Top hotels in Uptown
Memphis Riverline Hotel
Everything was great, no price tags in the store and then paying $10 for a bottle of water seemed a little excessive.

Hu. Hotel
I stayed at this hotel for two nights. It has potential to be a really nice place, but it needs work. The staff was AMAZING! The rooftop views were beautiful, but you could only see them at 5 o’clock when the rooftop opens. The staff was willing to have maintenance open the rooftop for me but I declined ...

The Guest House at Graceland
Love this hotel! This was our second visit. Disappointed that TV only worked part of day . Also no hair dryer or no extra roll of toilet paper . All issues were reported to client services.

Hyatt Centric Beale Street Memphis
Room was nice and loaction is good. The breakfast is very expensive. The thing that lets it down are the bar staff and some at breakfast (but not all). One bar staff member was rude and arrogant, the worst we come across on our road trip, if you don't want to work here just get another job.
