Springhill Suites By Marriott Memphis Downtown

Springhill Suites By Marriott Memphis Downtown

10/10 Excellent
"The room was clean and super comfortable. The housekeeping staff, front desk, and valets are super friendly and helpful. When I checked in they pointed me in the direction of the park 4th Bluff to watch the fireworks and we had a great view. We were also within walking distance to the Bass Pro Pyramid and several other places. There is not much in the way of parking especially for overnight guests. I hadn't intended to use valet parking but walking blocks and putting it in a parking garage didn't seem to make sense since the lots charged very nearly the same price for an overnight stay. Breakfast was great and they offered a variety of foods that my kids would actually eat. All in all a great stay."
