ARRIVE Memphis
"Loved the room - just a few small things would make it perfect: more than 1 hook for bath towels and a coffee machine. I guess that is so we have to go down to the cafe and buy one every morning. Staff were great and onsite bar was a bonus."

We had a cozy corner room with massive windows on both sides, offering stunning, panoramic views of the Mississippi river, and the Memphis skyline.
