The Spotlight on Candlewood Suites - Memphis East

Comfortable, Convenient & Concert-Ready in East Memphis

Modern and unfussy, Candlewood Suites - Memphis East is a laid-back 3-star hotel located in Cordova, just off I-40. This all-suite hotel delivers the essentials concert-goers need most: clean, quiet rooms, free WiFi, and a kitchen in every suite so you can feel right at home between shows. Set about 14 miles from downtown Memphis, it’s a practical base for fans who want to skip the downtown prices while staying connected to the action.

Why Concert-goers love it

With major venues like the Stax Museum of American Soul Music and other Memphis hotspots just a 20–30 minute drive away, Candlewood Suites is a smart pick for those road-tripping for a show. The 24-hour front desk means you can check in late after a concert, and the neighborhood is peaceful—ideal for winding down after a loud night. Free parking and quick interstate access make rideshares and late-night returns easy and stress-free.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends on a music-fueled getaway
  • Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list concert
  • Couples planning a quiet, extended weekend
  • Fans looking to recharge in peace after a show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers wanting value without downtown rates

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full restaurant on-site, every suite has a full kitchen—stock up at nearby stores or hit the snack bar for quick bites. Vending machines are available for late-night cravings, and there are plenty of eateries within a short drive. Breakfast isn’t served on-site, but you can prep your own or grab something nearby after a sleep-in.

Nightlife Options

Though there’s no bar or live music on property, you’re just a short drive away from Memphis nightlife. Head toward downtown or Midtown for bars, lounges, and live shows, then return to your peaceful suite to rest up.

What People Say

Guests love the cleanliness and quiet vibe, especially after a long night out. Many also highlight the spacious rooms with full kitchens, and the convenient location just off the interstate. The staff earns praise for being friendly and helpful, even during late check-ins.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel doesn’t offer a daily breakfast or on-site dining, which may be a downside for those used to a hotel restaurant. Some guests note the distance from downtown Memphis venues, so having a car or rideshare plan is key.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to Memphis for a concert and want an affordable, clean, and quiet home base with space to recharge, Candlewood Suites - Memphis East is a solid pick.

Bad

Liked: Nothing
Disliked: Made a reservation through Booking.Com, and upon arrival, we were told they did not have a room for us. I received a text the morning of our arrival date confirming our reservation. They wanted us to pay for 2 single rooms at a higher rate upon arrival. The front entrance smelled like Marijuana. The agent at the desk was very rude and not helpful. We ended up going next door to their competitor where they were accommodating and very nice. DONT STAY HERE!

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Natasha Sat, 10 February 2024

I did in the previous...

Liked: Clean and well stocked
Disliked: One older woman overnight was mad I checked in at 10 - I work late some nights and can’t get there early. My security deposit was $50 and I was blown off and told to check with my bank. It still says it’s pending on Candlewood end. Then I got a penny refund? Weird. I’m a Hilton Honors member and I work for Canopy so this was very disappointing and inconvenient.
