Staybridge Suites Memphis-Poplar Ave East

My hubby, daughter, myself, and our adorable Wheaten Terrier are on a cross-​country trip moving from East to West and we have to look up a pet-​friendly hotel every night. Despite our desired budget of $ 100 or less, we couldn’t find another hotel in Memphis and decided to stay here (it was suggested by the barbecue store manager where we had dinner). Well, the hotel was rated very highly here on Unilocal and being concerned about safety in Memphis, we came here. It turned out to be extremely nice experience. The room was a suite (first in our life), consisting of a living room with kitchenette and a separate bedroom with two double beds. Much needed free WiFi was excellent and a relief from a joke of WiFi we had endured previous two nights at 2-​star hotels. Pantry on the first floor was stuffed with drinks and some important necessities (we bought cotton swabs and a small comb). And this morning’s hot breakfast with its absolutely charming chef woman was a pleasure to have before hitting Graceland. Overall, very pleasant stay. Oh and I was given a special discount on a pet fee which of course didn’t bring the fee down to $ 100 but was still much appreciated. Highly recommended!

We had a very nice stay at the Poplar East Staybridge Suites in Memphis. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Free WiFi is available and the prices are reasonable.
We had a one bedroom suite which was nicely appointed. As is the case with many extended stay hotels, our room was equipped with a refrigerator and stove. The hotel provides a complementary buffet breakfast. Waffles, eggs, bacon/​sausage, biscuits & gravy were among the hot items available. Cereal, yogurt and fruit were also available along with juices and coffee.
I liked everything about the room but one thing. I wished the bathroom were open to a hallway between the living area and bedroom rather than opening into just the bedroom. That’s simply my personal preference and doesn’t detract from my rating of this hotel.

great staff, very friendly.
convenient to the office park and shopping center nearby
room and sheets were spotless clean and comfortable
airport shuttle and mall shuttle were a huge plus

Very clean room. Got a text about 2 hours out from check-​in welcoming me to the area. Staff at check in was very friendly. Room was very clean and well appointed. Quiet, pet and family friendly. Would definitely stay here again if I am in the area.

Pet friendly. Awesome hotel, staff, and price. Memphis can be know for having some rough areas, but rest assured this hotel is in a great area. I checked in about an hour before their social hour ended. So I ran to the room and dropped my bags. Social hour is hosted in the lobby and offered soup, salad, and bread (all very good). They also have free wine and beer. I stayed for about 35 min and enjoyed a nice lil meal.
When I arrived with my pet the guy at the front desk said there was a $ 75 pet deposit. I mentioned to him that I just stayed at two other Staybridge locations and they only charged $ 50, he immediately changed it $ 50.
When you check-​in on Unilocal you get 10% off your entire stay, I showed him this, but unfortunately it was not reflected on my final bill :\
Overall my stay here was very pleasant, great hotel and staff. Comes with all the amenities.

From the time I checked in with my family to the time we checked out the staff at Staybridge Suites made our stay all worth it! They have thought of everything at Staybridge Suites. My family and I stayed in the double queen bed suite and it was more than enough room for us. The room was clean and homey. Breakfast every morning was delicious and just enough to get the day started right. There is a free laundry facility on site and the hotel pantry is full of goodies for when the late night snack attacks hit! Lois (Front Desk) was EXCELLENT every step of the way. Her attention and care in providing exceptional customer service was on point and never wavered! Every evening the hotel hosts a social. It is completely free and includes delicious eats and drinks (non-​alcoholic and alcoholic). The event is a great opportunity to unwind after a busy day. Debra is the woman in charge of the evening socials and she is WONDERFUL! She was always engaging and welcoming. The pool was always clean and my children had great fun there. I can’t say enough great things about this hotel. My family and I had a really great time. The hotel is only a 20 minute drive from downtown Memphis, but the surrounding area/​neighborhood the hotel is in is packed full of everything that one would need (Target, fast food, movie theaters, etc.). Wish I could go back to Memphis just to stay at this great hotel again!

I love this place, probably the best hotel in Memphis in terms of price and features.
The staff here are GREAT. I’ve stayed here a few times, including one time for an extended period so I’m definitely familiar with this place. There are so many perks, I can’t even think of them all.
Laundry facilities in house, and they’re totally free. Seriously, any time you can just walk down (there’s even a laundry basket in each room) and do your laundry, for free. Washer and dryer. There’s free breakfast. During the week they have dinner/​reception and that’s free too. Of course there’s other amenities like free WiFi, parking, pool.
The rooms are huge. It’s basically a one-​bedroom apartment. You have a living room, separate dining area (yep, there’s a table in there), full kitchen, bedroom, bathroom… everything.
There’s also loads to do right nearby. There’s a Benihana just next door, a movie theater really close by (seriously, go check it out, it’s a fantastic theater), and about a block away is a pretty big strip mall: Target, several chain restaurants. Another block away is even more places to eat, such as PF Chang’s and Five Guys. Oh and there’s a complimentary shuttle, so if you’re in town on business and don’t have a car, you can still get to all of these places without having to rely on a taxi.
Bottom line, if you gotta get a hotel in Memphis, this is the place to stay.

Outstanding. Best hotel experience ever. Check in was fast, the attendant even called to see if we needed anything after we were settled in. Really great accommodations and even better if you have (well behaved) pets.
I’ve stayed in a lot of 4 and 5 star hotels, but this one has most of those beat. The balance of customer service and privacy is great, and everyone was very helpful and friendly.

I love this place. I’m here in this spacious room, watching Hector and the search for happiness (movie is great) on the DVD player in the comfy bed with fluffy pillows. The staff, shout outs to Lois and Hayes, are genial, helpful, genuine, etc. The room is way bigger than I expected, bigger than a room I had at a resort. It didn’t feel like they tried to fit in all the suite furniture in a space too small to accommodate it like in some other hotels. I am so glad the Hilton was full. The prices are better and I could entertain in here!
I was waiting on a package and Lois called me to let me know it arrived before UPS informed me via text.
The breakfast buffet is generous and appealing and vast. Ripe cut and whole fruit, many types of yogurt, French toast, etc. And they are so clever there are to-​go bags for those who need them (you may have to ask for utensils). The selections of meat and breakfast breads change daily.
You don’t quite have to play chicken getting across the street to the Hilton, but be careful.
Restaurants (local and chain), Target, a public library branch, Whole Foods and Kroger, and cheaper gas are within 10 minutes drive. You can walk to Benihana and a movie theater/​restaurant where you can see the latest independent films.
The only cons I can think of are that smokers congregate outside the entrance and this is a pet friendly chain. However, even with my serious allergies, the room feels dander-​free.
I haven’t been to happy hour and I wish I could. Food, drink and fun are promised.

The bed was amazingly comfortable.
The breakfast was just enough. I wish they served bacon though. The lady manning the breakfast (a.k.a. Annie Lennox) was a sweetheart. She even offered to take my children! :)

We absolutely loved this place! It’s a perfect mini home with kitchen, living room and private bedroom. We highly recomend! Also, they are pet friendly! We were on a crosscountry moving from Boston to Austin and is was really nice to be able to afford a place like this to relax! Clean, nice staff, close to a lots of shops (whole foods, Corky’s BBQ, Target, Petsmart and more.) Totally worth it! :)

Very nice hotel. Friendly staff. Easy to find. Convenient location.

My husband and I stayed here on a cross-​country trip. We had our two dogs with us and were delighted to find a place that was not only dog-​friendly but dog welcoming! They gave us a little magnet to put on our door notifying staff of a dog in our room. They cut us a break on the price for the dog to $ 25. They were in the middle of a remodel while we were there. The room was really spacious with high ceilings. The bathroom was a little disappointing, but it wasn’t dirty, so no big deal. The furnishings and the carpet were a little worn, but I felt even more comfortable having my dogs there because of it. I feel like most hotels say they are pet friendly, but they really aren’t. This hotel was actually pet friendly. The price was average — about $ 100 plus the pet fee and all the hotel taxes. Internet was free, and the complimentary hot breakfast in the morning was great — eggs, bacon, sausage, make your own waffles, etc. and good coffee. I would stay here again if we are ever in the area. I was actually so impressed with this Staybridge that I sought out another one when we stopped again in Albuquerque!

They were pet-​friendly, well-​furnished, friendly and comfortable. No complaints!

Great place to stay in Memphis! Highly highly recommend. The front desk employee Hayes went above and beyond his job when I checked in. Asked him if there were places close by to eat, he immediately gave me some menus and also suggestions for places that would deliver since it was raining outside. Later I had issues with my wireless which he immediately took care of. Clean room, great service, well priced, free breakfast and cocktail hour with appetizers — what more could you ask for?

Cost/​night decreases the longer one stays. Across the street from the Hilton.
Right off the freeway.
Clean, safe, neat facility.
Nice pool.
Free laundry/​drier.
Excellent breakfasts (better than similar places), but some snack time on weekday afternoon ran out of food during the week.

Of the twenty or so IHG hotels that I have stayed in over the past two years, this one is the absolute best. A little hard to find, but well worth it. The front desk staff made me feel very welcome on arrival. After asking for the location of local restaurants so I could determine if we could park there with a trailer, they happily declined to give me a map and instead offered a shuttle to where we needed to go. Now that’s service! The rooms were well insulated, which was nice for us and others — preventing my daughters noise from going out while at the same time keeping outside noise from coming in. Truely the definition of Southern Hospitality.

I have nothing negative to say about this property. Extremely friendly staff. Damon at the front desk was accommodating, helpful, and so kind. After learning about my rough day, he tried to expedite the process, made good conversation, and gave me a cold bottle of water which goes a long way in the Memphis heat. It was my first taste of southern hospitality. The room was HUGE, clean, and comfortable. I wish I could’ve taken the bed linens and mattress home. The shower was hot with good water pressure. Free laundry!!! The fully equipped kitchen would be nice if I was there longer. The suites even come with dishwashers and soap unlike Extended Stays! HIGHLY recommended!

I’m a frequent business traveler and recently relocated to Memphis. I resided at this hotel for close to two months (with a few absences for business travel). The staff and management are very courteous and professional. The rooms (stayed in a couple) are clean and well-​appointed (for this class of hotel). The area is geographically-​centric to many restaurants along Memphis’ main retail and restaurant strip… Poplar Avenue. Convenient to Germantown. Twenty minutes from downtown. Twenty minutes to the airport. Any time of day, easy to get a good rest (quiet!). Relocation is highly stressful, but this facility and the staff made it easier. They even provided me with a storage locker during my absences.

Stayed for 5 nights for work in Memphis and we used a meeting room.
Loved that the room was like a small apartment with a kitchen area, tv area with couch and separate bedroom. Furniture and décor was modern and comfortable. Staff was excellent. Mike & Penelope on the front desk were very professional. Eric, staff member, helped get silverware and plates when our caterer forget them. Theresa, staff member, got additional drinks and coffee when asked. There were a handful of other staff members whose names I don’t have who also assisted to make our stay comfortable. Thanks Staybridge for a lovely trip.
