Generally not bad, but higher priced, maybe due to a local event?

Directly downtown, just minutes to Baele St, Main St or Mississippi Banks. Good bed, spacy room and shower, baggage drawer. Fridge avalable.

One elevator, very slow, in peak times need a lot of patience. Bar closes at 7pm. Climate in room good power, but apparently with some time schedules, so must be repeatedly adjusted...

Beautiful spot in a great location.

We had a beautiful, large corner room, looking out onto Second and Madison. Comfortable king bed, nice linens. Beautiful shower too.

I think quite a bit of effort has gone into soundproofing for the outside noises but Memphis has a very noisy downtown with muscle cars and motorcycles revving motors and racing around. This is not a Hotel Napoleon problem, it’s a downtown problem.

Very nice staff, very cool and interesting building, and great location.

The parking is a little confusing. Had to use the garage next door and it wasn't user friendly.

The hotel served its purpose. The staff was really nice.

Mainly the location because it was downtown which made it easy to navigate to other areas fairly quick.

Parking and there was no real ventilation in the room. There was a weird smell coming from the vents when the heat was turned on.

Hotel Napoleon, you were not “short” on comfort, cleanliness or location!

There wasn’t breakfast but The Chess Club was Nextdoor . That was perfect. The staff was helpful and courteous. The room was comfortable and very quiet. The walk to Beale street made the location exceptional.

Bad

The rooms were ok. There was a good amount of room to walk around and relax. The manager was out of town but she contacted me and helped with a resolution.

It was not clean. There was mold, stains on the walls, hair all over the bathroom wall, one of the towels were laid strange and had a dirty mark on it and there was a bottle cap in the bed frame. There were more issues that I took pictures of.

Fabulous boutique hotel with great rooms and staff close to Fownton and Beale Street.

Efficient. Clean. Very quiet. Nice big room and spacious modern bath. Good spot to walk to Beale Street. Good parking next door.

There are lots of empty buildings around, which has nothing to do with this property, but I hope there’s more reinvestment like this!

Nice comfortable room and quiet hotel afforded a good nights rest.

Historic building on corner of MADISON AVE and B B KING in downtown Memphis

Musty smell. Could see original curved window frame water damaged but another sealed inner window was on inner side of this exterior window. Needed repair though

Lack of hot water and poor staff communication. Facilities beyond that absolutely 4*

The hotel absolutely met the star rating offered of 4*. It was a well put together hotel in the sense the accommodation was fresh, good condition, modern. Be warned, not all rooms have bathrooms with a door!

There was no hot water for the bulk of our stay. The hotel staff did not inform us of the issue, nor did they keep us informed of the issues. We arrived at 2am after almost 24 hours of travelling and we were not kept informed of any problems. The first we knew was when we had a shower and it was cold. The staff seemed either apathetic or disinterested and this frustrated us and a number of other guests. Whilst we accept it was not the staffs' fault, we still felt the staff could have been more informative. Our room card also needed remagnetising every day which became tiresome. Some guests look to have received a welcome bag on arrival- we did not.

Dissappointing

Location. Towels and sheets

Not very clean. Room wasn’t ready for 1.5 hours after check in time. We asked twice for an estimated time it would be ready but reception staff weren’t able to provide. After 1 hour of waiting we were offered a “worse room with no view” if we wanted it.. no upgrade or compensation offered for the inconvenience.
