Unless you can sleep through the sound of a locomotive rumbling through 6 times in a night and blaring its horn, I would not recommend this place. The track is directly across the street from the property. The staff is fine and the place was clean, but the trains ruined the entire experience for me.

The stay started off with the some of the most friendly and helpful staff you can encounter, especially lovely and beautiful Asha (the hotel's manager). The Breakfasts were full of variety, which included cereals and fresh fruits. The rooms were clean and very well kept, clean linens, comfortable beds, spacious with televisions (36" flat screen) in each room and a lovely fire place. The no smoking policy set us back a little, we had to go all the way to the lobby downstairs (we stayed on the 2nd floor) but the elevator made it a bit easier. The landscaping was impressive, it made the surrounding beautiful with the well manicured lawn and lovely flowers. That was the good part
We spent some time in New York where we did some shopping (lots of electronics) before going to Memphis, during our stay we did not secured (locked) our suitcases when we left the hotel nor did an inventory on our return, room cleaning was always done while we were out. we left Memphis and spent some time in Orlando with close relatives , on returning home I discovered an expensive piece of electronic device missing. I had my sibling informed the hotel management of the incident only to be told they questioned the cleaning staff who said they (cleaning staff) knew nothing of it (only obvious) and no one saw them stole it. However, they were very apologetic and gave us a $50.00 u.s.gift voucher (the device cost $125.00 u.s.) This incident spoiled my otherwise beautiful vacation. This was the bad experience.

The night clerk folks were really good, they were nice, and very courteous. Very unclean, in need of reservations. Make it obvious if you have pets in certain rooms. My daughter is allergic to pets and we didn't realize the affects of staying in this room. I am a Marriott Silver Elite member and have never been more displeased with a residence inn or another marriott property.

staff excellent, very helpful always smiling.. new facilities. recommended location for Memphis, Tn. also recommend Corky on poplar ave.
