Right next to the convention center, great for me. The trolley is only a dollar ($0.50 at lunch) and it goes to Beale Street and many other areas and restaurants. Bring correct change though, I only had a $5 bill and the driver rudely turned me away. Check your bill - there were a few extra charges on mine. They cheerfully and immediately took them off, but check carefully. Had a problem with housekeeping. They said they would come at 3 pm, but no show. No big deal but the next morning I started calling to make sure we'd get service, since the towels were piling up. After hearing all day that someone is coming, after lunch my wife was the maid across the hall. She said she would do our room next, then she disappeared. Never got any service until we went to the front desk. He immediately sent about 5 people to the room, I should have talked to him first and saved a lot of aggravation and time.
The concierge and bell staff were great, very helpful. We didn't eat at the restaurant, but had room service once. My wife is legally blind and couldn't read the bill, so she asked the server if the tip was included. She said no so my wife gave her a $5 tip for a $14 hamburger (neither of them had change). When I got back I saw the 20% service charge on the bill, and was told that included the tip. No big deal again, but we felt we were mislead.
