Memphis area guide for visiting ASPs: V2.0

[Satyrrical]

I've revised my post from years ago where I tried to help the visiting ladies. I have removed the actual hotel names I had listed from my other post as they seem to change owners and brand names every other week.

240/Poplar

This seems to be the most popular area to stay for visiting ASPs. It offers a good central location between downtown and the more affluent areas of the city out east. It is relatively safe and has decent dining opportunities.


Downtown
https://www.google.com/maps/place/35...5!4d-90.049782

This would be the location visitors stay for the tourist experience as it is close to Beale St. and sorta near Graceland (never been). As with most downtown areas, parking sucks. You will be panhandled at some point even though police presence is fairly high. If you like ribs, the famous Rendezvous is nearby (not a fan). I don’t feel as safe in this area as the others I will mention.


I-40/Sycamore View

This area looks good on the internet, but it isn't. Most of the properties are run down and offer hourly rates. Dining here is mostly fast food. Safe-ish. High police presence and they are looking for us.


Germantown
https://www.google.com/maps/place/35...8!4d-89.810829

This area is known for being one of the most affluent suburbs. It has rules about store fronts and signs, traffic cameras, highly enforced speed zones, boutique shopping, boutique eating, yadda yadda, pretty safe area. It is southeast of Memphis proper and may not be convenient for some.


Wolfchase

This is one of the newest areas of the city. It is also fairly affluent. Lots of chain dining. I’d say it as safe as Germantown. It is northeast of Memphis and may not be convenient for some (although the most convenient for me ).


Avoid other areas.

Enjoy your stay.
