The Peabody Memphis
We were upgraded from our double queen room to one of the king rooms which was an amazing surprise. There was a nice room on our floor with complimentary drinks and breakfast. Best of all, the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in!

Comfort Inn Memphis Downtown
We loved our rooms however, the carpets in both of our rooms turned our socks and feet black from the dirt. It was difficult to figure out how to get into the hotel and parking. Other than that it was an amazing hotel. The sites from the 10th floor were amazing!
