The room smelled terrible. There was pee in the toilet when we arrived. Bathroom/room door within the hotelroom would not close/lock. The hotel was loud. A lot of the guests appear to be living their permanently. The hotel is in a bad neighborhood. And a few guests appear to be selling drugs---stationed in the same places within and outside the property periodically throughout the day.

Also, they are without a night manager which means no one is at the hotel from about 8 p.m. to 7 a.m.

I spent one week at the Studio 6 Hotel in Memphis, TN. The rate was wonderful ($235) for the week. The room was labelled non-smoking, and I was informed it was non-smoking; however, the room smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. The bathroom mirror had been written on in marker. There were stains on the sheets, and walls. Under the bed was dirty with food left by previous visitors. I did not not notice any bugs or living creatures other than myself. I inspected the mattress. The mattress was worn; however, it appeared to free of insects. I chose not to complain because by the looks of the place, all of the rooms would have been in the same shape. At times it was noisy. The hotel staff was friendly. They have security guards during the evenings and nights. I've stayed in worse places that were cheaper (in Central America). The pool looked older, but well maintained. It is very close to the airport. The "TV" selection was not bad. I watched lots of HBO! This hotel is cheap and therefore perfect for the single guy or guys traveling together on a road trip. I would steer clear of this hotel if I was traveling with my family.

Though the room was cheap, it was not very clean looking. When we moved one of the beds, there were stains on the walls. The heat in our initial room did not work, therefore, we had to be moved into another room. And the elevator smelled really bad. When we requested clean towels, it took many hours for the management to get them to us because they stated that there were no clean towels available at the time.

We stayed here for a couple of weeks to take a break from the road. We got a single room, which is the same size as a regular motel 6 room just with a kitchenette in the corner. The pros: great rate for a clean room in good condition, kitchenette, WIFI, pets friendly, grocery store nearby, seemingly decent area of memphis, security and friendly staff. The cons: front desk is available only during business hrs, cleaning is available only weekly, WIFI wasn't always working, and our first room had a few bugs but we were immediately moved to another room that had none. If I am in Memphis again for more than a week, I would definitely return here, but instead get the two room suite.
