Top Memphis Zoo Hotel Reviews

Hu. Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I love staying at Hu Hotel. I feel like the rooms are quiet, and I like the design of them. The parking is so easy, especially being downtown. That’s one of the reasons I stay here over some other hotels. I can self-park in the garage that’s right across the street, and I can come and go as I please. It kind of feels like I have my own little apartment. Also, the people who work here are consistently friendly and so kind."
