You get what you pay for. This is a motel situated in downtown Memphis, it is extremely handy for access to Beale street and all that downtown Memphis has to offer. The lady on reception was helpful and pleasant. There is no dining room just some pastries and coffee in reception for breakfast so we went to Dennys just up... More

Stayed at the motel for 3 nights to use primarily as a base between visiting Beale St and other sites. Location-wise this was perfect. I couldn't find any other motels at this price that were this close to the action. There are plenty of more upmarket hotels nearby but if anything they are in noisier areas and you are looking...

This small motel style hotel is absolutely perfect for downtown. It's actually very quiet, and the beds/bathrooms are spotless. Beale street is just a few blocks over and walking back is completely fine. The reception girl was helpful and friendly. Better than expected; if you don't need full hotel style services in Memphis this place is absolutely perfect. Breakfast is... More

I was hesitant to book this motel during our road trip to Memphis from some of the reviews I had read, but I'm so glad we stayed there as it was a good little motel in a great spot. Walking distance to Beale St, the room was clean and had a comfortable bed. It was relatively quiet compared to other... More

Despite the neighbourhood looking a bit run down this hotel is very well maintained and is safe. Our room appeared to be recently renovated, was always very clean and we slept well. Beale street and FedEx forum are literally 5 minutes walk away and we were not worried about walking back in the dark as you pass a major police... More

This downtown motel is the perfect solution to stay in Memphis without spending a fortune. It is the most suitable solution if you are traveling by car, it offers a complimentary parking as a decent breakfast. The double room we stayed was quite clean but tiny, no room for our luggages. The bathroom was recently renewed and very comfortable. Good... More

The downtown Memphis hotels proved to be quite pricy and we chose for this budget option. Its location is its primary draw at is still within walking distance from the action at a reasonable price. The downside is that the rooms and bathroom is bit worn and there is quite a lot of noise from other rooms. It was also... More
