Best for
This hotel suits road-trip travelers and budget-conscious visitors who want easy interstate access and a straightforward, comfortable stay rather than a downtown Memphis address.

Travel tips
Since the hotel sits just off Interstate 40 in West Memphis, a car is the most practical way to reach the Memphis attractions across the river, most of which are 8 to 17 miles away. Plan for a short drive across the Mississippi River bridge into downtown Memphis for sights like the National Civil Rights Museum, Sun Studio, and the Orpheum Theatre, and consider arriving early for breakfast in the dining room before heading out for the day. The 24-hour snack store is handy for late arrivals or early departures.
