Memphis is a city rich with culture and history. From the iconic Beale Street to Graceland, there is much to see and do in Memphis. However, when it comes to where to stay while in Memphis, many visitors are unsure of what to do. Should they stay in a hotel? Should they stay in a Memphis Airbnb? What are the pros and cons of each?
Here, we will break down the pros and cons of staying in a hotel vs. staying in an Airbnb in Memphis. We will also discuss some of the best areas in Memphis to stay, depending on what you are looking for.
Staying in a Hotel in Memphis
There are many reasons why you might choose to stay in a hotel while in Memphis. Hotels offer a sense of consistency and luxury that many people are looking for when travelling. Hotels also offer a wide range of amenities, such as pools, spas, fitness centres, and restaurants. Additionally, hotels typically include breakfast in your stay, which can be a great way to start your day in Memphis.
The downside of hotels is that they can be quite expensive, especially during peak tourist season. Additionally, hotels can be quite large and impersonal, which may not be ideal for some travellers.
Some of the best areas to stay in a hotel while in Memphis are Downtown, South Main, and Midtown.
Staying in an Airbnb in Memphis
Airbnbs are becoming increasingly popular in Memphis, as they offer travellers a more unique and local experience. An Airbnb can be a great way to really get to know Memphis, as you are likely to be staying in a neighbourhood rather than in the tourist district. Additionally, Airbnb hosts often include local recommendations of things to do and see in their area.
The downside of Airbnb is that they can be quite variable in terms of quality and price. It is important to do your research before booking an Airbnb to make sure you are getting what you expect. Additionally, if you are looking for lots of amenities, an Airbnb may not be the best option for you.
Some of the best areas to stay in an Airbnb while in Memphis are Downtown, Cooper-Young, and East Memphis.
