"Let me 1st say staff was exceptional 👏! Bed slanted uncomfortably and very visible. Shower did not drain well. Carpet in common areas has seen better days. Room quiet but you could hear other rooms plumbing."

The Guest House at Graceland
"Some staff members were very helpful. I wish I’d gotten their names. Front desk, information and bar tender were good. Housekeeping left a bit to be desired. Room was clean but supplies weren’t refreshed and we had to call for them. And … enough Elvis music to last a very long time."
