Such an easy business hotel. The rooms are clean and comfortable - great beds.
I stayed in both March and October of 2011 and the upgraded corner suite is worth the request. In March the room I had was a joined room and the parents with two children adjacent were quite noisy. The hotel staff was quick to remedy and handle one I said something.

The check-in and check-out is pleasant and efficient. This isn't a frills hotel however it is a clean, comfortable and convenient place to end a long business day that is nicely done and kept. Super easy and used to the business traveller. Great value.

Perks and plusses include the small necessity shop inside and coffee/deli counter/bar for quick bites & drinks. Being across the street from a Walgreens was convenient and the myriad of restaurants within short walking distance is ideal. Flight is a 2-minute walk and a must for a drinks, appetizers or dinner. The nearby Mesquite Chop House did a fantastic job on porkchops and steaks with a funky little bar.
Walking distance to Beale Street - it that's on your agenda.
Car service to and from the airport runs around $40-50.

Your basic hotel. Free wifi but was slower than 3 G. Housekeepers very noisy when working.

PROS: Excellent location --on the trolley line ($1 a ride) to all tourist attractions downtown, also on a pretty public square, and a couple blocks from the Mud Island pedestrian bridge. Lovely decor and comfy beds. The staff was polite and welcoming.

CONS: The potentially excellent view of the river and bridge was blocked by the huge neon Courtyard sign, which was flush to the left of our window. Bathroom was large, but there were numerous hairs from multiple people on the floor. Was charged $13.11 for a $5 unguarded, off-site parking garage. (The explanation by the hotel that this is the garage's "overnight charge" conflicts with the statement of the garage clerk, who told me that $5 is the 24-hour flat rate.) And although our stay was covered by loyalty points, my credit card was "authorized" with 3 separate charges totaling $70, which have not yet been removed.

Luckily, we were not there for downtown fun, not the view from the room, and I took care of the repugnant hair myself, then spread towels that probably went through bleach and hot water on the bathroom floor.

NOTE: Be careful of valet parking, because although it is "only" $15 as other reviewers mention, you will be charged for two consecutive calendar days if overnight, according to the desk clerk, (This was not volunteered information; I had to ask for it.)

All this being said, I would definitely book a stay here again for the location and value overall.

Great hotel, close to Beale Street, take the trolley on the riverside loop, will take you within a minute from Beale Street.

Room is clean,staff good, valet parking $15, not too badly priced, if we come back to Memphis we will definately stay here again
