Holiday Inn Downtown Memphis by IHG

The phone in our room didn't work. We only had cold water for most of the stay (no hot). The lock was installed upside-down so that didn't work. The microwave was missing. But the worst part was the drag races going around the block from around 5:00 pm until around 3:00 am. We just got home, exhausted from all the noise. We have stayed here in the past, but never again.

The valet/concierge Excellent. Breakfast service and foodservice staff Excellent. That is all. The disgusting people sitting on their useless posteriors who are tasked with the "overwhelming" responsibility of checking in quests should all be fired immediately.

The housekeeping staff were extremely nice. The location was perfect and within distance for everything we wantednto do. The ice machine did not work on my floor (11th). Following directions to go on 5th or 14th floor, left me just as frustrated due to those machines not working either. I had to go to bar to get ice. Furthermore, the shower continually dripped and stopped when it was ready (1168).

Upon arrival the property appeared to be like the average Holiday Inn Express. However, there was no hot water the first night and half of the second day of stay. The toilet paper holder was an unsanitary and unaccpetable block of wood with a piece of unstable metal screwed in that did not hold the paper steady and constantly fell to the floor. The ice makers did not work. NONE of them on every floor even after checking the floors that I was directed to after reading a note left on the ice maker on the 10th floor. The room was not cleaned, especially the bathroom floor. IHG claims to deliver True Hospitality for Good, every day. I have never had an experience like the I just had with my two young daughters this week. Very disappointed and would not ever visit again. The valet were quick and friendly.

Nice place what highly recommend

The staff was wonderful. I enjoyed talking to them, especially Rose (I think that's her name). I got there early, and was told there was no early check-in. No problem, I totally understand. But when the 3:00 check in time came, I was told I had to wait as there was a shift change! It was almost 1/2 hour later before I could check in. Why have a check in time at 3:00 and a shift change? This was a little annoying.

Could use a little upgrading but otherwise fine. The shower and wash basin water temperature were stuck on very hot (no cold water) and I could not change it, which was inconvenient.

Everything within walking distance to activity we were attendend.

battery in smoke detector needed to be replace went off every 5 minutes 1am - 9am no maint. staff until then. not hot water had to change rooms, then came back later that day to NO HEAT. staff great facility needs a lot of TLC

Was nice being close to Beale street and FedExForum.
