My sister and I booked this hotel online after reading over all the hotels close to the Beale Street area. We knew ahead of time that the outside of the hotel was rated by others as very undesirable and nothing to look at. When we arrived on 10/22, we were aghast at the area. It was surrounded by Section 8 buildings with no lighting around. There were no cars at the hotel and this was on a Saturday at prime time check in. When we went into the lobby (which was through a door with bars on it) we were hit with the smell of strong Indian spices that permiated throughout the tiny lobby. In the corner was what was supposed to be the continental breakfast area, and it was filthy. We were afraid to touch anything in the lobby and were told our room wasn't ready for check-in. We left and happened to find an Econo Lodge motel very close to Beale, for just a few more dollars per night, and it had a parking garage and was clean. We were VERY deceived by the description of this hotel and wouldn't feel safe walking or driving around that area even in the middle of the day. It wasn't just "nothing special," it was scary and disgusting and someplace you would expect a night's stay to cost you $29.99 a night. We ended up getting charged for the night even though we didn't stay there. We are disputing this charge on our credit card and will not pay for a disgusting place that deceived tourists who book online. We ended up staying at another Choice Hotel, so we kept within the Choice Hotel name, which means there are places under Choice that are respectable, clean and decent. DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT STAY HERE.

This was a perfectly fine motel, with friendly staff and a very spacious clean room. Although the area was not the best, we were on the ground floor and it was quite noisy outside the front door, prostitue just outside! Didnt feel completely safe as its not very well lit around the area either. Would probably have prefered to have stayed downtown, walking distance to Beale st.

I would stay in this room again. By no means was it a 4 star hotel, but I will say it was dated, but clean. It was cleaner than the room we'd stayed in the night before which was twice as much as this one. The front desk was nice, and they didn't have a problem w/ a late check out. I was traveling w/ two other women, and at no time did we feel scared or a sense of danger. Beale street was a little less than two miles from the motel. I would definately stay there again!

The sign for this hotel is small and hard to see as the hotel doesn't face Linden Ave so it was hard to find. We had a big room which was clean. The breakfast was very limited.
