I have never stayed in Memphis and am looking for a place for Friday. I know lots of folks are at the Peabody which is both sold out and way out of my price range. Does anyone have any other suggestions for a place to stay that is close to the area? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

FYI, you want to be near Beale street, not near the campus.
or you might be able to find a deal on a casino room just south of town in Tunica. about 25 minute drive.

This is what you want, for sure. Very close to the Madison hotel, a few blocks from Beale.
EDIT: Honestly, there are a decent amount of the standard Marriot/Comfort Inn type hotels in downtown Memphis. Most of them should be good, just shop for the best rate. You absolutely want to be in downtown Memphis though, not more than 2 miles from Beale I'd say. Once you get outside of the downtown Memphis area it gets really spread out so don't be fooled by a hotel saying they are "only" however far from downtown. You want to be
in downtown. Otherwise you'll spend money on super sketchy Memphis cab rides (and I mean like I have never been uncomfortable in a cab besides in Memphis sketchy) and it'll end up costing more than just paying the downtown hotel's rate.

Got a 'top secret' from travelocity and landed at the Crowne Plaze. Sounds pretty good for $90. Hope it is close to anything. Thanks for all the suggestions.
