About Key Motel
Key Motel has been a fixture on Lester Street since the 1970s — long before Memphis became a destination for foodies and music lovers, we were already here, offering travelers a reliable place to rest their heads.
We're not a chain. We don't do keycards that fail or hidden fees. What we do is simple: keep the rooms clean, the rates fair, and the front desk friendly. If you're passing through town, visiting the University of Memphis, or catching a show at the Pyramid, this is your home base.
Located just off Interstate 40 with easy access to downtown, the Mid-South Fairgrounds, and some of the best BBQ in the country — we put you where you need to be.
