La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Memphis Wolfchase

The inviting earth-toned lobby has a modern, yet cozy vibe, with leather armchairs, leaf-patterned rugs, a fireplace flanked by bookcases that serve as a small library for guests, and splashes of green in the cushions and vases. The breakfast room, with two large windows framed by green drapes and a flat-screen TV in the middle, is right off the lobby. Far from the Beale Street music scene and downtown, La Quinta Inn & Suites Memphis Wolfchase is a quiet hotel that tends to draw families and couples due to its rates that are lower than those in central Memphis, but its meeting spaces, business center, and easy access to the interstate attract business travelers too.

Off Interstate 40 on the outskirts of Memphis, La Quinta Inn & Suites Memphis Wolfchase is a seven-minute walk to the Wolfchase Galleria Shopping Mall and a 12-minute drive to the sprawling Shelby Farms Park, one of the country's largest urban green spaces. With several other hotels nearby, there are plenty of fast food and casual dining options within a five-minute walk, including the Texas Roadhouse, Hooters, O'Charleys, Burger King, and Steak 'n Shake. It's a 25- to 30-minute drive to downtown Memphis and sights like Beale Street, the National Civil Rights Museum, and the Museum of American Soul Music. The Memphis Zoo takes 20 minutes to reach by car, while Elvis Presley's Graceland, Memphis International Raceway, and Memphis International Airport are a 25-minute drive from the hotel depending on traffic.

The 67 spacious rooms here continue the design motif of the hotel's public areas, with plenty of earth tones throughout. Large dark wood headboards look sharp against dark taupe accent walls and gray patterned carpets, and they pick up the eye-catching wood laminate floors in the rooms' entryways. Black-and-white photos on the wall add to the sober-but-stylish vibe and complement dark contemporary furniture. There is a wide array of room sizes to choose from, including Double Rooms and King Suites to Two-Room Family Suites. All rooms come with microwaves, mini-fridges, coffeemakers, work desks, 42-inch flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. Bathrooms are spacious and stylish too, with dark wood laminate floors and granite countertops. They include shower/tub combos, toiletries, and hairdryers, though King Suites come with jetted tubs.

For a value property, this hotel offers a nice amount of features, including free breakfast and parking. Breakfast includes waffles, hot and cold cereal, bread and muffins, fruit, and unlimited coffee and tea. An attractive indoor saltwater swimming pool sits adjacent to a hot tub, and there's a fitness center with treadmills and a range of weight-training equipment. A business center and meeting facilities are also available, along with a coin-operated laundry. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property. Pets are allowed here with restrictions.
