Relax Inn Memphis — Hotel in Memphis

First Motel on US 61 (1.5 miles North of TN State Line). Sign on it's North side was broken. Sign coming from the South is blocked by a sign for another business. Message on sign says that this is the "cleanest and newest motel on US 61" but this isn't the case. Stayed here four years ago so this motel isn't new. The only thing new are the owners who are other members of the Asian American Hotel Association (Patels from India). I should have passed on the room when I got into the office. There was a thick Plexiglas window at the counter with microphone and speaker along with a trap door. This was new. Person asked me if I wanted the room for the whole night. Meaning that this motel might allow the rooms to be rented out by the hour for prostitution. Most of the rooms were supposed to be non-smoking so there were a lot of cigarette butts in the parking lot. Other trash needed to be picked up in parking lot. Enclosure around the dumpster was bent up. Had to go to the office twice to get a good door key to get into room. Air in the room was very stale. Had to ask for air freshener. Smoke detector missing. Deadbolt on door but no security chain. Noisy fluorescent bedside lights (ballasts needs to be replaced). A couple of the electrical outlets had broken covers (fire danger). Bathroom door had two large holes busted into it near the top of the door, Five panel mirror on wall next to bed. Only idea for position of mirror panels is for viewing sex. One of the mirror panels had a large piece of mirror missing at the bottom. Mini fridge in room but no microwave. Does have flat screen TV fastened to a wall. Nothing to hang clothes up (no coat rack). For air conditioning or heat, you have to ask the person in office to flick a switch. Phone in room also needs to be turned on before you leave the office. No breakfast provided. Two gas stations and dollar stores close by. Did not see any fast food places or restaurants close by. $5 deposit for key and remote. Person in the office did give me a snack bag (2 bags of chips, small bag of peanuts, small bag of chocolate chip cookies, candy bar, and small...

This was the ABSOLUTE WORST MOTEL that I have ever stayed in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I drove 19 hours to attend a special event in the area and decided to give this place a try because they claimed to have been "newly remodeled" and to have "big tv's".... well they had big tv's but only had 6 channels and 2 of them didn't have sound!!!! The newly remolded room only had a new sink, everything else was in a deplorable / condemned state! I had to go next door to the family dollar and buy cleaning supplies and scrub everything including the walls which had dried snot on it! The doors look like they had never been wiped down.... ever. The bathroom was horrible. The sheets and top blanket had so much DNA stains on it. We bought sheets and blankets from the Family Dollar as well. We found a needle embedded in the carpet. The boxspring for the mattress was about 1 inch think because it was completely broken. And this is not the worst part..... They were running a prostitution ring out of the three rooms next to us! The amount of men and women we saw going in and out of those rooms was crazy. At one point my hubby & I was walking from the store and the room door was wide open for one of the rooms and there it was, for everyone to see.... a prostitute giving a guy a blow job!!!!! I was so pissed off! Then,, checkout was at 11 and at 11:05 the AC goes off and we call the front desk to ask why it was off and he tells me checkout was at 11, I explain that we had a 19 hour drive and was trying to get out as quickly as we could but needed a few more minutes. I have NEVER been to a hotel, motel or inn where they have turned off the air because you were 5 minutes past checkout. Where do they do that at..... oh yeah The Relax Inn in Memphis TN. Don't ever stay there. Just...

Currently staying in this hotel for the night. We purchased 2 queen beds in a non-smoking room. When we walked in the room had very stale air and smelt like somebody had just smoked in it. The smoke alarm was missing which is not safe for the guests who are staying there. Starting with the beds, there were two holes on one side of one of the beds, a hair ball in the middle of the bed, and the sheets smelt like they had not been washed. The room itself was very dated, it really needs an update with the beds and other things in the room. The tv wasn't nice either, but didn't really bother us all to well. Down where we stayed there was a close Dollar General near bye where we had bought air fresher to help control the odor. The bathrooms had little black pieces of hair on top of the toilet, the bathroom tile had pieces missing, and there was no added shampoo, conditioner etc. My biggest problem I think of all was the sleeping. The room had multiple bugs who annoyed me all night. Overall the place was terrible in my opinion and I would never stay there again. I don't recommend this hotel to anybody especially travelers who want a good night sleep and to wake up fresh in the morning. Save your money for a better hotel even if it's a little...
