Default trip to Memphis, TN any tips?

My Dad and I are doing a weekender from St. Louis to Memphis and back, staying Saturday night in Memphis.

I'm hoping some of you can offer some suggestions on an area of the city or surrounding area to stay in a decent motel and get some good food....nothing fancy.

I'm just looking for a motel (with a pool!) in a nice part of town where the bikes will be safe and there's some good Memphis BBQ near by.

we'll be coming in from the west across 55 or 40
