Just wanted to add an update to this thread. We stayed at the Hampton Inn and Suites Peabody Place on Beale last weekend and had the exact same experience as paradocs stated on Sept 24, 2002. We were upgraded to a two room suite with a great balcony as HH gold and loved the location. It can't be beat for a night on Beale Street. Prices are high - we paid $179.00 with a AAA rate, but for downtown Memphis, that's the norm.
