My stay at Hu Hotel Memphis was a mixed bag. On one hand, the staff went above and beyond, making me feel welcomed and providing great recommendations. On the other hand, the room was cramped and not as clean as I had hoped, leaving me disappointed. The rooftop bar had stunning views, but it lacked a wider food selection, which was a letdown for me as well.

My stay at Hu Hotel Memphis was a mixed bag. The location was fantastic, allowing me to easily explore downtown attractions, including the vibrant Beale Street. However, the amenities fell short of my expectations, particularly the dining options and some service aspects. I enjoyed the rooftop views, but the limited food offerings and lack of room service were disappointing. Overall, while I appreciated the clean and comfortable room, the hotel felt like it was trying to be upscale without fully delivering on those promises.

The dining options were severely lacking; the breakfast was merely a basic continental spread, and the rooftop bar didn’t always have food available. I expected more based on the hotel's marketing.

My stay at Hu Hotel Memphis was mixed. I appreciated the beautiful and clean room, which had a cozy charm and a fantastic view, but I was disappointed by some aspects. The breakfast buffet was poorly organized, and I found the menu to be limited, which made mornings a bit hectic. Additionally, the rooftop bar, a highlight for me, closed an hour early, which was a letdown.

The breakfast options, although inexpensive at $10, were limited and didn't cater well to all guests. I noticed it got busy, and there were often delays in replenishing food. I'd recommend looking for nearby diners for a better breakfast experience.

While the hotel has a rooftop bar with stunning views, it seemed a bit worn down and didn't live up to the high prices for drinks. It's a great place to catch the sunset, but the ambiance was lacking.
