well located, on Main street and walkable to Beale Street or the Pyramid. The university is right there too. Staff was OK.

Guest House was beautiful. It felt as if I was walking into a movie scene. Very beautiful place. They have a movie theater with free Elvis movies each night, food was excellent and service was superb. Location is great and very secure. I would highly recommend to anyone in the area. I wish we could have stayed longer.

This hotel is pretty nice. The Angelo Grove hotel street in Marion felt safe. The staff were friendly. The room is updated and clean. Here were the only two issues. First, and I have seen this is another Hampton Inn recently, the curtains are fake quarter panel and don’t close at all. This means you can’t get to sleep much in the summer and are woken up early. I also had a flood light outside my room, which is great for safety but with the fake curtains it was bright all night. The second issue was breakfast started 30 mins late. Maybe the employee was late to work. The front desk staff was apologetic. Breakfast was mostly cold take and go items. There wasn’t any plain protein like usual (sausage gravy is not a protein). Other than those two things the hotel was good, and it’s a nice choice for anyone in the Memphis area. I hope Hampton puts back full curtains in all its properties. I see they’ve backtracked on the unpopular shared toiletries (have little individual ones again) so hopefully the curtains are next.
