ARRIVE Memphis

A very funky old building, very nice place to be

There did seem to be a bar with music just below our room which did make quite a bit of noise

I love that they renovated an old warehouse. Extremely modern conveniences in a room that had polished cement floors and industrial looking ceilings. I think it's one of the nicest showers I've ever used. I like how big it was, and I liked that the showerhead was on the opposite wall from the controls. Towels were excellent. I like the sliding door that displayed either the mini bar and closet or the sink. The staff was extremely accommodating and cordial. Valet parking was efficient and polite. Location was great. Very close to the national civil rights Museum, which is a gem! 15 minute walk to Beale Street 20 minute walk to peabody hotel to watch the ducks walk across the lobby.

The bed was a little soft, but that might just be my personal preference.

Uniqueness

The fire alarm went off and we had to evacuate the hotel for a short time at 1:30 AM! The second morning our showers were lukewarm at best!

Great decor and vibe

There wasn’t any staff around when pulling into valet and then walking inside to check in. It felt like the twilight zone. Standing around waiting for staff to arrive. Additionally all the doors on our floor CREAKED when opening and closing. Very disruptive when trying to sleep, and could be solved with a single staff member and some quick spritzes of wd-40. The whole stay felt like this. The level of quality the hotel was selling was not what the staff seemed capable of delivering.
