What guests think
At Best Western Plus Gen X Inn, guests find clean, comfortable rooms and friendly staff in a convenient spot for downtown and the medical district, but many say the area feels unsafe and parking lot break-ins have been reported.
Breakfast feedback is mixed, with some praising hot options and staff, while others cite poor quality, items running out, broken machines, and shortened hours. Rooms are spacious, but recurring maintenance issues include elevator problems, noisy or ineffective HVAC, weak TV or Wi-Fi, smoke odors, and very low toilets. Expect a budget stay that trades convenience and value for variable upkeep and neighborhood safety concerns.

Our vehicle was broken into along with 4 other vehicles. A customer notified the hotel and had to call the police herself after management did nothing. We had to find out as we were leaving the property. We were never notified by the hotel that our car was broken into and the hotel offered no assistance other than giving us a telephone number to call. Apparently, according to other reviews below, it happened to others one week prior and is a regular thing here. Why is there not security? This hotel is negligent in it's efforts to prevent this from happening since it is a regular thing. I am highly disappointed in how the hotel is handling this matter. I will never stay here again.

This hotel has a well lit parking lot. It is right off the main road in Memphis. It was clean. The room we were in was right off the elevator. So in the morning it was very loud with visitors leaving. There's definitely bad insulation. The room was clean. The beds were nice. The breakfast was mediocre but it's a hotel breakfast. Overall it was a good stay

Checked in around 5 p.m. Upon entering the lobby, we were buzzed in. There is bullet proof glass/plexiglass surrounding the reception area. There is a sign posted about frequent break-ins in the parking area. When we went to our room, the door was wide open, and hadn't been cleaned from previous occupant. Went back down to receptionist, and there was no one to be found....waited 5-10 minutes before anyone reappeared. You would think the receptionist and cleaning crew would be in contact with room availability. Very unprofessional. Would not recommend.

Stayed here one night. Easy access on and off highway. Close to restaurants and nit too far from downtown. Hot breakfast was mediocre. The room was clean but it showed alot of wear and tear. They had the interlock to the building (which is about 3 feet wide) constantly locked, even during the day, which makes it hard to get your luggage into the building.

Arriving to the hotel was kind of a surprise. We did not expect a razor wire fence around the lot (not typical where I’m from), but after some time there, it was appreciated. The building is not pretty on the outside, but the location was convenient for us, the staff were very friendly and the room was nice and clean. There are a lot of homeless in the area, just something to be aware of. None bothered us at the hotel though. The breakfast left much to be desired, we went to nearby cafes and coffee shops to get some decent food instead. It’s a great place to stay if you’re looking for something reasonably priced near the local hospitals or downtown area, and don’t mind the other things I mentioned above.

I love a good Best Western stay because the rooms are always clean, the building is generally quiet, and the breakfast is good. This was no exception. The room was bigger than I expected, and super clean. Plenty of outlets and the staff was super friendly and fast. I'm only giving 4 stars instead of 5 because the toilet handle slipped off the chain a few hours before check out and I couldn't get it back on, but I'm sure if I had mentioned it, it would have been fixed quickly. Overall, I highly recommend. The neighborhood might give you pause, and maybe the outside could use some sprucing up, but this is a good hotel, and the omelets were on point.

This room was comfortable for the one night we were there. We had a little trouble with the TV but finally got it working. The man at the desk wasn’t very friendly and took a long time to get us checked in. We couldn’t figure out what all he was clicking on on the computer…. Other than that, it’s fine for a night or two. Oh, the hallway smelled funny, but the room didn’t have a smell at all.

We had booked a double queen bed room. The room sizing was very spacy. The room and bathroom were clean. The beds were also comfortable. The facility offers free parking and is easy to find. But the hotel is located directly at a main street being quiet noisy during the day and rush hours. The breakfast was OK but the eating facility is very tiny. Despite claiming being a non-smoking facility the room we got was smelling like an old smoking room. So we bought some air freshener to overcome this.

Non-smoking hotel, which is fine as we do t smoke. Get to our room and the bathroom smelled STRONGLY of cigarettes. The smoke detector appeared to be working but was dangling from a wire several inches below the ceiling, not flush. And there was a large dead bug on the carpeted floor.

Front desk was friendly and efficient. Elevator reeked of weed. Room was nice and clean. Mattress was very stiff and had five of half size pillows you have to bunch up to make a real pillow with. The cable box didn't work. Police were in the lobby searching for someone and had cars blocked when we were leaving.

Over the weekend, the breakfast options evaporated. The juice machine, waffle maker, toaster, and microwave all stopped working, and no one was collecting the trash. --- Also no one is checking the filters in the heater/AC units in the rooms. My filter was filthy and causing the machine to make noise.

Our TV never worked the entire time we were there. They literally were manually rebooting their router and still the TV wasn’t working. Just seems unprofessional for a hotel to not have better Wi-Fi service. Also, when we arrive to our room, the door was wide open. It had us questioning, We’re wearing the right spot?

Security in parking lot was a bonus. Room was nice. The staff sucked. The Indian guy that checked us in and the Indian guy who checked us out were majorly unfriendly. Not one smile from either of them. The woman working the breakfast area could hardly understand English so had a hard time helping requests from guests. The desk clerk working 9/10/23 was nowhere to be found for a long time. A guest was waiting and waiting and then finally began calling while standing in front of the front desk. Nothing. Then finally he came in from outside and didnt even apologize for not being available. If you're working customer service, learn to be a good human. It's not that hard.

When we arrived, we were given a room that was not clean then moved to a room where the door wouldn't open then moved to the third room and we got settled. The next day someone knocked on our door stated they were given a key to the room we were staying in and the key worked. After that a staff member was outside our door stating that we didn't pay for the room and demanded ID. I told him let me get dress and I would bring my ID down once downstairs I explained what happened when we arrived, and he said it wasn't put into the system. We go back to the room and tried the key, and it didn't work so I went back down there to get a key to get in the room he stated I deactivated the key because it was probably close to my phone but NO the key was not working anymore because he had activated keys for someone else. VERY BAD EXPERIENCE WILL NEVER STAY AGAIN AND WILL NEVER RECOMMEND.

The property is surrounded by a fence with razor wire. It is very close to Minglewood Hall. Uber is definitely the way to go even though it is within walking distance as it is an unsafe area. The room was decent and the bed was comfortable for 1 night. Would stay again if seeing a concert at Minglewood Hall.

Good location in Memphis between downtown and midtown. The staff at the front desk was very friendly and helpful in answering any questions. Nice clean place at a fair price.

Our room was not ready after 3 pm. The pictures of property were not accurate. Although there was a fence around property it did not feel safe because it was downtown. Once we got into a room the room was clean and up to date. We would not stay here again due to location.

A great place to stay but the neighborhood is a little rundown. The bus to downtown is frequent.

Arriving to the hotel was kind of a surprise. We did not expect a razor wire fence around the lot (not typical where I’m from), but after some time there, it was appreciated. The building is not pretty on the outside, but the location was convenient for us, the staff were very friendly and the room was nice and clean. There are a lot of homeless in the area, just something to be aware of. None bothered us at the hotel though. The breakfast left much to be desired, we went to nearby cafes and coffee shops to get some decent food instead. It’s a great place to stay if you’re looking for something reasonably priced near the local hospitals or downtown area, and don’t mind the other things I mentioned above.

There was no food for breakfast. The man that was trying to put food out was also working the front desk. There was not enough help at this hotel. When I was leaving the front desk clerk couldn’t even give me a receipt.

Great room for the price. Breakfast was pretty good (just need gravy for the biscuits in the future lol). The room we had was 2 queens. The sheets were nice, bed was comfortable, and 4 pillows felt amazing. I had been using holiday inn, but gen x is probably my new go to!

This was a convenient location, easy parking, close to everything we wanted to see and do in Memphis. The room was nice, quiet, comfortable, safe. Great breakfast and well maintained.

People kept saying the breakfast was great but it might have been the worse hotel breakfast I’ve ever had. Other than that it was a good hotel with nice staff and clean rooms.

Had to wait for 30’ minutes to check in because there was no one at the front desk. They were “fixing a tv” at the moment. The hotel is old and you can see it everywhere. The breakfast is bad, not sure how they messed up even the orange juice from a machine.

Ms. Joyce is the best! Her breakfast is so delicious and she is so kind and accommodating. I would go back just for her. Facilities were nice, spacious rooms, cameras in the parking lot. We felt safe and secure.

We have stayed here multiple times when we come down to Memphis, and we are always pleased. The rooms are always clean and we do like the breakfast they serve.

Hotel smaller than normally stay in; breakfast simple; staff were not rude, but not friendly - didn't help with breakfast questions (asked what were containers in fridge & was told to check labels, could have been friendlier when answering); parking close to building, but very small lot - thankfully hotel wasn't full or wouldn't be able to park
