It was very difficult to get to this hotel. Our GPS kept on wanting us to go through Main Street, which is for pedestrians and the trolley only. Entry is from Front street. After turning around and around, we get to the hotel hoping for valet. None that week. We were sent to park on our own in a building on Front street and given a code to go in and out. In my frazzled state, I could not understand the instructions the receptionist was giving me. In the end, he came out and pointed to the building. No fee for that. However, they didn't have large luggage carriers, and as we were traveling for a long time and staying 4 days, we had to do 2 trips with it to transfer all of our luggages. The bar was closed. The room was in the historic Kress building, so we had to cross over to that building from the reception. It was a large suite, with 2 queen beds on one side, half a wall, and a trundle bed on the other side. The room was very confortable. The beds were confortable and so were the linens. Irritants - too much light through bathroom doors! When someone would go to the bathroom, the light shone in my face the whole time even though they closed the door. It was pretty annoying, mostly at night when it woke me up. Also, under his trundle bed was a whole bunch of junk left by preceeding occupants. It was never cleaned while we were there. From the description online, I thought there would be a sofa bed and a trundle bed. Just a trundle bed in our room. We also had a small fridge. We appreciated how, without us asking, they left a bag of towels attached to the doorknob on day 2. Breakfast was OK, the room was fairly small, and a homeless man kept on knocking in the window in the morning. The breakfast attendant did what she could to push him away though. There was waffles, eggs, meats, oatmeal, cereals and breads. We really enjoyed the hard boiled eggs in that location. The hotel is very well located, on Main street and walkable to Beale Street or the Pyramid. The university is right there too. Staff was OK.
Very Good
