I will say the best thing going for this property is the location. We were able to walk to Beale St. in less than 5 min. We did this a couple of times, but at night we did see one pan handler who ask for change, nothing to aggressive though. The room (#1016) itself was fine, clean and pretty large.... More

I am staying here now for 2 days - it was by far the cheapest hotel in downtown Memphis so I wondered what it would be like. In short, it is like any other econolodge, basic in every way but if all you need is a room, it is fine. Location is particularly good - a block from everything .... More

We picked this hotel for the location. It is really old and they are doing their best and at one point I'm sure it was a Comfort Inn but as it's decayed the downgraded it to an Econolodge. Service is minimal. A little grubby throughout. Next time we'll pay more and stay elsewhere. There's a significant amount of street noise.

I was on a road trip in March 2012 (Tripadvisor only lets me select as far back as June '12) and booked into this Econo Lodge in Memphis primarily because it was cheap but also, as I knew from a previous visit to Memphis, it's only a few blocks over from Beale Street. Check in was easy. The rooms are... More

Although staying at an Econolodge sounds not too appealing to everyone, this is really a great place to stay in Memphis. Just a few blocks (walking distance!) from Beale Street with just 10$ parking on-site, there is no better deal in downtown Memphis. The room was spacious and clean. The staff was friendly and the check in went smooth. What... More

If I ever get to go back to Memphis again, I will probably stay here. The money I didn't spend on the hotel room I was only in to sleep was better spent on museums, clubs and BBQ. The room was clean, the staff were cheerful and helpful and it was a quick walk to everything. I am a middle-aged... More

Being greeted by a team of police swarming all over the lobby in the middle of a crime investigation perhaps wasn't the most salubrious of welcomes to the Memphis Econolodge, although all the flashing police lights out the front did make the hotel easy to find so, you know, swings and roundabouts. It's always slightly unnerving to think you may... More

My boyfriend and I are kicking off three months of travel with a road trip from Chicago to New Orleans. Memphis had always been on our must-see list but we were struggling to find anywhere remotely affordable and we picked this place based on the fact that it was cheap and downtown. After reading some of these reviews we were... More
