Worn and Stale - Not The Best
I'm a big fan of new, fresh, and clean hotels. This Doubletree meets none of those requirements. While all of the people who work here were very friendly and helpful, the condition of the hotel and room need much improvement. Additionally, your only parking options are a garage a block away for $18+ per day, or valet. 
This was also my first visit to Memphis, and I wasn't impressed with the downtown area. Pretty much all of the hotels have security or police in the lobby to ward off beggars and crime. And the surrounding area seems economically depressed. 
Room disappointments: 
- Stained bedspread
- Scuffed up walls 
- Loud and banged up air conditioner 
- Dark 
- Old and scuffed up popcorn ceilings. 
- Sink that wouldn't drain properly. 
- Dark, dirty floor. 
- Paint roller and rag left in my room by maintenance. 
Hotel disappointments:
- Poor parking options. 
- Not the best neighborhood. 
- Damp, crowded, and small gym. 
I didn't sleep AT ALL the 1 night I stayed here due to feeling like I was in a dirty room, and the loud AC. 
Again, this property gets things RIGHT when it comes to its staff. All of the employees here were great to work with. But the property needs a serious renovation.
