LA QUINTA INN & SUITES BY WYNDHAM MEMPHIS I-240, Memphis

The hotel sits right off Interstate 240, making it easy to reach via car from the airport (9 km) or downtown Memphis. Attractions like Graceland (17 km), Memphis Zoo (15 km), and Stax Museum of American Soul Music (16 km) are a short drive away. The immediate area is industrial and not walkable, with a dead-end street and a secure gated parking lot requiring a code for entry and exit. This setup provides a safe place for vehicles but means you will need a car to access most dining and entertainment. The fenced perimeter and code entry add a layer of security, especially for overnight parking.

Rooms include family rooms, double rooms, suites, and an apartment-style unit, all with private bathrooms (shower or bath) and free toiletries. Standard features are air conditioning, heating, a TV with cable channels, a wardrobe, and a tea and coffee maker. Many rooms have a kitchen or kitchenette with a microwave and refrigerator, and some have a separate living area with two TVs. The property has soundproofed rooms, but some rooms face the freeway and can be noisy. The layout in some rooms places the sink outside the bathroom, which may be a minor inconvenience. Suites and apartments offer extra space and are well-suited for families or longer stays.

Breakfast is included in the rate and features a buffet with scrambled eggs, waffles, cereal, yogurt, fresh fruit, pastries, and a variety of juices. A 24-hour coffee and cappuccino machine is available in the lobby. The breakfast area is spacious with modern decor and comfortable seating. The hotel does not have a restaurant or bar for lunch or dinner, so plan to eat out or use the in-room kitchen for meal preparation. The unlimited coffee bar is a practical perk for early risers or road travelers.

The indoor swimming pool is open all year and has been noted for being clean and well-maintained. The fitness centre includes a Peloton bike and other equipment, suitable for a workout during your stay. There is no spa, sauna, or hot tub on site. The pool and gym offer reasonable leisure options independent of weather, making the hotel suitable for a refreshing swim or exercise without leaving the property.

The hotel provides free WiFi throughout, free on-site parking (but reservation is required due to limited spaces), and a 24-hour front desk. Business services include a business centre, fax/photocopying, and meeting/banquet facilities (for an additional charge). Laundry, luggage storage, and daily housekeeping are available. An electric vehicle charging station is on site. The property features a lift, designated smoking areas, and facilities for disabled guests. Security includes CCTV, fire extinguishers, and key card access. Note that no airport shuttle is offered, and the hotel accepts American Express, Visa, Diners Club, JCB, Discover, and MasterCard.
