Very good

This resort is very conveniently located to attractions like Beale Street, the Memphis Zoo, and Graceland. The rooms were clean and well maintained. My kids enjoyed the bowling alley and the food at Wahlburgers was good.

It would have been nice if the facility was open later for guests of the resort. Room service was not available after 9:00pm, and the only other onsite options for food after that time, were chips and candy from the vending machine. Guests pay $20/day for parking, and are offered spots in the same parking lot as patrons of the Bass Pro Shop. If we are expected to pay for parking, it would have been nice to have a closer, dedicated lot for guests.

Perfect

I live in Memphis. I booked a surprise Birthday staycation here for my husband. I have been to the Bass Pro several times but staying at the lodge was my first. I saw things differently from a hotel guest perspective. It was magnificent. It felt as if we were not in Memphis. It was beautiful! We stayed there, we ate at the Lookout and we went bowling at the Fishbowl. Everything was wonderful. It was a great mini staycation and I would stay again! The staff was absolutely wonderful!

Great experience

Sitting on the interior room balcony overlooking the shops and restaurants at night was lovely

Took us a bit to work out the AC, the fan was loud and directly over the bed which wasn’t ideal when blowing cold air but it seemed to regulate itself after while.

We absolutely loved it, but might not be back soon due to the value for what you pay.

Everything! The room and overall accommodations were beyou d lovely and very well thought out. It was so nice to be able to shop and hang out and then come back to your room and relax.

The only thing that was disappointing was the fact that the breakfast buffet was not included with the price of our room, and very expensive and there were no other options except the vending machine on our floor.

Everything, this place was amazing!

The distance they put our 2 rooms together. We also had to wait 2 hours after check-in time for our 2nd room to be available. We were only staying 1 night, so it made it very inconvenient and didn't allow us to enjoy the entire store as we had planned to do.

Definitely would stay here again. Facility was clean, and quiet. We were not big a on Memphis, but the resort was great.

Being inside the bass pro was neat. How you couldn’t hear anything that was happening. Very quiet.

There was some lack of communication between the 2 front desk girls when we checked. I didn’t like that we didn’t have a window or a balcony.

Lovely stay at a unique location. Will be back!

The man at the front desk in the hotel was so friendly! I remarked how warm he was and his response seemed so genuine. The first time we started the person checking us in was the complete opposite, so this was a nice change.

The sheets were not comfortable. Felt like they were polyester and sweaty. Seemed like a miss since everything else in the room was high quality. The room was right across from the Hilton group, and they were loud leaving, which was when I was trying to put my little one to bed. Not a huge deal.

Beautiful room, beautiful hotel, overpriced

It was a beautiful room. Very comfortable and clean.

There were lots of fees they never mentioned, and it took hours after our stay to receive the email with the total charges on it. It felt like they were hiding something. Also, they charge $24 per person for a crappy breakfast buffet. The food was just not good. The staff couldn’t care less. Most hotels give a free complementary breakfast, and don’t make you walk the entire place to get a voucher, then go back to the buffet to prove you are staying there. The last couple that walked in were not asked for their vouchers that we saw. It just seemed shady that they never disclosed the charges for it.

I really liked the rooftop and making smores. It was beautiful and nice out so we just sat around the firepit and played uno which we borrowed from the front desk. The hotel room was large and it was quiet and peaceful. Being able to sit on the balcony and look at the fish and ducks was cool. I also liked the fireplace. Even though it is just lights it is pretty to look at.

The staff was wonderful. The room was more than expected, and the view on the balcony was superb.

The breakfast was over priced and it should have been included in the stay, paying half a grand and couldn't get a free continental before heading back to our destination.

Absolutely Amazing Stay – Highly Recommend!

I had an incredible experience at this hotel from start to finish! The rooms were spotless, beautifully maintained, and super comfortable. Everything felt fresh and clean, and the attention to detail was impressive. The customer service was top-notch—everyone I interacted with was friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. They made me feel valued and taken care of throughout my stay. I honestly loved everything about this place and would absolutely stay here again. If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-run hotel, this is it!

Family place, but expensive

Liked the inside terrace room, not the outside room terrace. Bathrooms were huge and very nice. Liked the Whalburg restaurant downstairs. Kids loved the room as it looked similar to a cabin, very nice.,

They have kids activities during the week but we were there during the weekend and there were not any activities for kids. I did wish the hotel or the Bass Pro store sold milk for the kids. They advertise breakfast buffet but it is $24.99 a person, which is a lot for a family of 4. The bowling was $10 for 30 minutes per person and the only balls were heavy and for adults. The rooms temperature would not go below 70 degrees, which was annoying.

We checked in at 5:30pm and didn’t know that we couldn’t eat or do any of the activities after 6:30. The host at wahlbergers was extremely rude to us

Beautiful room. Great food

The lighting in the toilet area is too dark. The number zero on the phone keypad does not work. We called 3 times to the front desk to try and get a bell hop. No answer every time. The staff in the rest was excellent.. The breakfast ladies were so sweet. The older night shift bell hop was so fantastic.The young lady running the elevator in the evening needs to be trained on customer service. She upset quite a few folks waiting in line with her attitude.

Dark bathroom. No morning bell hop. Keypad not working on phone. Wish there would have been a souvenir of the pyramid we could purchase. Not one item in that entire huge store.
