SM 201 · Historic South Main Gem with 100% Modern updates!

What used to be the "Ambassador Hotel" is now breathing with new life! This historic property was fully renovated from head to toe (but with much of the original character still intact). The brick exterior and interior walls add a lot of charm to this perfectly located downtown property with parking!
Your apartment is 1 of 10 equipped with its own washer and dryer, a super-comfy queen-sized bed, smart TV, SUPERFAST WIFI, and the convenience of a delicious restaurant right downstairs.

From the historic exposed brick walls to your front door everything has been renovated! Equipped with your own kitchen (and all the cooking essentials incl. salt, pepper, and olive oil) a washer and dryer if you will be staying with us a bit longer, smart TV linked to WIFI. Cozy seating areas, a kitchen table to enjoy a home-cooked meal, a delicious meal from the restaurant downstairs, or use it as a space to get some work. You will feel right at home :)

The Ambassador by Midtown Stays has its own parking lot next to the hotel and every guest gets one dedicated parking space. You can walk to everything downtown Memphis has to offer, including the famous Beal St, The Orpheum Theater, FedEx Forum, Dozens of Restaurants & Bars, and The National Civil Rights Museum.

Your apartment has digital door locks so you can check in on your own! So meeting you there in person won't be necessary but we will be available 24/7 if you need anything at all just send us a quick message!

Your apartment is located right next to everything! Out front of the historic Ambassador hotel, you'll see the trolley passing by on a regular basis on S. Main street where many fantastic dining and entertainment options are located (including "South on Beale" the restaurant on the first floor of your building! No car necessary here (although you will have a dedicated parking place). You can walk across the street and catch some live music or walk a couple of minutes more and find yourself on the famous Beale St!

Hop on the trolley out the front door of your building, rent a bike or scooter from across the street, grab an Uber, or... if you are feeling adventurous, take a seat on one of the horse carriages that pass by regularly! Plenty of transportation options at your fingertips and a short uber ride to the airport (~15 min)


***Other things to note:
We are right above SOB Restaurant and there will be noise that's noticeable during their normal hours of operation of 11am-9pm (10pm on weekends). We feel the convenience and fun nightlife energy just adds to the experience, but if you need more peace and quite...just make sure you reserve a room on the 3rd floor (units 301-305). Refunds will not be given due to noise level in apartment, rent at your own risk...but trust us, you will love it!

Weekend in Memphis
This is a very nice apartment in the heart of Memphis' entertainment area of South Main. This place is perfect for those who want to party but not those who want to sleep. The music from the bar across the street was extremely loud. The fact that noise machines, ear plugs and sleep masks are provided is evidence of the noise and bright light. Some blackout curtains would go a long way. The key pad entry quit working during out stay and the management wasn't too concerned about it. Overall, nice place just beware of the noise and light.

March stay in Memphis downtown
The place was nice to relax and enjoy conversation. The available list of places to visit in Memphis was very nice. Would have liked a regular coffee maker instead of a single serving coffee maker. Washer and dryer are nice but need instructions for using. Dryer lint filter looked like it has never been cleaned. I would have liked dish rag for cleaning dishes instead of using wash cloth. Also dish soap would be nice instead of hand soap at kitchen sink. A chest of drawers in the bedrooms would have made the stay nicer for arranging my clothes. A vanity in the bathroom would have allowed some space for managing my bathroom suppplies during my stay.

Downtown Memphis
The Ambassador hotel has been remodeled into a beautiful rental near downtown Memphis and the famous Beale Street. The unit is well appointed and has a comfortable yet industrial vibe. Given this is a historic building, the sound carries through the vents. Our host provided sleeping masks, ear plugs, blackout curtains and sound machines in the bedrooms and they were fully utilized throughout our stay. South of Beale (SOB) restaurant is just downstairs. The food was fantastic. We utilized UBER and walked to most of our destinations while staying there. The Peabody Hotel and the marching of the ducks is a must-see while you are in town!

Good find!
Nice clean & modern. Pros: *Two bedrooms with kitchen * Good walking location to historical sites. * Trolley/scooters easy access. * Easy check in & nice people to work with * No car needed Cons: * Noise could be a issue for some, especially on wkends, bar is downstairs but they are up front about it & give you ear plugs, WE never used them & honestly bar closed down early. I stayed during the week. * More breakfast places would be nice, but you have a kitchen, so stop & get some items if that’s issue. * A plus would be to have a tv in bedroom. After a long day & you have a few in your party., it just helps to have more room to relax. This spot is a historical building that’s been transformed to lovely spot to stay! I enjoyed the time & memories of Memphis with my kiddos.

The property was very clean and cozy. I felt at home as far as comfort was concerned. The only negatives were not being able to invite guest over for brief visits. The walls are very thin, so you can hear the neighbors performing daily activities. I heard what sounded like a suitcase being zipped amongst other things. There's a restaurant downstairs and you can hear the patrons enjoying themselves. At night, the hustle and bustle of the streets can be very distracting also. I don't know if it's normally like this because there were a lot of out of towners like myself celebrating Memphis in May. The hosts did provide ear plugs and eye masks to try to counteract the noise.

The property is in the perfect area to park the car and never need it until your check out. You can walk to everything that makes your 1st time in Memphis a memorable one. If you find you do need to drive somewhere everything seems to be within a 10 minute drive at most. All around a great rental and the communication with the owner is also very responsive.
