The Econo Lodge in Downtown Memphis is by no means a luxury hotel, but if you are looking for a descent night's sleep in downtown Memphis, this may be the place for you. The hotel is in a great location if you don't mind half mile to mile walks. Main Street, which has trolleys, restaurants and shopping are only a 10 minute walk away. Beale Street is also only a 10 minute walk down the street. Both walks seemed to be fairly safe though a late night walk may be a little risky. The hotel has a parking garage which costs $10 a day to park. The garage seemed safe and did have a guard checking your slip but security was not always present. My car was fine during our 3 night stay. The room was average but fine for what we required. We did not stay in the room at all during the day. The bed was comfortable and the chairs, bathroom and other surroundings were adequate. The. Breakfast was ok consisting of muffins, Danish, cereal, and waffles. The elevator was a little creepy at times. It was old, dirty, and the lighted numbers didn't work, but it took us from the ground to floor 9 several times without incident. In conclusion, I would recommend this hotel for those looking to get close to downtown Memphis and not spending a lot of time in your room.
