Worst Hotel of the Trip
On a trip by car from Washington DC to Memphis, we stayed at eight different Best Western motels and hotels. This was by far the worst of the lot. We had booked in advance and stood to lose our deposit otherwise we would probably have gone elsewhere having been greeted by the depressing reception area, overpowering smell of cooking curry and having to ring a bell several times to get any attention from a reluctant receptionist. The elevator was scruffy, but to be fair the room was clean and well-enough appointed, although at lunch time curry fumes percolated up from the reception area below.
Breakfast was minimal in a very small room. Another guest said "Best Western should be ashamed of this place!" There was no coffee. Vigorous ringing of the bell eventually secured the attention of the reluctant receptionist, who said that it might take some time.
Do not be fooled by the blandishments in the advert which state that the location provides easy access for the sights of Memphis. It is 10 miles out of the city along a very congested freeway.
