I checked in and keyed into my room fine. I'm aware a $60 hotel room isn't going to be excellent, but what I got was beyond awful. The room had one light fixture, in the far corner, leaving the entire room dimly lit which I can live with. I walked into the bathroom and noticed a huge hole in the wall. Fine, I can deal with that ($60 room, something has to be wrong with it). I looked down and saw a dead roach, which to be honest didn't deter me right away (again, the price offset this). I checked the towels; they were all dirty and folded - clearly they had not been washed and were just put back into place, which is fine since I used them to plug up the wall anyway. The bathtub/shower did not work; there was no way to get the shower to turn on, so I was forced to take a bath and I could not even do that because there was no plug for the water. I left the bathroom and there was a live roach crawling on the wall which I immediately killed.
I left my room and came back at night. I went to bed and woke up about an hour and a half later at around 2AM. I felt disgusting like some insects were also in the bed (the bedsheets were visibly dirty and had holes from cigarette burns). I felt so uncomfortable that I remained awake, standing on my floor (occasionally leaning against a desk), and watched television until my car service for the airport came at 4AM. At that point I honestly felt it was not even worth it to go back to bed (spotting a third roach solidified this idea). The price you save from this hotel is by no means worth it. Book a hotel somewhere in the downtown area, near Beale Street. I thought it'd be better to be next to Graceland and the airport but the price simply was not worth it (other hotels in the area looked equally seedy and disgusting).
