While traveling over 2,000 miles in five days with a pregnant wife, sister, brother-in-law and their cat to visit the parents for Thanksgiving, we decided to stay in Memphis for a night's rest. I got a room at this hotel via Priceline, and it was not one of my better Priceline experiences for either quality of price. First of all, it is unclear how to get to this hotel from the freeway (you have to make a U-turn and go into a gated entrance), and there isn’t any signage to help one out. Late night check-in was efficient but not courteous. That being said, the located in a median between the lanes of a split highway is very safe and well lit. Most of the common areas were dirty, especially the stairways, and no carpet, fixtures, etc. seems to have been refreshed for at least 5-10 years. The double beds were comfortable but too small for me, a pregnant lady and a twenty pound feline. The carpet and furniture seemed dingy and there were unpainted repairs to the woodwork. While the bathroom seemed clean, I noticed that a few hairs (and not the ones found on your head) were somehow adhered to the ceiling, a fact I did not point out to my companions until we were back on the road to protect their gag reflexes. I have stayed in freeway motels that were classier than this place and do not know how Priceline rated it at 2.5-3 stars. I can say, however, that the wireless internet and TV worked fine and that we successfully sneaked the cat in and out without incident. I was disappointed with the room for the rate I paid and would have been really peeved if I had shelled out for rack rates.
