QUALITY INN MEMPHIS AIRPORT, Memphis

The hotel is 3 km from Graceland, a 15-minute drive from the Memphis Convention Center, and 14 km from central Memphis. It sits in a trucking area near the airport, so there are no restaurants within easy walking distance; you'll need to drive to find dining or shopping. The location is convenient for those driving, as it is minutes from I-40. A gate-controlled parking lot with key access provides a secure place for your car, and the nearby airport is reachable by the hotel's timed shuttle. For trips to Beale Street or Graceland, use a rideshare or taxi.

All rooms offer a microwave and small refrigerator, a desk, coffee-making facilities, and cable TV with HBO. Queen and King bed configurations are available. The rooms are reasonably spacious, but the property shows its age: worn carpets, dated furniture, and some rooms have cracked sinks or musty odors. Soundproofing is poor; you can hear conversations from neighboring rooms, and road noise from the trucking area can be heard at night. Air conditioning is functional but can be set to a constant temperature. Bathroom cleanliness is inconsistent; some units have black mold in the tub, broken doors, and drains that do not work. For a better night's sleep, request a room away from the main road.

Breakfast is included in the room rate but is self-service and very minimal: make-your-own waffles, yogurt, bread for toast, dry cereal, and coffee. There are no hot items like eggs or bacon. Breakfast is served from 6:00 or 7:00 AM, and items can run out if you arrive later. The hotel does not have a restaurant on site. Vending machines for drinks and snacks are present but often empty or out of order. For a full meal, you will need to drive to one of the nearby fast-food or family restaurants within 5 minutes by car.

The outdoor swimming pool is seasonal, typically opening from the last week of May through the summer. In past seasons, the pool has been closed for months at a time due to maintenance, and its cleanliness has varied. The fitness centre is free and includes basic cardio and weight equipment. There is no spa or hot tub on site.

Free Wi-Fi works throughout the property. Free private parking is available on site without a reservation, and the lot is enclosed by a gate that requires a room key to enter. The 24-hour front desk can store luggage for free and operates the free airport shuttle (hours: Monday-Friday 7:00-17:00, Saturday-Sunday 8:00-16:00; book at check-in). A business centre offers free fax/photocopying, and a launderette is available for guest use. Housekeeping is daily. Safety deposit boxes, lockers, and CCTV are provided. There is no elevator.
