Hu. Hotel
Bed, pillows were comfy. Food was great. Air conditioning worked well but a bit loud when turning on and off.

The Guest House at Graceland
Really nice hotel in an area that is not so nice and the connection to Graceland is great . The shuttle was very convenient and saves money on parking

The Peabody Memphis
We would have liked to see a rubber foot mat in the shower to keep from slipping. My dad is 86. We did have a wonderful time and especially loved the food at Capriccios and the pastry shop across the hall. We will visit again ❤️ ~lori
