Much ado about nothing
My huband and I checked into The Peabody, Memphis, expecting great things. The lobby is beautiful, the fowl parade just ducky, but the overall impression, not so great. 
Our room was not ready upon check-in. I had trouble communicating with the front-line staff due to a language barrier. Staff tried to upgrade our room to the bridal suite, for $250.00 more a night-no thank you. They offered two doubles instead of our already secured king bed, but that is not what we had requested. Valet parking was pricey. 
When we arrived in our room, outlets did not work. The floor was noisy into the early morning with revelers from Beale Street. I thought The Peabody would have security to deal with this issue but no such luck.
Service personnel needed more training. Lounge attendants were not prompt, and didn't care whether they took our order or not. We got our drinks at the bar, twice, before someone stopped to inquire.
Restaurant staff did not disclose how their breakfast offerings worked. A highlight was our visit to a side cafe with hot coffee and scruptious desserts prepared by The Peabody's the pastry chefs.
For the price of the hotel, I would need to think twice before booking there again.
