Hilton Memphis

They were able to change our room. They gave us a basement room by a large pond. Normally this sounds like it shouldn't be an issue... It sounds like, "oh hey, I have a room with a view! Of... A pond" but I assure you... This was not the case. I'll preface this review with the fact that I pride myself on being able to sleep anywhere. So ok, I walk in the main lobby and to my left is a small bar. There are a surprising number of people there and they are all fairly drunk. I didn't think much of it. I continued on to the check in. There were about 10 kiosks but only one was open. I was stuck behind a couple that was complaining about their room. Once they finished up it was my turn with the clerk. I'm generally a pretty nice person but when I start talking to her she has nothing but attitude. So ok, fine... I'm now checked in and have my basement room. Great. I just want to get to my room and go to sleep. As I walk down to the basement level the air immediately becomes heavy, cold, wet, and saturated with the smell of mildew. I continue on and when I open the door to my room, I am immediately slapped in the face by the smell of a moldy room. All surfaces in the room were also wet. Including the bed. There were also bugs on the bed. Really, the only reason not to just sleep outside at this point, the only reason not to sleep outside is because it's still hot out there. Anyway, I set my stuff down, waited 15 minutes, and then began smelling what I thought was a skunk that may have gotten hit outside my window... There was that small pond outside the window, and then the highway directly after the pond. I was however, completely mistaken. It was simply the people in the next room getting high... Which I'm assuming they had to do to stay in their room. After all this, I decide to ask for a different room. I was very polite about the entire thing. Which was odd because I was greeted with nothing but attitude. Again... From a completely different clerk. She seemed very upset about the fact that I was complaining. Once I was finished with the clerk, I go to my new room. There are dirty dishes on the floor outside the room waiting to greet me. The room smelled less... And was less damp... So... That's a plus. I will however, never be staying it this hotel again.

Nice beds Dirty room, shower curtain liner missing-got water all over the place. Overpriced and overrated.

We felt safe, but the room was old and rusty; wherever rust could show; you would see it. the toilet was tiny-- very low as if was for kids and it was leaking (for a while) because there was a dark stain surrounding it and the tub was chipped. While the room was clean, I did not expect this room condition in a Hilton property. I have stayed at other Hilton hotels and they definetely cannot be compared (it will be like comparing night and day).
