The Spotlight on Best Western Plus Gen X Inn

Convenient Comfort in the Heart of Memphis

Modern, laid-back, and centrally located, the Best Western Plus Gen X Inn is a smart pick for music lovers looking to explore the Memphis scene. Just a short drive from downtown and major attractions like the National Civil Rights Museum, the hotel offers a calm retreat with all the essentials—free Wi-Fi, in-room coffee, and cable TV with HBO. Whether you're here for a show or a weekend getaway, you’re well-placed to enjoy the best the city has to offer.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you're headed to a show, this hotel is a winner for its quick access to downtown Memphis music venues—only about a 5-minute drive away. Late-night returns are easy with 24-hour front desk service and express check-in. The area is relatively quiet, giving you a peaceful spot to recover post-show. Plus, with Memphis International Airport just 10 miles away, it's a convenient base whether you're flying in or road-tripping.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends wanting a central crash pad after a night out
  • Solo travelers chasing bucket-list concerts
  • Couples making a music-filled weekend of it
  • Fans looking for a quiet place to unwind after a loud show
  • Budget-conscious music fans who want comfort without splurging

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant or bar, each room includes a fridge and coffee maker for late-night snacks and caffeine fixes. You’ll find walkable eateries and quick bites nearby, and the hotel offers a continental breakfast—perfect for a post-concert sleep-in followed by a morning bite.

Nightlife Options

Being just minutes from downtown, you're close to Memphis’ buzzing nightlife. From live music bars to laid-back lounges, it's all accessible by a short ride. While the hotel itself is quiet, it’s a great base to explore the scene, then retreat to peace and quiet.

What People Say

Guests love the hotel’s friendly staff, convenient location, and clean, comfortable rooms. Many reviewers highlight the ease of getting around and the value for money. It’s especially praised for being a simple, no-fuss stay that keeps you close to the action.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel doesn’t offer much in terms of on-site dining or entertainment, so you’ll need to venture out for meals and nightlife. Some guests mention that it's a bit dated in decor, but clean and well-kept overall.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers looking for a budget-friendly, central, and quiet base in Memphis, the Best Western Plus Gen X Inn delivers everything you need—without the noise or the price tag.

Great staff. Great location. Need...

Liked: The staff was amazing and super helpful. The location was easy access to everything we were in Memphis for. The hotel room was spacious.
Disliked: They either need to put in all tile flooring or shampoo the carpets more often. While the adults wear shoes in hotel rooms it was hard to keep shoes on my toddler and her feet would be brown/black just from running around. The plug ins for our room by the bed also didn’t work.

Never stay at that location...

Disliked: Bathroom not cleaned with a dirty wet towel left having in the rack. I question if the sheets were changed also. Told the front desk and was offered a new room but I had already settled in and it was late so I declined. He apologized but for $150.00 I expected much better. I think BW should have offered a credit on the price but nothing. I’ll try to stay at other hotels who take care of their customers.
