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.

Stay was decent but wouldn't...

Liked: Staff was very friendly. Bathroom was clean. Bed was super comfy.
Disliked: The building is a little run down. The stairwell has chipping paint with ruat underneath making it hard to hold rails when using. Only the desk lamp worked in the room. Neither bed lamps had any power. The breakfast was not very tasty.
