While you can’t beat the Beale Street location, this Westin is pricey for what are now dated-looking rooms, some of which can get loud (ask for a room off Beale Street if you want quiet). As well, service is lackluster and the on-site restaurant feels like Vegas circa 1990. Still, the beds are plush (Westin's signature "Heavenly Bed," with their excellent pillowtop mattresses) and the showers and tubs oversized. They also don’t charge for small pets, which is a key perk for some travelers. Bottom line: you’re going to spend $275+, there are better options downtown.
