First class hotel, bargain rate
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/10/07
There is so much to compliment that it is difficult to know where to begin. In general, the hotel is elegant. The lobby is nicely appointed. The staff is well trained, exceptionally friendly, and go to great lengths to assist. The hotel is very well maintained and housekeeping is superb. The breakfast area is large with a good selection. The rooms are average size but come with a refrigerator stocked with complimentary beverages; a large TV; new pillow-top mattresses and high-end bedding; Bath and Body Works shampoos and soaps; high-speed internet connection; and more. The large exercise room is well-equipped with a variety of equipment. The parking area is adequate, nicely landscaped, with on-site night-time security. The entrance is in the eastbound lanes of Poplar/U.S. 72 and is a bit difficult to see, but there is a quick turnaround just past the I-240 overpass if needed. The hotel has a web-site but it would not accept our reservation; just a temporary glitch. Memphis is a very active city with continuous special events. Plan well ahead for a reservation and treat yourself to the Park Place hotel. It is a great hotel at a remarkably affordable price. I have paid a great deal more at similar hotels and must say that Park Place is an excellent value.
