The Residence Inn by Marriott Memphis Downtown is the practical choice for families, groups and longer stays. Every room is a suite with a full kitchen, which lets you cook, store leftovers and spread out in a way a standard hotel room does not allow. It stands at 110 Monroe Avenue, about seven blocks from Beale Street, and the Main Street Trolley stops directly outside. The free hot breakfast is a major saving, served on weekdays from 6:30 to 9:30 a.m. and weekends from 7:00 to 10:00 a.m., and there is free coffee and tea in the lobby. The hotel has an on-site Starbucks and two restaurants, including in-room dining from McEwen’s, plus a gift shop and convenience store. A rooftop with views of the Mississippi River is a pleasant place for an evening drink, and the fitness center is complimentary, with a 24-hour health club. The hotel is smoke-free and welcomes pets up to 100 pounds for a non-refundable fee. It suits families, groups of friends and travelers staying several nights.
Location and getting around
The trolley outside gives easy access along Main Street, and Beale Street is about seven blocks away. Memphis International Airport is about 12 miles away. There is no hotel shuttle, though an airport car service is available on request at a set one-way fare, and the Amtrak and Greyhound stations are nearby.
Rooms
Suites come with full kitchens and separate living space, which makes them well suited to families. The hotel does not publish its room count on the page we checked, so look at the booking page for suite types and layouts.
Who it suits
Families, groups, longer stays and anyone who wants a kitchen and a free breakfast. It is less suited to travelers wanting a pool, which the page does not list.
