1st off, we LOVE downtown Memphis. We've got married in Memphis in 2013 and have stayed at almost all the hotels in downtown Memphis over the years with the exception of the Peabody. We decided to splurge and book a night there, only to find we could've gotten a much cheaper rate through the hotel itself rather than through Expedia. That was on me. For what we spent, I was a little disappointed in the size of our room, especially the bathroom. We had to close the bathroom door to open the closet door and close those 2 doors to open door to the room. Although charming, I honestly don't think I would stay there again. It took about 15 minutes of standing at the bar(The Corner Bar)to even give my drink order to bartender. Finding a seat in the main lobby was almost impossible and when we finally did, I ordered a drink which came in a reasonable amount of time, however, my husband ordered a coffee press which arrived about 35-40minutes later so we ended up taking it to our room. I totally get that the atmosphere of The Peabody is part of what you pay for, but I can honestly say for the price we paid for one night, I expected more.
