Top South Main Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn Memphis Downtown

8/10 Good

"Great service, views and good breakfast."

The Peabody Memphis

10/10 Excellent

"If you have any plans for activities in downtown Memphis (i.e. Beale street, a Memphis Grizzlies game, etc.), then I highly recommend this hotel. The hotel is conveniently located close to shopping, tourist attractions, transportation (i.e. the Amtrak station is within a fifteen minute walk), and restaurants. You will find quality, professionalism, comfort, and overall class exhibited here by both the staff and the overall ambience of the environment. You will get MORE than your money's worth with your stay here."

The Central Station Memphis, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"We loved everything about staying here! The staff were friendly and helpful, and especially kind to my 7 year old. We thought the room and hotel in general were really beautiful and well-done. The location was fantastic and we had fun exploring South Main and the surrounding areas, and it was so nice being close to the waterfront. Probably the only negative, and it was slight, was that the parking meters didn’t seem to register our scan code when it was raining (and that was just about every night!) so it was kind of an issue to get in/out a few times."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Memphis Airport Graceland

10/10 Excellent

"Not bad for an extended layover due to our diverted flight. The driver who took us back and forth to the airport is a great guy. Check-in was a breeze, and having breakfast before going home was very helpful. It's an old building, but the bed was cozy enough for a good night's sleep."

ARRIVE Memphis

10/10 Excellent

"Arrive Memphis is a cute boutique hotel within a 15 minute walk of Beal Street. The lobby has antique furniture to go along with the unique design of the hotel. It also has a nice cafe and bar for your food and beverage needs throughout the day. We didn’t have any of the food items, but they looked delicious. We believe the hotel is a converted warehouse because some of the floors are still concrete and some walls have the original brick exposed. It just added to the charm of the hotel. Our room was also great with a spacious bathroom and shower area. The towels were very plush and they also provided robes. The bed, bedding and pillows were our favorite. So comfy and cozy! If you want something different than a chain hotel, this is the ticket!"
