I was concerned about the hotel as I had read some bad reviews, but this hotel was fine. I felt safe, the rooms were clean, and the staff was courteous. The best thing about the hotel is that it is close to Beale St. and the trolley. It is a bit old and the rooms are just ok as far... more

August 2nd 2008 myself and 3 of my friends rented two rooms from the Memphis branch and had a horrible expierence... First of all, the air was broken in the lobby and hallways so we were miserable...when we told the people at the front desk they did not seem to care...even the supervisor. Both me and a friend of mine... more

My sister and I stayed at the Benchmark during Elvis week. We could not have asked for a better stay. The staff was awesome The location was the best .......close to everything. We are definitely staying there for our future trips to Memphis !!!!!!!! more

My sister and I booked at the last minute for Elvis week and felt lucky to even find a room. After reading the other reviews we were prepared to have a very mediocre room and service.

I enjoyed my stay at the Benchmark. The location was excellent and the hotel is kind of old but it was fine for me and my friends. It was affordable and the staff was great. My room was clean and the hotel itself was nice. It wasn't a four star hotel but I didn't go there looking for a 4... more

We booked this hotel for it's location. We had read a few of the reviews here and knew we weren't getting a prize...but it is cheaper than anything else in walking distance to Beale street, which is a plus when you are out for a weekend of debauchery. However....the hotel is old. It needs to be updated. If you stay... more
