Super Friendly and helpful staff!
I called from the airport and they managed to get my room ready ahead of normal check in time as I had hours to wait otherwise. Rooms were clean and well stocked. My only complaint was that the air conditioner did not seem to remove the humidity as well as I would have liked. I had an issue with the iron and was brought a brand new one in the box within minutes. Every staff member I came across was super friendly and helpful. I was truly amazed that they all seemed to be happy to have me as a guest. Breakfast was well stocked with a great variety.

A bit sketchy
The neighborhood area felt a bit uncomfortable, and the sign-in with an agreement not to do drugs in the room made us wonder what kind of place this was. The nearby restaurant closed before 7pm and didn't serve breakfast, but we survived the night and the continental breakfast served on the premises was adequate.

Terrible check in
Check in was awful, first was sent to a room that was not clean at all (still had trash and such in it) then was sent to a room that was STILL OCCUPIED! Finally the 3rd room was fine, but the jets on the tub didn't work and when I mentioned it to the guy at checkout he scoffed at me and said that only the 300.00 rooms have jets in the tubs, though the tub clearly had jets that didn't function. I was told that I would get a discount on my stay but I ended up having to call orbitz, orbitz never could reach the hotel to request a discount so I got a coupon code for a future stay. Also i should add that several other people were saying their rooms were not cleaned either so it seems the staff was on strike or something. Photos are what the room looked like that i was first sent to.
La Quinta Inn & Suites Memphis Downtown
Clean new hotel a little east of downtown
Hotel was perfect. Only downside is a couple of blocks off beaten track in sketchy neighborhood. Great value.

Pro tips from our travel blog: Everything you need to know for a perfectly rewarding trip to Memphis
Elvis, Aretha & America’s markets were born in Memphis
Memphis has been the home of musical greats like Aretha Franklin and Elvis Presley, as well as legendary actors like Morgan Freeman. It consequently has historic attractions and entertainment for varying tastes, from Graceland to Sun Studios—where rock 'n' roll was born. Take a closer look at how the classics were recorded before sampling some Memphis meats in smokehouses serving up barbequed pork, or burger joints where juicy beef is griddled to perfection. Travel back through time at the National Civil Rights Museum, or take the kids to the Children's Museum of Memphis for exhibits, events and games. Memphis in Tennessee is an eclectic city of literature, arts, food and culture that's ideal for families, backpackers or couples.
Yearly events of note
Memphis in May
For a well-rounded visit to Memphis, it is highly recommended that you plan your visit during May. Beale Street Music Festival, Sunset Symphony, World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest and International Week all combine to help make Memphis in May what it is today. Going on for more than 30 years, this celebration exhibits the best of the South. See “Ms. Piggie,” where contestants dress as pigs and put on stage performances of all kinds; the Barbecue Cooking Contest; or head to the popular Best Booth.
Most Memphis hotels will have brochures with dates and sometimes even coupons for the events going on during Memphis in May—just ask on arrival.
Cooper-Young Festival
For those who wish to enjoy a more artistically-focused event, the Cooper-Young Festival is a suggested alternative. Held in Midtown Memphis, local musicians take to the stage while stalls sell arts and crafts, and kids can enjoy a dedicated children’s play zone. Taking place in September as the leaves start to turn from green to gold, the Cooper-Young Festival is an indoor event, keeping any weather complications from getting in the way of a weekend of Memphis heritage.
Memphis International Jazz Festival
Jazz shaped quite a bit of America during the 1920's, and Memphis had a large part to play in shaping jazz. Memphis, along with Montreal, New York City, New Orleans and a few other cities, is one of the major jazz cities of the world. If music from big names like Duke, Gillespie and Monk makes you want to shake a leg, then visiting Memphis during the International Jazz Festival is a definite “must” during your visit.
Things to see
Graceland
Perhaps the most well-known attraction in Memphis; Graceland, a large mansion owned by Elvis Presley, is the most-visited private home in America and sits on the National Register of Historic Places. Visit this huge estate, and make yourself at one with “The King.” Walk through the hallways and rooms that once rang out to the sound of his music and enjoy a well-maintained part of pop culture's history.
The Pink Palace Museum
Exhibits, audiovisual displays and dioramas are just the beginning at The Pink Palace Museum. See the unique full-sized exhibit of Clarence Saunders' Piggly Wiggly, the country's first grocery store, and journey through natural history as well as tales of settlers around Memphis and the industries within the region.
Climate
Memphis has mild winters, peaking at about 42 degrees Fahrenheit. The summer months are hot, with temperatures in July averaging approximately 83 degrees. Random storms can cause hail, flooding and strong winds, so bring a weatherproof jacket. In November, December, March, April and May, Memphis experiences the highest amount of rainfall. However, precipitation is fairly evenly spread throughout the year.
