A 67-room value chain property on the outskirts of Memphis, La Quinta Inn & Suites Wolfchase is a seven-minute walk to the Wolfchase Galleria Shopping Mall (the area's retail mecca) and a 12-minute drive to the sprawling Shelby Farms Park. Downtown Memphis is about a 25-minute drive from the hotel. The modern and spacious neutral-toned rooms are a step up from many La Quinta properties, and come with microwaves, mini-fridges, coffeemakers, large flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. The hotel also has a saltwater indoor pool and hot tub, a business center and meeting spaces, and a fitness center. Breakfast is also included in the room rate, and while there is no on-site restaurant or bar, plenty of fast food is within a five-minute walk of the hotel.

This Days Inn is as close as you can get to Graceland without actually staying there. It was the first hotel built after Elvis died in 1977, and while the decor is still stuck in that time period, it’s an affordable value for Elvis-obsessed tourists. The place is crammed full of Elvis photos and memorabilia, even in the Double and King Bed rooms. Guests who embrace the kitsch can relax in the guitar-shaped outdoor pool and enjoy The King’s music playing throughout the day and evening. Daily rates, which include a full breakfast, are half of what they are at the Heartbreak Hotel, which is located a bit north on the Graceland property itself. However, the property lacks a full restaurant and gym, and decor can feel dated.

This intimate 28-room hotel on the Mud Island peninsula has the feel of an upscale mansion with a lot of luxury in the small details. A gourmet breakfast served at the well-regarded Paulette’s Restaurant is included in the room rate, and other welcome touches include a glass of port along with chocolate truffles as part of the nightly turndown service. Some guest rooms have small balconies overlooking the Mississippi, with more river views at the modern Terrace restaurant. Parking is also free, which is a big plus. It’s a bit of a hike to Beale Street, so travelers looking for something with a similar boutique vibe but closer to downtown attractions could try the Madison Hotel.

For travelers looking to be in the heart of the action in Memphis, it’s hard to beat the location of this Westin, part of a well-known chain. The four-pearl property sits half a block away from the famous Beale Street and across from the Gibson guitar factory. One unique feature is a guitar checkout, an homage to the company. The clean and modern hotel offers contemporary rooms and suites with downtown views and perks like coffeemakers with Starbucks coffee. The fees for parking and Wi-Fi are a drawback, but overall, it’s a decent value for a solid property with a desirable downtown location.
