We read all of the comments before booking. We didn’t expect the pool to be open. We knew the elevators were broken. We adjusted our expectations before we arrived and were very grateful to have a clean room, very friendly and helpful staff and be in the best location for a quick Uber to The Peabody Hotel, The Bass Pro Shop and Beale Street. If you’re looking for a 5 Star Hotel this isn’t the one for you. If you’re looking for a comfortable bed and a hot shower at a fantastic price in a perfect location to enjoy some cool nearby attractions this is the place to stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The bedding was dirty. I asked the staff for clean sheets and pillow cases specifically. He did offer another room and it was just as dirty. The floor hadn’t been swept. The curtains were dry rotted, the air conditioning was good. To top it off, I fell down the stairs in the stair well. The paint that’s on the stairs is not the proper paint for floors. Trash and debris everywhere. Your online pictures do not match your rooms.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We booked a smoking room for one night when we got there and checked and put us in a room on the 3rd floor. I was told the elevators didn’t work my mother in-law can not walk very well and had to climb stairs to get to the room. We got to the room you had to give the door a hard push to get it open. The room itself was in need of updating not to mention the roaches crawling on the walls and tables for a smoking room there’s no ashtrays in the room I whet back down to get one and was given styrofoam cups to use. Even though it was a pass-through room on our way home, I would not recommend staying there on the other hand. The staff was decent.

After a long road trip, I decided to stay at this hotel based on the photos on their website; however, the actual condition of the rooms and the hotel bears no resemblance to those photos—the building looks like it could collapse at any moment. The hallways are filthy, and the rooms weren't thoroughly clean. Even for just a single night during a road trip, I wouldn't recommend it!

This place was a dump, the walls in the room had mold as well as the bathroom. It was supposed to be a smoke free room but the sheets had cigarette burns. Smelled horrible. We didn't stay there, we ended up getting another place for the night.
