“Going home again was a nightmare.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I was born and raised in Memphis and we decided to stay close to Beale Street to visit with some friends in the area and take care of some personal things. We booked on very very short notice and this place, while rated 3 stars, was extremely affordable and the location was acceptable for what we needed. It ended up being the worst hotel stay we've ever had as a couple.

The place was disgusting. Moldy, damp, musty, and bleak. It looked like one of those old creepy hotel rooms you only see in movies. Well, they do exist. There's no room service, housekeeping, no food on site(not even vending machines). It apparently used alot for teens to have underage drinking parties because the management just doesn't give two cents.

We asked to stay after we found ourselves underneath one such party. We were told that the party "would be over soon" and they couldn't do anything? Really? There were so many terrible other things that I could go on, but no need to pile on at this point.

Room Tip: Stay as far away from this place as humanly possible.

“NEVER AGAIN”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 August 2009

This hotel is a dump....nothing like the pictures they advertise...the room was old and musty, the carpet was threadbare, and the washroom was old and dated and not very clean. I would not stay there again.
Our window faced the roof and ventilation system...I am glad we only stayed there one night. Better to stay with a well known hotel, than this old relic.

“Hotel is just fine.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2009

I read the posted reviews and was very unsure about keeping my online reservation. I took my chances, and the hotel was fine. It is an older hotel, and the room was clean, and although the air conditioner was not as cold as I would of liked, what we paid to stay there, I would say no worries. The hallways tended to be on the warmer side, but the nice pool area was secluded and relaxing. My only negative was I was a little dissapointed how far away it was from all the activity downtown. It was quiet and nothing was stolen from either our room or car, as mentioned on other postings.
