Hu. Hotel
Did not use the gym across the street. Air conditioning was great. Parking is across the street but plenty of it. The staff is super friendly. But somebody had to do something about the maintenance. Lot of things falling apart

The Guest House at Graceland
The room was spotless! Bed was super comfortable. The staff was amazing!! Loved the free movie , live music , shuttle service and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. The courtyard was so peaceful and loved the fire pit at night. We will definitely be staying here again !
