I stayed at Gen X for one night out of my 7 night reservation. My coworkers and I asked several times if the staff could recommend a place to have dinner and we kept getting the suggestion to order in. That should have been our first clue. We walked to a local place and saw about 5 police cars with... more

Purpose of our trip was Beale Street, and we stayed at Gen X for three days, Extremely clean, pleasant and helpful staff, attractive rooms. We had no trouble getting downtown--we rode the trolley, took cabs (there were four of us) and drove--no problems. Would recommend this place to anyone. more

I arrived on a stormy night... needless to say, about 3 hrs after check-in, the entire hotel had a power surge and only emergency lights came on. The alarm clock was reset (didn't realize until morning after) and I am thankful the backup wake up call. The staff was very apologetic about the power outage and got it restored before... more

The Gen X is a nice and clean Hotel. It is located close to Beale St but not walking distance. The trolley is nearby but we resorted to taking cabs back and forth. Beds are comfortable, showers are good, and a great plasma tv. They had a small refrigerator in the room which was nice. No wireless internet except in... more

We were recently in town for the Liberty Bowl. We chose this hotel because of its price and location to the trolley line. The trolley stopped 2 blockes in either direction of the hotel, so it was an easy walk, and I didn't feel like I was in an area that wasn't safe. The rooms were spacious, we had three... more

The Gen-x is well worth a look if going to Memphis. Check in was easy is and organized. We asked to switch to a room closer to the other family we were traveling with and the clerk quickly took care of the change. The room was spacious and clean. The flat screen t.v. was a nice touch. The only complaints... more

I recently stayed in Memphis for 3 nights with my partner, on our extended trip around Europe & the USA. It was the end of the summer season but still exceptionally hot in Memphis. We did not have a car, but managed to make our way around many of the city attractions without too much trouble. We booked our accommodation... more

I love this hotel, The concept is wonderful. It's art deco appearance really works. It is modern with a friendly staff. Just minutes from downtown, the trolley took us everywhere we needed to go. I will be back and recommend it to anyone coming to Memphis. more

We checked into the Gen X Inn on Madison Ave. Tuesday July 29th, 2008 and had planned on staying a total of seven nights. On the morning of Friday August 1st, we found that our vehicle had been broken into. The driver's door window was shattered, the interior covered in broken glass and the contents ransacked. My stereo receiver /... more

I stayed on my way through Memphis. It was a great price. The rooms are very nice and large with great amenities. The internet connection was super fast! I took the streetcar downtown and had no problems. On the way home it was raining hard, so the streetcar driver dropped me off right front of the hotel. I would recommend... more
