Rated 2 out of 5 by Pamm Restaurant unsatisfactory
There was a lot of confusion at front desk about free weekend breakfast.
Waiter was awful. Poor service. Took over 10 minutes to get a cup of coffee. Eggs and hash browns were stone cold. Toast was cold. Server appeared inexperienced.
Bathroom grout appeared to have mold.
Bed was comfortable

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dee721 Great relaxation hotel!
This hotel is excellent for a relaxing get away. The staff are courteous, accommodating and will go out of the way to make you comfortable. I loved walking through the front door and immediately fall into the relaxing aroma of white tea! Great location, I throughly enjoyed my stay!

Rated 5 out of 5 by biosales This is a great Westin with great staff and wonderful rooms!!
What a classic Westin experience!! The upgrade to a suite facing the FedEx Forum was a dream come true!! The room and bathroom were so cool that we could hardly sleep!!! The staff was great and every detail was perfect! This is why I work so hard to keep a Platinum status!!
Well done!!

Rated 1 out of 5 by rsjones7 Unsatisfactory Experience - Pompous Manager
I have stayed at this hotel several times with a business group and learned the hard way that you don't want a room on the Beale Street side of the property. When booking this reservation we specifically requested a room not on the Beale side. When I checked in (after waiting 10 minutes because they only had one clerk working) I was told the room was not on the Beale side. When I arrived at the room it of course was on the Beale side. My request to move was not accommodated as they said they were fully booked. I went to check out since they couldn't accommodate my request and I was told, only after asking, that I would nevertheless be charged for my room. The manager was arrogant and seemed to not care that he had a guest very unhappy and ready to walk out of his hotel. Particularly when you are spending $400 for a room I think you ought to get better service. The solution offered was earplugs and a "white noise" machine which turned out to be a box fan. Nothing else was offered, like a break on the rate, a voucher for a drink or anything. Additionally the valet service is ultra-slow and the coffee service in the room had not been restocked. All in all this place is poorly run and we won't be back to this hotel or any other Westin. There are at least two other hotels in downtown Memphis in the same category with MUCH better service. Next time we will be staying with them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Djc53 Beautiful hotel
Very accomadators, beautiful and clean. The beds were amazing, Bleu restaurant has the best lobster Mac and cheese. The only drawback was you have to pay for Internet, in this day and age, that should be included. Beale street was littered when I was walking in the morning,

Rated 4 out of 5 by rufus43 Great location for downtown and Beale Street.
The staff was sensitive to our needs and very helpful. Wheelchair accessibility was very good. Smaller furniture would have made it easier to get around. The restaurant food was good. Very relaxing and convenient. We would stay here again. Great location for strolling downtown.

Rated 2 out of 5 by cmu82 Poor Service
My wife and I recently stayed the night here to meet up with friends downtown. We arrived at 5pm and were told our room was not ready because the basketball team had just checked out and they were still in the process of cleaning. They promptly handed us a $40 voucher for the bar and took our suitcase to the back. We walked over to the bar and ordered 3 drinks that totaled $38 (wonderful prices right?!) We went outside with our friends while we waited to be called. Finally, at 6:15pm, they called and said our room was ready and our bags were waiting for us there. We went and got the room key then went upstairs. After walking in the room, we realized our bags weren't there. I had to go back downstairs to locate the suitcase and bring it up to our room. The ice machine didn't work on the 3rd floor, so we were told to use the one on 4, 6, or 8. Also, we stayed on Daylight Savings night and still had to make the 12 o'clock check out. We've stayed at many hotels downtown, but this will be our last at the Westin.

Rated 5 out of 5 by bigcat20 Great place to stay for Beale,Orpheum,FedEx Forum events
This was our first stay at the Westin. We wanted a hotel near the Orpheum and Beale Street. The Westin fit the bill with comfort and convenience. We were able to walk to the Orpheum then back to Beale. We really enjoyed bleu. The food was excellent both at dinner and breakfast.

Rated 3 out of 5 by MM14 Great Location, Somewhat Expensive, Good Staff
The hotel is somewhat pricey; however, it is very well located and the staff is mostly great. I spend over 100 nights a year at Starwood Properties and can say the staff is good at this hotel. I would recommend this hotel for many reasons including the location, food and staff.

I just stayed here. The room clealiness was terrible, staff was bad.
Bathrooms were very dirty. The room service was exorbitant, and finally when the food arrived it wasn't any good - it was missing stuff. I had to make two more call before I got everything that I paid for!

Rated 5 out of 5 by roadwarrior Great hotel
This is a great hotel with a wonderful location right off Beale Street. The restaurant is wonderful and willing to change the menu to meet your needs. The one thing they do not have is an Executive Lounge for their Platinum members, but other than that is is A+++

Rated 3 out of 5 by gina22 This hotel is very loud!
I wish the staff would have recognized that we were traveling with children. The room was great! but the music on Beale St., was too loud! It stopped around 2 am. I found out the next morning that the rooms on the other side of the hotel are quieter.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Ben523 Not Clean
I am a frequent traveler and often stay at Starwood properties throughout the U.S. Like most of their Westin properties, this hotel is relatively new, well maintained and in a good location. However, my experience at this hotel was one of the worst that I have ever had. The rooms were not clean and the staff was often unhelpful. When I checked into the first room, there was a towel hanging on the rack with makeup stains on it. Clearly, it had not been changed. I asked for anther room and was given a comparable room on another floor. I didn't inspect the bed before going to sleep. When I woke up the following morning I found a strange sock in the bed which leaves me to believe that the sheets were never changed. I mentioned this to the staff the following morning and they acted as if they could care less. In addition to the unclean rooms and the unhelpful front desk staff, I had breakfast at the onsite restaurant the following morning. The service was slow and the food was mediocre. There were no other customers in the restaurant and it still took nearly 30 minutes to get my food.

Rated 3 out of 5 by MemphisRunner Memphis Marathon Weekend
This is the third year we've stayed at the Westin for the Memphis Marathon Weekend. For our purposes, it's been perfect.
Many of our friends run the Grizzly House 5k, and the hotel is right on the starting line. It's an easy post-race walk from the finish lines. Considering that, it doesn't seem like you could go wrong with a Starwood Hotel right in downtown.
However--at check in, there is fresh fruit in the lobby, but the next morning, that banana is $1.00. last year, I was able to book a room with star points, this year not only could I not use points, or cash and points, they tried to double my rate at the last minute. Even though my room wasn't ready until about 8:30 on check-in night, they wouldn't agree to allow me an hour's late checkout to shower after our races. They certainly didn't care that I was an SPG member.
All of these issues may be small things to most, but I stay Starwood to avoid issues.
All in all, for the price and attitude, I'll probably be looking at other downtown hotels for next years race.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kimmy11 This hotel is WONDERFUL!
My stay at this hotel definitely puts all other hotels to shame. I enjoyed the staff and the environment in general. I will definitely be staying at this establishment again in the future.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Clyde361 Amazing location, excellent rooms and staff!
Best location to Beale St. Got an upgrade to corner room with perfect view. Room great. Staff great. Call to service excellent. Would stay here every time in Memphis. Not any better.
Small cons: valet parking backs up due to small space. Clean behind tv on mount.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tags81 Great Location...fabulous staff
Maybe it's just the "southern hospitality", but we couldn't have been treated more warmly by each and every member of the staff we encountered. Definitely a place to stay.....bear in mind you might ask for a room NOT facing Beale street if you're not a night owl.

Rated 5 out of 5 by traveler136 Very welcoming hotel
The staff here was welcoming and gave us great suggestions for dinner. The rooms were very nice, and the beds were extremely comfortable. When we got to the room our toilet was not running well, but they sent someone up immediately and fixed it. A great stay!

I'm a platinum guest who travels to this hotel very often. Outside of the POOR PLATINUM RECOGNITION the room I was provided was dirty. The bathroom had mildew, there were stains on the carpet and curtains, and worst all the front desk manager was least helpful.

This hotel went above and beyond honoring every request we made. Our event was planned in advance however all of the staff went to great lengths to allow us some impromptu requests. Every staff member we encountered made us feel extremely welcome and important!

Rated 5 out of 5 by jwill110 Fantastic
Caveat: When I arrived, I was surprised to be upgraded to a "presidential suite." Wow. It knocked my socks off. Super-comfortable and luxurious. (I'm not normally a "Presidential Suite" kind of guy.)
Staff was also helpful and friendly.
Great stay overall!

Rated 2 out of 5 by HONESTAYE Lack of status recognition
I use to frequently stay at this facility. In the past 3 months I haven't been upgraded once nor received a thank you for being Platinum and have the Westin be my choice hotel in Memphis. I do receive the generic thank you email from the general manager.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 143Doubles Great Location and beautiful hotel
Rooms are quite large and so nice to have a separate tub and glass shower! Housekeeping will clean your room no matter what time you leave, which is nice. (we are late sleepers).
Added feature - Starbucks is right next door just a few steps outside.

We will recommend you to our group for next year : )
Thanks for the hospitality!

This hotel is only steps away from the FedEx Forum, the Rock and Soul Museum and Beale Street.
The rooms are large and very clean. The staff is very attentive.
One word of caution, the drinks at the lobby bar are very pricey.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Peep Good but not exceptional
On the whole the visit was fine, but lack of attention to detail was annoying, silly things like the lack of bathroom products, no shower gel or shampoo.
Bar opening hours were limited.
However when open found Bar staff fun and engaging
