Came for a conference and the location is close to Beale street, only a few blocks. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are not great. The water turned brown for some others in my conference when showering. One poor woman got locked in her bathroom for an hour before she could get help. The food in the restaurant was just OK and service was slow. There is a sushi bar in the hotel but I didn't go. There was a motocycle rally of some sort and it was soooo lound that the hotel put ear plugs on the bedside table. Panhandlers were on the streets. Walgreens and the trolly system are within walking distance. Can only get bottled water from the bar in the hotel. There are horse drawn carriages on the streets in the evening. There is coyote ugly and hard rock cafe on Beale which is within walking distance. We were going to go to Graceland but it was $30 admission. Cab from airport to here was $30 each way so I recommend a rental car. The mall down the street is basically closed, only 3 stores so don't go. No close shopping except for small stores. The ducks at the Peabody hotel is right across the street so you can go see that. The peabody has shops in it but pricey items, $200 jeans etc. I would say if you want to be near Beale it's a good choice but not for someone looking for luxery. Conference facilities were ok. Staff were very attentive and nice.
