SM 303 · Sophisticated Apartment with Historic Charm!
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 :)
**Please see our photos with additional descriptions**
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!

My husband I absolutely enjoyed our stay. The loft was impeccably clean and well decorated. We were conveniently located downtown within walking distance of coffee shops, restaurants, Beale Street, and the Civil Rights Museum. Tim was a great host! We will definitely book again!

This met our needs perfectly -- we were in town for a weekend to help our daughter. This was a perfect central location that was close to her apartment for when she needed our help, but close to Beale St, restaurants, etc for when we had time to ourselves. The dedicated parking spot was particularly helpful. The unit was clean and comfortable, especially the bed!

This property on South Main is the perfect location for exploring Memphis - close to museums, River Walk, Beale Street, Bass Pro Shop, coffee shops and restaurants.
Clean, up-dated, well-appointed, quick response to questions. Great VRBO experience. Thank you for your hospitality.

This unit was amazing. We had no complaints and would absolutely come back the next time we are in Memphis. The communication and check in was easy and the area was great. Short walk to lots of restaurants and activities. 😁

The location of this place was ideal, walking distance to all the major sites and museums. Recently renovated and large for a studio. Two things to be aware of - there are no blackout shades and there is a lot of noise. The host provides eye masks, ear plugs, and a sound machine, but if that isn’t something you want to deal with, probably not the place for you. Host was very responsive and helpful. We enjoyed our stay.

Quick trip to Memphis for a wedding. My place was on the third floor. No elevator to assist with baggage ☹️. Only suggestion is to add a full length mirror somewhere.

Comfortable and newly revamped location. The restaurant on the first floor is extremely convenient. This isn’t for everyone as there is no elevator but it was zero problem for me and my wife. The location is walkable or a short Uber everywhere you’d be in Memphis for. Host is very accessible. Unit is exactly as described. I’ll be looking to book it again.

This gem is located close to everything: the National Civil Rights Museum (a somber but WOW experience), great restaurants and bars (highly recommend the Slider Inn’s “Cuban & Reuben Egg Rolls” and Jamieson Slushies), easy walk to Beale Street (hearing Blind Mississippi Morris at the Blues City Cafe a highlight) and right on the trolley line.
The apartment was clean and bright and well-kept. Everything I needed (except paper towels/napkins) for my 5-day stay.
The owner was very easy to reach and helpful. As a first-time Memphis visitor, the “hints” sheet he left providing suggestions for local restaurants, tourist spots, grocery stores, etc. was a very nice touch. (BTW … Sun Studio’s 45-minute tour was an unexpectedly great surprise, and highly recommended for music buffs).
I’d definitely stay here again if I get back to Memphis.

Great location for local restaurants and museums but only a couple blocks-easy walk to Beale Street.
Apt spacious, quiet and secure. Would stay here again.

Listing is accurate. Stairs, light and some noise to be expected. The only thing I would add is that you do hear the trolley honking as it goes by. We were able to get around easily by walking, driving and riding the trolley. Recommend bringing essentials like snacks and drinks with you. We didn't find any stores near by.

I cannot say enough about our stay and experience with the property! The apartment was just as it is pictured and the description was spot on! The property manager was quick to reply to any and all questions we had! I will definitely seek out another one of these properties again when we go back to Memphis!

This property was exactly as listed. It is adorable, clean, and conveniently centrally located to anything you need. Property manager responds so quickly there was never any communication issues. As my mother and I traveled we felt very safe staying here. There was a security code to enter the building and the another level of security to get into our room.
