VERY inexpensive, right off of I-40, friendly staff. Clean room. Some stains on fixtures. But GREAT A/C. Great for sleepover and bath when on long driving trip. Great for Smokers too! I was allowed to smoke in the room.
This property was extremely clean and pretty close the the highway to hit downtown Memphis.
This place really surpassed expectations. My husband and I checked in here for a night away. We live in Memphis and needed a night to just hang out and watch HBO. We couldn't afford much so we didnt expect much. The outside was really nice. You could tell it had been renovated fairly recently and maintained. We got a king size smoking room. The furniture was a little dated, but the floors and walls had recently been done and it was clean. Thoroughly checked for bed bugs before getting comfy, none found. We want to do date nights like this again, and when we do, we will definitely be coming back here. Great service, great price, and great option for a quiet place to get away and chill.
This hotel was great. The owner was very nice. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable . The shower had amazing water pressure. The area was much safer than the last place in Memphis we stayed at. Will definitely stay again.
The room I got was OK until I went into the bathroom, Their was hair in the tub and dirt the room it self spelled with a very strong cat urine I sprayed air freshener and nothing would cover the smell it was a horrible stay, the lady at the front desk was and is very rude I'll never stay there again. Well OK I've been hear at the Memphis Inn for a few days and I really do like this place the rooms are nicer that most in the area the first night I check in when I posted the first part I've meet the house keepers and they work pretty hard at cleaning these rooms I tip my hat to them, I can't say my whole stay was bad, I would and will stay hear again.
Our stay at this motel was fabulous! The receptionist was super nice. Our room was clean! The bed was out of this world. We will definitely come back whenever we can and recommend to anyone! Oh and it's cheap!
The rooms are renovated and look great! I stay here whenever I am in Memphis. I live in The Great State of Texas but grew up in Memphis. I've stayed here many many times over the years and when I lived in Memphis and they are so much better than when I was living here. Great job guys! Very nice and comfortable rooms. I will continue to stay at the Memphis Inn EVERY single time I visit my hometown. I, absolutely, recommend the Memphis Inn. Clean, nice, modern Shane Aycock
It was so clean in a nice and quiet place. Loved it! Will be back again
