The property was well taken care off and the furnishing and counter tops in the room looked brand new. The staff was friendly and helpful. My only reason for not giving a perfect score is that the ac unit is very old and noisy and there is light coming in from under the door which is distracting if you are sleeping. This is a simple hotel, with a small lobby but I found it to be more practical than the ones by Beale St. It is very quiet, parking is right there and the price is much better. Overall a much better deal. This is where I will stay the next time I am in town.

Disliked: Staff & service
The lady in the restaurant was very nice. Seemed apprehensive when desk/possible management was near. When i asked about checking out a day earlier then planned due to inclement weather, I had an 8 hour drive ahead of me and Memphis had received 6 inches of snow, they would not allow it. I think I was the only person there except for staff and family who was sleeping on the floor the behind the desk.

The hotel is in a very shady and unsafe area. The hotel itself is very small, and it is not very soundproof at all.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
When we arrived, we were given a room that was not clean then moved to a room where the door wouldn't open then moved to the third room and we got settled. The next day someone knocked on our door stated they were given a key to the room we were staying in and the key worked. After that a staff member was outside our door stating that we didn't pay for the room and demanded ID. I told him let me get dress and I would bring my ID down once downstairs I explained what happened when we arrived, and he said it wasn't put into the system. We go back to the room and tried the key, and it didn't work so I went back down there to get a key to get in the room he stated I deactivated the key because it was probably close to my phone but NO the key was not working anymore because he had activated keys for someone else. VERY BAD EXPERIENCE WILL NEVER STAY AGAIN AND WILL NEVER RECOMMEND.
