My husband and I attempted to stay at the Park Place Hotel. I can not tolerate scented products. We called ahead to request a room that did not have scented products in the room and was not cleaned with scented products. They said they would be able to accommodate our request. They did not clean the room so it was unscented. I could not sleep the first night. By morning my breathing was ragged and I could not think and wondered if I needed to go to a hospital. During the day I tried to sleep in the car in the parking lot of my husband's new job.We desperately tried to find another location. We found another somewhat safe place for me to stay. I have stayed in hotels from L.A. to New York.. With one exception, every hotel I asked either would accommodate my request or tell me they were unable to do so. This hotel, however, said one thing and did another. It caused me a great deal of distress.

Recently my daughter and I stayed at this hotel in Memphis and was horrified that a hotel could be so nasty. The bathroom was dirty specifically the commode, the wall sockets in the bathroom was dirty, there were rust spots around the commode and the entire bathroom walls were filthy. It was too small to turn around in the bathroom to take a shower. The carpet was dirty, pictures on the wall was dusty and they even had nerve to try to give us a remote control for the tv that had no battery cover and the batteries were held in with Scotch tape. What they call the continental breakfast was horrible also. We overheard another customer complaining about the continental breakfast, the fruit was soggy, the bagels were stale, and the waffle maker did not cook the waffles all the way through. The elevator compartment was hot and at one time only one compartment was running. We tried to book another room at another hotel but Memphis was crowded at that particular time so we diecided to pack up and leave. The manager said he inspected the room and liked what he saw??? WOW!!! Customer service was not good at all. If you ever visit this hotel , beware of Room 226!!!!!!!!

Very pleased with stay at Park Place especially at the rate I got. I was here for the Liberty Bowl just before New Year's. Good size room and bathroom. Comfy pillows, Gave us a late check out. We were about 25 minutes or so from downtown. We were able to call a cab and one arrived within 20 minutes. Didn't have any problems getting a cab from Beale St to come back. An excellent restaurant is right beside the hotel, River Oaks. I highly recommend it especially since you can walk to it. A little pricey, but service is good. Hotel was somewhat confusing to get to from the interstate, especially if you pass it after gettin off (like I did!) Plenty of choices for eating nearby.

I booked this hotel after reading the reviews from this and other sites. I was not disappointed. From the moment I walked into the hotel, everything that I read about was true. First, the check in at the front desk was quick and easy, and took about 5 minutes to complete. Second, upon entering the room, I was very pleased with the layout, decor and cleanliness. Even though the hotel is sandwiched between two busy freeways, it was not noisy at all. The room was large with a king-sized bed. There was also a 32 in. TV with cable or satelite TV with many chanels, including a movie chanel. The bathroom was had plenty of soft, fluffy towels and fragrant soap and other toiletries. An added bonus was the lighted magnified mirror. There was also a blow dryer, although I did not use it. There was also plenty of hot water, with good water pressure. The minibar/refrigerator was stocked with one bottle of water, and a diet and regular coke, all complimentary. Breakfast is included in the price of the room. Breakfast included pastries, cold and hot cereal, waffles, toast, mixed fruit, and an assortment of hot and cold beverages. I liked the fact that the milk was in a small refrigerator, rather than sitting in a bowl of water in a container, which is how some buffets display it. I also like the fact that the beverage dispensers were drained and cleaned at the end of the breakfast period, which is 6:30 - 9:30 AM. The hotel also has a pool and fitness center, although I did not use either of them. There is plenty of parking, and a security guard is posted outside the hotel. I did not notice him until after arriving back to the hotel after midnight. Although the hotel is located on the east side of Memphis, it is easy to get to all the sites via Interstate 240, which circles Memphis. I would stay at this hotel again in a heartbeat, and will upon my return to Memphis.
