Great stay other than the noise at 2AM Saturday morning. I have a recording of the noise but it won’t let me put it on h

The location and the amenities available. Restraints available. Shopping.

It says the rooms are sound proof. But not. At 2:00AM. the neighbors in 324 had their tvs volume as loud as it would go seems like. Kids were noisy. Sounded like they were building a house. I lost a couple hours sleep before they finally quieted down. I was actually fixing to call the front desk bout the time they did. It was that bad. I had a 6.5 hour drive home the next day so I really needed that sleep.

Fantastic, kid friendly stay!

Clean, smelled great and overall super nice. I love that you could shop, eat, bowl, and see the skyline all in one place. Kids loved the scavenger hunt and it entertained them for a while. It felt super safe, as well. They had bingo which was super cool too. The rooms were quiet, no car noise or anything. Just loved everything about it. We play volleyball in Memphis every year so we will be back.

Nothing I didn’t like.

We had an excellent stay at the most u unique place and my teenager loved it.

Very unique! I loved the attention to detail with the theme. The Den for guests was the best part.

The lights in the store never dimmed- I felt they could have at least turned off the neon lights.

This hotel is a real treat. From the moment you walk in the doors the smell is 😍😍 lots to do here also. Kids loved the bowling. Beds were ridiculously comfortable. And the bathtub was amazing! We had the hot tub style bath. Loved it here.

Okay but definitely not great for the money!

Didn't have breakfast. The burger place by the bowling alley was not good. The server was not good. Food items we ordered didn't get provided, we had to ask where's the appetizer we ordered after our main food arrived. Quality of food not good and over priced. Ran out of every mixed drink we wanted so settled for water which was a big disappointment.

Quality of food. No help with luggage to room. No signage indicating where to check in at outside. Valet very laxadaisical. Need to stay open later on Sunday since we can't check in until 4pm.

The lodge & room was beautiful! It was fun to spend the night inside of a Bass Pro store.

The cost! I felt it could have been a little cheaper. Everything from the room to the food to the alcohol was pretty expensive. That's why we only stayed for one night.

Very clean and the staff, extremely friendly, the amenities are a plus, so much to do and see. Kid friendly, pet friendly etc.. Breakfast buffet option was very nice.

The second elevator was out of commission. Making wait times long especially since there isn’t an “exclusive” guest like when making your way back down the observation deck.

Enjoyable, once in a lifetime, a pleasure.

The property was really tidy and well looked after, the rooms were very tidy and the organisation and cleanliness were top tier. The quality of products in and around the room were also a very nice touch.

The food service provided at the “lookout” restaurant was very poor, the waiters people skills, time management & service skills were poor to say the least. We were given our main entree’s prior to being served our appetisers, and the waiters speaking / communication skills were very poor. Additionally the gentleman whom checked us in “Trez” had poor communication skills as he was very quiet and misinformed us of our check in time which resulted in a delay during Checkin for ourselves.

The hotel was great and the property was nice. The food was just mediocre

The property was convenient having things to do located on property. We really did not have to venture off the property to find things to do.

The food was quite expensive for the type of foods we had at both Wahlburger Wild and The Lookout restaurant. The food was just okay.

Just a little disappointed in the Wahlberg restaurant. The web site still gives you indication that the fish bowl is still a restaurant there. Was looking for more selection other then wings and hamburgers. Should have left and went to the lookout up top and tried to get in

The property was lovely! I adored the location and the staff showed kindness and friendliness. In general, everything was superb.

I was unhappy about the lack of cleanliness in the floor and the jacuzzi tub. I took care of cleaning the tub on my own, and I suggest replacing the complimentary pepper popcorn with a fresh batch since it wasn't fresh. Despite these issues, I would be willing to return and suggest this place to my family and friends.

size of the room, valet, private balcony.

Not the hotels fault but the room next to us was occupied by someone's kids who were exceptionally loud and it went on for hours. Sounded as if they were wrestling and jumping on furniture. I did not like that breakfast was a separate expense.

Humans build crazy things- you have to see this one!!

Granted, I am not the normal demographic to stay in a place like this, but the uniqueness, attention to kitchsy detail, and legitimate 4+ star amenities made for a wonderful stay! I really wished we could have stayed longer. This was like boys' Disneyland! Boats, guns, fishing, all the outdoor gear. Warm staff, fantastically comfortable room, great cocktails (and top-of-pyramid views), amazing aquariums and faux cypress decor- I loved it here!

The only downside is the location (not easily walkable to bars/restaurants), which the hotel handily solves by offering a complimentary shuttle service, so no actual downside!

I liked having the cabin feel. The room service. Everything was so clean. Rooms were awesome. I loved getting to go down and shop at Bass Pro then go back to our room & relax. Free shuttle service downtown was also a plus. Will definitely be back

Check in was @ 4:00, we arrived @ 5:00 & room wasn't ready.

The most relaxing place to stay!

The room was amazing! By far the best place I’ve ever stayed. The decor in the room totally matched the vibe of the bass pro stores. The bathroom was massive with a bath big enough for two people. The shower pressure was great! The bed was comfy. The balcony was the perfect spot to sit and relax and had the best view of all the bass pro shops. Would highly recommend!!
