Django 1.0 Released 104
from the by-djove-they've-done-it dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Django is just a pleasure to work with. Congratulations to these guys for creating such a well thought-out and hugely productive framework. Now if only it would become more established and bulked up a bit so we could mostly ditch a certain other Enterprise Edition set of technologies...
It's too bad everyone and their dog are excited about Ruby on Rails, when a great platform like Django is out there as well.
I use Django on my own site, and CakePHP (a poor RoR clone) at work. While using PHP has advantages, CakePHP is really not anywhere near Django in terms of the ORM stuff and actually using your data in any complex way.
The one really great thing about Django is that it's consistent. There is usually one way of doing things, instead of a million different ways that apply in different situations.
Take a look at the Django tutorial:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/ [djangoproject.com]
And the Django book:
http://www.djangobook.com/ [djangobook.com]
I don't think you'll be sorry.
PS. And on the whole Python indentation=block thing... It's not perfect, but only use spaces and it won't be a problem.
Groovy for Grails http://grails.org/ [grails.org] which is based on Java/Hibernate/Spring is an excellent alternative to Django.
It's just about choosing the right tool for the job.
Seriously tho, Django is so much better than some of the other options (read:java!)
You're now comparing a framwork with a language. For a meaningful comparison, compare Django with Wicket.
It's not very surprising that new web frameworks are better than JSP, Struts or JSF. I want to know how they measure up to stuff like Wicket or the latest Tapestry.

How has the Supreme Court used different levels of judicial scrutiny for racial, ethnic, and gender classifications?
This Question is Closed
Best ResponseYou've already chosen the best response.0
- one year ago
The Court has developed three levels of judicial scrutiny (or classifications). 1. Most classifications that are reasonable (that bear a rational relationship to some legitimate governmental purpose) are constitutional. 2. Racial and ethnic classifications are inherently suspect: they arepresumed to be invalid and are upheld only if they serve a "compelling public interest" that cannot be accomplished in some other way. c. Classifications based on gender fit somewhere between reasonable and inherently suspect: gender classifications must bear a substantial relationship to an important legislative purpose (and is sometimes called "medium scrutiny").

Each is 1.3 x 3.6 inches (3.3 x 9.2 cm)

2) Werbekarte zur Weissenhofsiedlung, Stuttgart, 1927
3.9 x 5.5 inches (10 x 14 cm)
Willi Baumeister (German, 1889 – 1955) was a German painter, professor and typographer. He studied at the Royal Wurttemberg Academy of Fine Arts and went on to play a major role in German and European art as a whole. In 1933, Baumeister was denounced as a degenerate artist by the National Socialist Party. This lasted until 1945, and few succeeded as he did during this period, in producing such future-oriented new form and content. After 1945 Baumeister was seen as an advocate of Abstract art, and was as highly esteemed as he was intensely attacked. In the 1950s, he was awarded the Klimt-Honor by the Vienna Secession.

Film executives scoff at notion of '3D fatigue'
That in an extra-dimensional nutshell is how film distribution execs feel about recent signs that the ratio of 3D-to-2D grosses for pics has settled into a range just below that marked by early 3D releases when the format was a consumer novelty. They scoff at the notion of "3D fatigue" floated in a spate of media reports while acknowledging pricing may have outpaced demand for some family pics.
Some first took note of the situation when Disney's "Toy Story 3" -- which has rung up $635 million in worldwide boxoffice -- opened last month with a studio-estimated 60% 3D contribution. Just a few months earlier, Disney's "Alice in Wonderland" and DreamWorks Animation's "How to Train Your Dragon" had rung up a lustier two-thirds of their boxoffice in 3D auditoriums.
" 'Toy Story 3' may gross up to $400 million domestically," a top distribution exec at a rival studio noted. "To suggest anything is wrong with that makes no sense."
More Chicken Littles surfaced when Universal's July 9 opener "Despicable Me" bowed with an estimated 45% of its first-frame coin coming from 3D venues. But few industryites expected anything else in light of the pic's modest number of 1,551 3D theaters, a result of too many 3D pics in the marketplace and too few 3D screens available in the nation's movie theaters.
"Despite any lower 3D percentage, there's still considerable incremental gross advantage to both distributors and exhibitors," Universal distribution president Nikki Rocco said. "But I do love offering moviegoers the option of seeing a picture in either format. Having audiences be able to make a choice for the family is a good thing."
Paramount's July 1 release "The Last Airbender" boasted a similarly modest number of 3D locations while marking a 3D share of 55%. It's worth noting that the family fantasy bowed among broadly derisive reviews that were hardly an encouragement for parents to shell out extra for the pic's extra-dimensional version.
The 3D-to-2D gross decline follows the phenomenal 82% average 3D share marked by "Avatar" during its record theatrical run. But the Fox blockbuster -- virtually the only 3D release in the market for much of its run -- was an unusual mix of motion-capture animation and live action, and word quickly spread following its December debut that 3D was the way to see the epic fantasy.
By contrast, pics such as Warner Bros.' April opener "Clash of the Titans" -- which enjoyed a mere 52% 3D contribution -- drew widespread criticism for its low-budget approach to converting the pic from 2D to 3D before release.
The industry screen crunch is expected to linger as Hollywood continues to ramp up the number of 3D pics hitting multiplexes while theater operators struggle to outfit screens for 3D capability fast enough.
As for the pricing question, exhibitors privately acknowledge they continue to assess what the market will bear, with family pics clearly more resistant to aggressive 3D upcharges.
DreamWorks Animation chief Jeffrey Katzenberg has backed exhibs' desire to push the premium-pricing envelope, but the marketplace does have its limits. AMC ordered managers at a few of its New York multiplexes to chop their $20 admission price on DWA's "Shrek Forever After" after the unprecedented high price drew media attention.
Wall Street analysts following exhibition stocks seem to be taking the adjustment in 3D contributions in stride.
"While recent articles have painted 'declining' 3D share trends as the culprit for recent boxoffice woes, we place the blame squarely on mediocre film content," Piper Jaffray analyst James March wrote in a research report circulated Wednesday

News in Brief: Blossom Dearie, Friendly Fires, Craig Wedren, Super! Mon Amour, Willie Isz
By Ryan Dombal on February 9, 2009 at 7:20 p.m. EST
-- Jazz and cabaret great Blossom Dearie passed away from natural causes on Saturday, February 7 in New York City, the Associated Press reports. She was 82. During her 60+ year career, she contributed to a Parisian vocal group, recorded for Verve and Capitol, and sang songs for Schoolhouse Rock! including the intriguingly eerie "Figure 8". Random indie rock connection: In the 1940s, Blossom Dearie sang with bandleader Alvino Rey; Rey was the grandfather of the Arcade Fire's Win and Will Butler.
-- Feel that hype! Disco-punk upstarts Friendly Fires will try for the British Invasion thing with fellow UK rockers White Lies when they embark on a joint U.S. tour, sponsored by NME, starting in late March. Friendly Fires are currently making their way through Europe; I have yet to hear a disparaging remark about their live show.
-- Shudder to Think front man Craig Wedren is set to the put the "art" in art-rock this week when he plays a couple unique NYC shows. On February 12, he'll take to Columbia's Miller Theater with composer Jefferson Friedman to a new chamber piece they co-wrote, entitled "Love Songs", for the first time. The following day will find him downtown at (Le) Poisson Rouge, playing material by John Cage, Shudder to Think, and Louis Andriessen with both his band and the American Contemporary Music Ensemble. Think brainy valentine.
-- Genre-skipping producer-rapper-singer Jneiro Jarel has paired up with Goodie Mob MC Khujo Goodie to form Willie Isz, a psychedelic new hip-hop outfit. The pair's 12-track debut album, Georgiavania, will come out April 21 on Lex and feature guest vocals from TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe on a song called "Gawn Jet". Get a taste of this indie Gnarles Barkley-type project at the duo's MySpace.
-- Super! Mon Amour, only the most chic indie mini festival in Paris, will be held at various locations within the city February 11-22. Artists including Black Lips, Ponytail, Gang Gang Dance, Handsome Furs, Chairlift, Radioclit, and Women will play for the disaffected, cigarette-chomping masses.

AACTE and MCEC Announce Partnership to Enhance Education and Support for Military-Connected Students
For interviews, contact: Lisa Johnson
(April 12, 2011, Washington, D.C., and Harker Heights, Texas) – Today, First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden launched their new campaign to increase public support for U.S. service members and their families. In conjunction with the campaign's kick-off, the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE) and the Military Child Education Coalition (MCEC) have announced "Operation Educate the Educators," a partnership to prepare educators and develop school cultures that are more supportive of children in military families.
AACTE is a national alliance of 800 higher-education-based educator preparation programs that aims to enhance PK-12 student learning through high quality professional development of teachers and all educators. MCEC is a non-profit organization that works to identify and increase awareness of challenges for military-connected children and implement programs to provide quality education opportunities for them. Together, the organizations will seek to enlist 100 colleges and universities to partner with PK-12 schools on the effort by the end of the 2011-2012 academic year. They will then work with those institutions to infuse into pre-service educator preparation tools that meet the needs of military-connected children.
"There are many obstacles that children of military families encounter, and those can affect their classroom performance," said Sharon P. Robinson, president and CEO of AACTE. "AACTE is committed to helping our members to incorporate the knowledge and tools into their programs that will produce educators who know how to reach and support these students effectively."
"This is a ground breaking partnership and we look forward to this collaboration that will deepen support for our nation's military-connected children," said Dr. Mary Keller, president and CEO of MCEC.
In addition to PK-12 schools, Operation Educate the Educators will establish comprehensive partnerships between institutions of higher education and military academies or senior military service institutions. AACTE and MCEC will aim to develop a research agenda to increase knowledge of how schools, colleges and departments of education (SCDE) could best prepare school personnel to support children in military families. Other related associations and organizations will also be convened for engagement and potential to expand the program in future academic years.
Further information on Operation Educate the Educators is forthcoming. For the latest updates, visit www.aacte.org or www.militarychild.org.
About AACTE
The American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education is a national alliance of educator preparation programs dedicated to the highest quality professional development of teachers and school leaders in order to enhance PK-12 student learning. The 800 institutions holding AACTE membership represent public and private colleges and universities in every state, the District of Columbia, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and Guam. AACTE's reach and influence fuels its mission of serving learners by providing all school personnel with superior training and continuing education. For more information on AACTE, visit www.aacte.org.
About MCEC
The Military Child Education Coalition was established in 1998 to help military-connected children meet the challenges that frequent transitions pose during their educational years. The MCEC provides transition services for students, parent workshops, information resources, and counseling resources to help military children and families thrive in challenging times.

My worst is when a player destroys the generator right away in Infected Space Elite, two of us are science so we are able to hold back the spheres, destroy the other generators, then destroy the transformer, cube, and the spheres...all while the idiot ran to the other side and destroyed a generator there as well. Some people are determined to grief others.

We almost always get the optional, if someone goes early we just run in and save the guys. Just the other day we beat the first boss with less than 2 minutes left and still got the optional. It was really fun, at the end we had to run past 2 groups of borg and into the room to save the last two with 2 seconds left.

We never rez anyone who is a liability and will only make the mission harder. Fleet names don't matter.

ID Please with Question
I am just starting my Bromeliad Collection. Early on I purchased these two unmarked plants at a local store. Both of them are beautiful. The first with the tall red spike is 13" tall by 23" wide, including the spiked flower it is 33" tall. I would love to know what type it is as it has two pups emerging out of the center of the cup right next to the spike. It has a very smooth leaf with no sharp edges. In all my reading I can not find a plant where the pups come out of the center of the plant. Big Guess Here: a Vriesia Splendens
The next one is 10" tall and 10 " wide. The leaf does have small sharp edges. It is beautiful and starting to pup. It looks like the pup is emerging on a very short stolen of about 1/2 inch. I love to research but can not find these plants. I though this one may be a Aechmea Zebrina?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Hi everyone
Catter44 - You could be correct with your ID of the first plant, I would guess either Vr. splendens or Vr 'Splenriet'.
Your second plant look to be an Aechmea chantinii or an Ae. chantinii hybrid.
You can now check those names against the pictures and text in the Photo Index of the FCBS site at http://www.fcbs.org/pictures.htm or the Bromeliad Cultivar Register at http://registry.bsi.org/
All the best, Nev.
Catter44- Nev is correct. Your second plant is almost certainly an Aechmea chantinii. It is a fairly variable species, with some varieties exhibiting dense banding, sparse banding, no banding, and varying colors of scape bracts from orange to red, and pink. There are also some exciting variegated and albomarginate cultivars! Nev has given you some excellent websites to start your research.
Where in Ohio do you live?
I live in Farmington Hills, MI
I have a website about the bromeliads that I grow, primarily hybrids that I grow from seed.
Here is a link that might be useful: Paul's Bromeliads
Well, thank you to the both of you for responding with such wonderful information and pointing out further sites for me to explore! I now am certain that I have a Vr. Splenriet who is producing two more pups in the center rosette. I was so excited about this that I went back to the store where I purchased this plant and bought another one who is producing three pups in the center cup. Fascinated by this but wonder how in the world to divide. You sure can not find much information on line about Vrieseas. I did find quite a bit of info. on aechmeas. I also ordered a book today that was recommended by the Hawaiin Bromelian Society for beginners. I am excited. I have a small green house attached to my house and I have collected orchids, Tillandisas and stag horn ferns for awhile but I am new to many of the other bromeliads other than Tillies. Paul I jumped over to your site-WOW-wonderful. I will spend some time tonight looking over your beautiful site. I love to read and research so if you have any good books to recomend or other sites to share, please let me know. I do not like to lose a plant so I really try to have all the info. I can on them. I live near Columbus, OH and I am fortunate to have a southern exposure sun room for my plants. I imagine like MI, we do not have a lot of sun shine in the winter. Before I had so many plants, I would more them around the room following the sun in the winter. Now I have too many to move but they do pretty good. We will see what happens this winter with all my new bromeliad purchases. I need to stop.....but just can not seem to say no...Thanks again to the both of you, Cat.
Once you get started exploring those 2 sites, you'll find that you can spend hours browsing through all the photos. It can get rather addictive! The link on fcbs.org - Book Reviews- can give you a good sense of the books that have been written, although many of the books may be difficult to come by. Another website that is gaining traction is a Facebook group- Planet Bromeliad. I've been following that page for about a year, and make an occasional post there as well. Membership in the Bromeliad Society International includes the 'Journal of the Bromeliad Society', a 72 page publication which is printed quarterly, plus access to back issues going all the way back to 1951!
Many of the "foliage" type Vrieseas tend to pup in the center, or midway from the center to the outermost leaves, and I agree, it can be messy to split things up, particularly if you try to do it too soon. There's not an absolute need to divide your Vr. 'Splenreit'. It can look impressive if you have 3 mature plants in the same pot, especially if they happen to bloom at the same time. If you want to divide it, I like to wait until all or most of the leaves from the mother plant (below the pups) have dried up and been removed. At that point, the pups should be nearing maturity, but you'll find that they are easy (or easier) to separate at that time. Hope this helps. It sounds like your greenhouse is in danger of being completely overtaken by bromeliads!

Calling Out The Silver Experts
A couple of questions:
1) Silver item marked "VIETNAM ~ 0.900 ~ TIEN-BO".
2) I assume that 0.900 is a lower standard than the usual .925 (Sterling). So, if 0.900 is not considered Sterling (which I assume it isn't) is it then just considered "Silver"?
I remember lindac mentioning that if it wasn't marked "Sterling" then it wasn't, but I often see numbers in the .800 range that are marketed as "Sterling".
Still learning from the members on this board :)
800....means it's 800 parts out of 1000 silver....and I assume with vietnamese silver it works the same.
Sterling is a measure of fineness....quality, established hundreds of years ago. It has enough copper for the item not to be so soft that it won't stand up and enough silver to be lovely,polish well and have some value. It's a corruption of the word "Easterling" which is what the word was for some early people who set a standard for silversmithing.
Early American silver was "coin quality" which is 900 parts silver. It looks a little grayer compared side by side with sterling....but as they say...I wouldn't kick it out of bed!! LOL!
I have a wonderful old soup ladle, I think it's Polish...and monogrammed 1909 and marked 800. It is noticeable less fine that other sterling or coin pieces I have....but it sits in my utensil crock, and I love to think of all the soup it must have ladled out.
Like Lindac said, Sterling is a fineness - or Standard - used in the US, England, & other places. Different countries uses different standards, i.e. .800, .900, .950. Regardless, each standard represents a silver alloy (often referred to as 'solid' silver) as opposed to electroplated silver which only has a micro coating of silver & no precious metal value.
People often refer to .800, .900 etc as sterling because that's the only way they know to differeniate solid silver from plated ware when describing it - almost everyone knows that sterling equals precious metal. The price difference in the 2 alloys is marginal - workmanship on the finished piece is a different story!

how about a simple 20 second wait before you can lockin a champion?
so many games where someone calls a lane only to have to change because someone instalocked.
20 seconds would make a big difference i think. plenty of time to snuff out the people who refuse to be teamplayers.

Not sure my Plummies know it's time to power down.
it's 92* .5 mile inland!! My plummies are in heaven and asking for watering. My U. of H. orange has 5 new claws on her; I hope they all last thru the dormant season. My white and yellows are still firing on all cylinders. JJ's Incognito has been flowering since May!! Inca Gold is still showing off, Samoan Fluff too.
All, but an unrooted cutting of Lurline, survived the growing season! I'd say they all even thrived. I'm getting a bit nervous about keeping them all alive thru their dormant season. This is my first year with all my babies and I'm feeling a bit mother hen-ish. =)
Got any tips n tricks for coastal dormancy?
I plan to keep all my plumeria in the ground, and dig up if there is a threat of a freeze. This is the first year my plants are large enough to bare root store. I plan to keep them in the ground, until we get a freeze warning. Then I will dig them up and store in the carport in the cardboard boxes that will be already in place. If you are close to the water, you have extra protection. My friends that live 5 miles inland had 3 freezes last year, I did not have any. I just need to be sure I am down there, so I can do this. The last freeze I had was 2-6-2010. I covered all my tropical plants with sheets and bungie cords, but forgot to turn off the sprinkler system. What an idiot! Barbra
I hope that story gets funnier and easier to tell as the years tick by, Barbra. We've been down into the low 30's just once in recent years and I've got a plan for that, if it happens again, I'll bring all my pots in (30ish) and line em up on wee-wee pads in my upstairs living room. 2 walls of that room are glass doors, so it functions as a greenhouse quite nicely. Except for the hardwood floors, hence the wee-wee pads. it's not the slickest of winter time storage but it'll hav'ta do in a cold snap.
There is something good that came out of that story. I lost all my NOID plumeria, but I found the Plumeria Forum when I was looking for a place to buy new plants. Someone recommended Florida Colors, I was able to replace my plants with named plumeria. I did not know anything about rooting cuttings, or making plumeria soil then, the rest is just history. I have learned so much, and meet such wonderful people on this forum. They always say God always leaves a window open.. Buy the way, I think your winter plan storage plan is great. You would not have to remove the leaves and they will still grow because of the natural light. Barbra

Special Correspondent
JAIPUR: In compliance with a court directive, the police on Monday registered a criminal case against the former Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje and five others in connection with the Deendayal Upadhyay Trust land scam. All of them have been accused of cheating, criminal conspiracy and breach of trust.
According to police sources, the first information report was registered at Gandhi Nagar police station here after receiving the orders of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate H.S. Sisodia passed on Friday. The Special Public Prosecutor had assured the court that its directions "will be carried out in toto."
The Crime Branch of the Criminal Investigation Department would probe the matter. The case pertains to allotment of 7,693 square metres of land at a prime location in the Civil Lines area here to the trust, headed by Ms. Raje, at a concessional rate of five per cent of the the market price that prevailed in July 2006 during the Bharatiya Janata Party regime.The case has been registered under Sections 420 (cheating), 409 (criminal breach of trust by a public servant or by banker, merchant or agent) and 120-B (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code. The offences under Sections 420 and 409 are cognisable and non-bailable, and punishable with a maximum prison term of seven and 10 years, respectively.
Besides Ms. Raje, the accused named in the FIR are the former Jaipur Mayor and BJP MLA Ashok Parnami, the former Rajasthan BJP president Lalit Kishore Chaturvedi, the former Minister Pratap Singh Singhvi, the former Rajasthan Housing Board Chairman Ajay Pal Singh and the then Jaipur Development Authority (JDA)Commissioner D.B. Gupta.
The court gave the directions to police on a complaint filed by Sriganganagar-based lawyer Srikrishna Kukkar, who alleged open violation of the JDA rules and regulations by Ms. Raje and the others. He also sought seizure of the trust's bank accounts.
Earlier on November 10, 2006, another magistrate directed the police to register an FIR and launch an investigation but the order was not complied with.
The city police took refuge under Section 156 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, which empowers police officers to investigate cognisable offences on their own without a court order.
The scam came to light in late 2006 when Congress leader Sushil Sharma filed a public interest writ petition before the Jaipur Bench of the Rajasthan High Court. The JDA told the court that the issue did not exist any longer as the trust had decided to return the contentious plot of land.
The land, valued at Rs. 50 crore, was allotted to the trust for Rs. 65 lakh on July 4, 2006, before it was registered on August 20, 2006. The High Court then ordered that all documents relating to the application, allocation and cancellation be made available on oath.
The criminal case was registered hot on the heels of a letter written by the former Vice-President Bhairon Singh Shekhawat to Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, asking him to probe the charges levelled by the Congress during its election campaign that the Vasundhara Raje government was involved in corruption to the tune of Rs. 22,000 crore.

TravelPod Member ReviewsResidence Inn Memphis Downtown
This is a nice hotel a few short blocks from the exciting part of downtown Memphis (Beale St.). We were able to see the Streetcar (which ran in front of the hotel) from the window of our two-bedroom, two bath suite (Room 308). Lots of space for my family of four. My wife and I slept in one room, my daughter had her own bedroom and my son pulled out the sofa-sleeper and slept in the living room.
Hotel was quiet - I didn't hear a peep from other hotel visitors.
We used valet parking for $16 per night but getting to and from car was not real smooth as the parking on the street left for only one spot for valet and if more than one car needed valet at the same time it was tough to get in there. But the valets worked quick.
The furniture and walls in the hotel room was dated. I'm not sure if the goal was to keep the retro, historic feel of this hotel in a building built in the 1920s, but it looks like the furniture was cheap second hand stuff. I would note that it was not worn out, just old looking. The chairs in the living room looked like they came from the set of the Brady Bunch.
I have no complaints about the cleanliness of the room.
Staff was friendly and personable. Free breakfast was a plus.

Historical Traveler Reviews Residence Inn Memphis Downtown
Loved the hotel location
We stayed at the RESIDENCE INN APRIL 14 - 17, 2005. The hotel room was really clean. The staff at the hotel were friendly and kind, and would go out
of there way to help you. The breakfast was nice. It had eggs, sausage, oatmeal, cereal, bagels, muffins, toast, fruit, juice,milk, coffee and tea. The hotel also has a wonderful top floor patio that has a hot tub, gas grill that the hotel guests can use to cook out on and chairs and tables. it has a great view of the Mississippi River from up there.
The hotel is right on the trolly line on Main Street and a block a way from
The Peabody Hotel if you wants to see the ducks. Beale Street was only five blocks away and it was a safe walk at night.
I would highly recommend staying at this Residence Inn. We are already making plans to go back to Memphis and we are going to stay at this hotel.
Would definitely stay every time
We stayed here when we came to town for the grizzlies/heat basketball game. The hotel was in a good location, 5 blocks from the FedEx Forum, 3 blocks from Beale Street. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, from the valet to the lady that takes care of the breakfast buffet. The bed was comfortable, the room was a nice size, and the ammenities (free dvd rentals, rooftop grill, pool tables) were a definite plus. This one definitely goes on our list.
The only pick
This has to be one of the best hotels that I have stayed. The accommodations were splendid. They offer billards downstairs for free, an outside grill on the roof, a DVD player in every room (guest can check out movies for free), and much more. I'm from Memphis and did not know about this property until I looked on trip advisor's site. I don't plan on staying at any other place when I visit home. The location is prime and is in walking distance to all of the hot spots downtown; even the shopping, according to my wife and mother-in-law!
Lovely art deco lobby
Nice location. Large, clean rooms complete with kitchenette. Helpful staff. The best muffins and donuts I've ever had at a hotel. During the business week an evening snack is also included.
The Residence Inn Memphis was in an incredible location, right on the trolley line, a nice walk to Beale Street (but far enough away to be able to sleep!), a few walk to Rendezvous (THE place for ribs!) and next door to another fabulous restaurant, McEwan's on Monroe. The staff was courteous and helpful and the rooms were spacious, brand new, exceptionally clean with comfortable temps. The bed was incredibly comfortable and there was no street noise to keep you awake.
The free breakfast buffet items were cold or not refilled on the day we tried it and it was only staffed by one poor soul who couldn't keep up with the busy crowd, but other than that the place was absolutely excellent!
The parking is right next door and for self-park you only pay $5 each time you leave. I believe valet parking is $15 with unlimited in/out privileges (plus tips).
Be sure to check out the rooftop at night....gorgeous view of the city/river.
Nice hotel, great location
We stayed in the 2 BR suite and found it to be very clean, new, comfortable; granite bathrooms, comfortable bed, much nicer than I expected given my visits to other Residence Inns. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful, warm breakfast was good. Hotel is nicer than it seems from the picture. Close to everything.I would definitely stay here again
Nice hotel
Needed a hotel that would allow dogs in Memphis area and this was hard to find so we were pleased that the Residence Inn would accomodate us. We were told that there would be a $100 non-refundable fee for the dogs and in the room it states that, plus an additional $20 per night per dog. That raises the room rate substantially. Additionally, there are no nearby grassy areas for the dogs to allow for quick potty breaks. You have to walk a few blocks, which doesn't seem like a problem until it is the middle of the night and it is dark out. That's a huge thumbs down from us. This is the first hotel we have stayed in with our dogs (and we travel frequently with them) that offers a sign for the door that says "Pets in Room". I really like that touch! We stayed in a large "exception suite" with a raised sleeping area. This is a nice sized room for two people, but with two adults, one 10 year old boy, and 2 dogs, I'm not so sure. Small galley style kitchen, dining area, desk, high speed internet access (via cable in room; wireless available in public areas only), fold out queen sized sofa bed, 2 dressers, nice bathroom area with in wall hair dryer. Breakfast buffet was nice with French toast, sausage, eggs, (cheese and salsa available), make your own waffles, cereal, oatmeal, fresh fruit, yogurt, milk, juice, coffee/tea/hot chocolate, and an assortment of bread, bagels, muffins, and danishes. The seating area fills up quickly and we noticed some security guards (4?) eating at the buffet --- I don't think they are staying here. The hearth area where the buffet is has a fireplace and tvs and there is also a billiards room, exercise room (3 or 4 treadmills, etc.), and a hot tub on the roof with a really nice view. In all honesty, if I had not been traveling with our dogs, I probably would not have chosen the Residence Inn, but since they did allow us to stay with our dogs, I do appreciate them and their hotel. We ordered from a local restaurant (Westy's) thanks to the suggestion of Tony from Guest Services who arranged with the restaurant that we could pay for the meal by credit card over the phone. Service was good for the level of hotel we were in, I cannot put my finger on what more I would want or need to make it better. Probably just the whole thing with the fees for dogs could be different.
We stayed here for one night on our way to Florida. When we walked in we were plesantly surprised by the room. The bathroom was roomy and the bed was very comfortable. I wish we could have enjoyed it more. We were there to check out Beale Street and were gone the next morning. Also had a nice breakfast buffet in the morning, complimentary. It was a little higher priced ($150) but it was worth it being downtown. We will definetly stay there again if we are in Memphis again!
Very Nice!
We've been to Memphis several times and stayed at different downtown hotels, but this place is the best we've seen. It's a brand new hotel in an old historic building. Beautiful lobby, rooms, furnishings. Everything you need is in the suite. Wonderful beds & pillows! Great hot complimentary breakfast. Right on the trolley line. Only 3-4 blocks to Beale Street. We will definitely stay here again.
Great New-Old Hotel
Wow, where do I start! This hotel is great. We stayed this weekend and will definately be staying again. The hotel has just opened in the old William Len Hotel which is on the National Register of Historic Places. The lobby has been restored to its former glory while the guest rooms are all new. You have the best of both worlds. We had a great view of the river and Main Street. The location is super. Right off of main and a block from Autozone Park and a couple of blocks from Beale Street. There are several great restaurants within one block. The staff was great!!! They were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was a little slow but I'm sure a new hotel has a few kinks to iron out. You will not be sorry if you try this one!

Unfortunately for the rest of the parks patrons we weren't exactly quiet so we cleared the pool area very quickly.

There was a singer that did beautiful Elvis impersonations and a gentleman in the audience also did a lovely song. The food was very flavourful and we sampled the local beer which was light and refreshing.
But now I must sleep as we want to take the Graceland tour in the morning.

It was a guided tour at Sun, the tour guide was adorable, and we got to stand in the spot that Elvis stood on as he recorded his first album. Chris Isaak also stood on that spot for the recording of his last album, so "swoon".

After dinner we went for a walk to Beale street and then
back to the same bar that we went to last night. The bar was much
less crowded, but there was live music and good beer at good prices,
so i had a few drinks, listened to the music and talked to people.
When that bar closed we went to BB kings, where there was more live

the hotel and went to bed.
