The Westin Memphis Beale Street
Hotel was right across the street from where the Grizzlies play and the Rock and Soul museum. A block away from Beale St. and .4 miles from the Civil Rights Museum. Only had breakfast from the attached restaurant but the service was friendly and fast and the Shrimp and grits were amazing. Would stay ...
