My best friend and I (two ladies) stayed because of its location to Beale Street. It's a short 4 blocks down and we felt safe the whole time. There is a chilis and Denny's right up the block (between hotel and Beale) so there are plenty of people around and never felt unsafe. The hotel check it was easy. They even let us see a room before we paid because we were unsure after some reviews. The elevators are fine and take you up to the top to your room. Our room was very nice and clean including the bathroom/shower.
