The hotel and staff are just fine. The staff are actually very kind. However, my truck was broken into, and my window was shattered. Several cars in the lot were broken into as well.

Adam,I would like to personally apologize on behalf of myself and the staff that your vehicle as well as others were broken into. While we do try to be as proactive as we can, working with the local police department and a security company to prevent these instances. It is disheartening for all of the staff and our guests that we can not control the actions of others. Please reach out to me at the hotel directly, if I can be of any assistance.Alison

Thank you for the feedback. We aim to be your choice for an engaging place to rest. I apologize for our stumbles in delivering a comfortable relaxing bed and that the AC was noisy. This is not the impression we want to last. On the lighter side, I am pleased to hear that our staff made such a wonderful impression. I have shared your comments to the relevant departments. Your feedback will be given importance, and the team will do significant efforts to work upon the issues.

I have stayed here before and returned in March '24 because I was impressed with the hotel. Room was clean, quiet, bed very comfy. Breakfast is very good. Security guard in limited entry parking lot after dark for safety. Conveniently located between downtown and the bustling midtown area. Highly recommend!!

Checked into the hotel. Noticed a security car parked out front that a security guard comes at 7pm every night to keep watch. I got to my room and needed to use the restroom. Lifted the lid and the toilet was not cleaned. Hair and urine all over the seat. The shower’s shampoo rest was falling off and not sealed from the sealant as the rest was falling off. I later was getting ready for bed and I pulled the covers back and a couple long black hairs were loosely laying under the covers.

Adrian, I appreciate your candid review regarding your stay. I am happy to hear that you enjoyed our breakfast and clean rooms. Thank you also for your concern regarding the parking lot and car break ins. We do work closely with the Memphis Police Department, and a private security company to try and prevent situations such as these. Unfortunately, even with these precautions and the cameras and lights in the parking lot we cannot control the general public's behavior.

Carpet in hallways needed vacuuming. 3 of our 4 pillow’s had red spots on them. Not sure if it was blood or lipstick. The bed in room 238 was miserable. My side of the mattress dipped in a good 3 inches deep where my rear end would be. I had to stuff a pillow between the mattress and the fitted sheet to fill the spot. Not sure why this hotel has an 8.6. Other than convenience and staff it was awful. Will spend a little more next trip for a nicer hotel.

Hotel had no potable water available. Public water was on a boil notice. Did not have any water to offer guests. Had no change available so I could buy it from vending machine. Front desk had 2 bottles available, but charged me $5.00 per bottle. Clearly gouging because they knew humans need water, even just to brush teeth and take medicine. Hotel has obligation to provide potable water for no charge to guests. Ridiculous! Shameful!

This was a good hotel, clean and comfortable and the staff was excellent and hospitable and welcoming. However, be aware that it is across from a large hospital so there will be many sirens throughout the night which may be bothersome to some. Also while we were there several cars were broken into. If you park in a well lit area and make sure you leave nothing of any value in sight. We did that and the car on one side of us and behind us were broken into while we were fine.

Old hotel
This hotel seems very old and dated. It has been refurbished and improved, but it still is not attractive overall. There are so many newer and more appealing hotels available that I would not stay here again. That said, there was nothing specifically wrong with the entire property. If you need this location, it is satisfactory.
