The Memphian, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

The atmosphere was lovely, and the staff was so kind. Check-in time was 3PM, but I had brunch reservations at "The Complicated Pilgrim" at 1 PM. After enjoying a great brunch/lunch, I asked if there was any way I could possibly check in early since I didn't really have anything else I needed to do before 3PM. The front desk staff were so kind and quick to let me know that was no problem at all. We were checked in within 10 minutes of finishing brunch (AMAZING FOOD), and sprawled out on the bed trying to recover!!! However, that is my one complaint... that bed was HARD! I didn't sleep so well, but I had a lot of anxiety for board exams the next morning, so... lets blame it on anxiety. The Memphian is a great choice in an awesome location with plenty to do nearby, and offers a very nice, upscale, experience. The Memphian is worth the couple extra dollars if you are looking for something away from downtown, but with the downtown hospitality feel of the bigger hotel chains. Again... great food at "The Complicated Pilgrim". We did not go the bar that is on the 7th floor (it has its's own elevator!!), because from what we read they encouraged a collared shirt and/or blazers for men, so since I had just packed hoodies and blue jeans (so I could be comfortable when testing), but I will go back in the future with the appropriate attire to give the Tiger and Peacock a try!! All in all it was a lovely stay, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice place to stay on a little vacation from the house that isn't too far away!!

The bed was a bit hard and I wasn't able to sleep well. That being said, I had boards the next morning, as well as 2 ruptured disc in my back, so... was it the bed itself, or my multitude extenuating circumstances? We will see next time... I passed the boards and had surgery to fix the back 10 days later! Next time it's going to be on the mattress if it is a fail!! Everything else was great.

Very well-planned hotel room, easy and secure parking (less expensive than most hotels), spotlessly clean room, a wonderful scent throughout the property, pleasant staff.

Great location

Clean

staff at front desk and hostess at rooftop bar not very attentive or helpful. we took the normal lift to rooftop and the thin female hostess slammed the door in our faces after we innocently knocked to get in. Welcome to Memphis :-)
