I planned to stay in Memphis for 2 nights. I pulled into the parking lot and there appeared to be an abandoned building next to the inn. I checked in and figured I'd walk around a little, I was surrounded by beggars as soon as I stepped onto the street. About a block from the inn is a bus terminal with all sorts of folks lurking about. I decided that I wasn't going to feel safe walking in this area at night so I turned around, went back to the inn office and checked out. I figured I would have to pay for my first night since I didn't provide 24-hours notice but I'd get the second night back - wrong. The desk cleric, while very nice, told me flat out lies for why she couldn't refund the second night. I didn't argue, I just walked out, Let me add, the cleric didn't seem too surprised that I was checking out. The after-dark safe areas in Memphis are a few blocks. This inn may be close to the safe area but it is clearly not in that safe area!
