Our stay at this hotel was very good. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was nice and clean. The breakfast was good. Although not in the most scenic part of town it is a great value for the money. We felt safe and secure. It is close downtown without the high prices, and it is also close... More

The GenX hotel has great service, great breakfast and great housekeeping staff. Although far walking distance from Beale st and downtown, taxis are cheap. Go with Arrow Cab. Feels like home no matter where you are traveling from.

These reviews about great safety and fantastic service are total fakes. This place ruined my birthday. I work in the hotel business and ive never stayed in such a place. The location is in the bad part of Memphis. Random people trudge through the parkung lot late at night. Feels unsafe. Upon arrival we had a reservation saved under and... More

We were a little skeptical of this hotel after seeing the area but we were pleasantly surprised. The lot and hotel were plenty safe (we left our car in the lot during the day and took the trolley and never had a problem). The hotel has been renovated nicely and the room was comfortable and tidy. The hotel staff was... More

I pulled into this great little in town gem after driving 500 miles. It was clean and quiet. My room was spacious and well appointed. Although the hotel is located in the medical/university area, it is a short trolley ride to downtown and Beale Street. Equally convenient 10 minute drive to graceland. Free breakfast is much appreciated as there are... More

Whe I arrived I had a terrible headache and the staff hurried my registration so that I could get to my room and relax. The room was comfortable and I had the best nights sleep I had all week. The morning staff was super friendly. This was a great experience and I will definately go back.

This passed my test. I have no idea what 'crack house' the people on here were talking about. But I will say in or outside of any city, you have to take precautions and not leave temptations laying around your car that make people want to smash and grab. The whole parking lot had a huge iron gate around it.... More

My wife and I stayed at Best Western Gen X because it was close to her daughter's apartment. The hotel was small and unique, and the staff was very pleasant. The standout employee was Linda, who was a very hard worker (in constant motion!), and she was aware of what needed to be taken care of in order for the... More
