My husband and I stayed at the Vista Inn Motel for 3 nights in early January. The location is terrific only a couple of minutes walk to Beale St. We were visiting during the quiet season, so the streets were empty at night, however it's safe to get around Downtown on foot. Bed was comfy and the area was quiet.... More

Stayed here Thur Dec 1st- Fri. Dec 2nd. When I originally booked my stay it was advertised as just a Hostel, I was really confused when i got there because it was a hotel. I will say when i arrived and checked in, the girl that the front desk was super nice and talkative and it reassured me that okay... More

Stayed here for 2 nights. Great location, free parking and internet. Never had a problem with internet access. This is not a 5 star hotel, if this is what you are looking for look elsewhere. If you are booking in the near future you may want to ask if the new roof is finished, we had a bad smell of... More

The motel is perfectly located in the middle of Memphis! Although the city itself is not really practical built, almost everything is walkable from this place. The service was magnificent, the girl at the reception arranged a Graceland tour for us for much less money than most offered tours. The breakfast is at the reception. It's quite simple (cereals and... More

If you are expecting luxury or an immaculate room then look elsewhere. Then again, if you're paying $80 a night in peak season and get this central a location then you should be pretty happy with whatever you get. The staff were friendly enough and the rooms were basic but fine. The motel is in a fairly safe area; most... More

We stayed here for the St. Jude Memphis Marathon, and did not expect anything but a clean room, Internet access, and convenient walk to start and finish of marathon. The room did not have a clock, the Internet never worked (we were in the second building, and not sure if this had anything to do with it) and was the... More

I was there for 2 nights. The location is perfect and if you are coming back from Beale st. late at night it's really convinient becasue you can enter from the back entrance. The area around Greyhound bus stop is little shady but still it isn't a problem. The room was clean and the whole place was just renovated. The... More

We stayed here for 3 nights and found it generally acceptable? We did have some issues with dirty bed linen on arrival (a boot print on the pillowcase was kind of a clue) but it got sorted out. As other reviewers have noted, the location is great for walking to many Memphis attractions. Not sure why some reviewers feel the... More

My husband and I were on our honeymoon and wanted to see Graceland and Beale St so we decided to stay the night in downtown. We had not researched the Memphis area beforehand. The Vista Inn seemed nice enough with reasonable rates - the room was remodeled and clean. The room we got had NO bible in it so we... More

We do sincerely apologize for the bad experience that you had with us. I can assure you that is a very, very unusual happening here. In fact, I have never heard of that happening here. Memphis is a very safe place especially in the downtown area. I am sure that you have seen some of our previous reviews from guests'... More

It was a good value, an older motel close to downtown attractions but clean and I felt safe enough walking in the area. i walked to Sun Records for the tour and also downtown to restaurants and to Beale Street in the evening. All in easy walking distance. I also rode... More
