It might be the many people who didn't have hot water in their rooms for their 0500 show. Or it could have been the people who spent 10 minutes trapped in their elevator going between floors 8-12. Or it could have been the guy who got his keycard stolen out of his pocket and had his room ransacked. Or it could have been the guy who had his room broken into in the middle of the night and had his wallet stolen. Or there was that house keeper who gave her bf the master key and he was going room to room picking through personal belongings. Or it's that the hotel is a rundown piece of garbage. And there's nothing that says 'this is a safe place' like a van driver picking you up with heat strapped to his hip.

All of that is completely irrelevant because as of early January, TSA is going to stop flying to MEM.

Arguably the worst hotel we stayed at. Nothing about it was good. The front desk didn't even know where the vending machines were. The bonus was the long waits for the van to actually get to experience the great Mem holiday inn.

I've had trouble with the hot water but no other problems. The location was cool though.

Exactly. The new hotel is far out of town and nothing around. Be careful what you ask for. Not saying the Holiday Inn was all that great, but at least it was right around the corner from Beale St and downtown. Not in the middle of nowhere in Germantown.

I've seen the cba has a provision for long hotels. Is that option every exercised?

Also, Beale St is a tourist trap. I preferred Main.
