Good Features, Good Rates

If you want a place with a kitchen/kitchenette and room to stretch out in, it's a nice place. Don't expect amenities such as an ice machine (I gather they expect you to use the two ice trays in the full-size fridge; bring a cooler if you want to ice down some wine). The kitchen is a nice feature. We like to stay at ESA's when we travel for that very reason.
Don't expect a swimming pool, workout room or business center (although they do have Internet access from the rooms if you have a laptop and that's your thing). There are plenty of multi-state chain-type restaurants in the area if you enjoy them; ask for recommendations about non-chain restaurants and you may find a treasure trove. This hotel is convenient to the Interstate. It's out of the way of the airport (always a plus in my book if you're driving rather than flying) and well away from touristy things such as Graceland or Beale Street, although you can always get there if you really want to!
We've stayed at this hotel several times in the last three years and were always happy with it.
