Hampton Inn & Suites Memphis-Beale Street
Hampton Inn & Suites Memphis-Beale Street"The positive was the location to the Fedex forum and Beale street. Parking was only $26. The negative was dusty room, dirty wallpaper which incould have lived with for a night. When we got up in the morning there was a roach in the garbage in the ballroom and the shower. The hotel did nothing to compensate us and Expedia only gave 50 expedia bucks. I asked for a refund and could never get a hold of the property by phone. Expedia said the property declined the refund."
