The Holiday Inn Express Memphis Medical Center Midtown is the value pick for visitors with a car. It stands at 1180 Union Avenue in Midtown, a side of the city that is quieter than downtown and closer to Overton Park, the zoo and the Metal Museum. The hotel gives a free breakfast, free Wi-Fi and free parking, which together can save a family a lot over a long weekend. It also has a seasonal outdoor pool, a fitness center, a business center, daily housekeeping and a 24-hour bean-to-cup coffee station in the lobby. There is no on-site restaurant and no complimentary shuttle, so you will be driving or taking rideshares for dinner and for sightseeing. Pets are allowed for a nightly fee per pet, which is useful for those traveling with dogs. The hotel lists distances of about 8 miles to Graceland, 8 miles to Memphis International Airport and about 2 miles to Beale Street. That makes it a sensible base if you plan to drive to Graceland and Stax, and less convenient if you want to walk to live music at night.
Location and getting around
Midtown offers a more residential feel and good access to Overton Park, the zoo and the Metal Museum, and the drive to Beale Street is short. If you plan to spend evenings downtown, factor in rideshares or parking there. The free parking here is a real advantage over downtown hotels that charge by the night.
