Top hotels in Uptown
Big Cypress Lodge
Room was okay. Poor lighting & long walk for being an accessible room.

Sheraton Memphis Downtown Hotel
Room was clean. Location was perfect. Staff was friendly. One issue I had was the restaurant wanted me to buy something in order to get a PLASTIC fork. I found that to be totally ridiculous as a guest of the hotel and one that was welcoming runners.

Hyatt Centric Beale Street Memphis
The hotel is beautiful, staff is nice and view is outstanding. The problem is that these rooms are NOT sound proof. EVERY sound can be heard. Every voice, footstep and door opening. It made getting rest very difficult.
