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."

Big Cypress Lodge
"We loved the lodge decor and spacious room. It was so quiet we slept very well on a comfortable king size bed. The only concern was there weren’t enough choices for restaurants in the complex. Driving through Memphis was not a good option so we ate at Wahlburgers twice and then didn’t eat anymore ..."
