Hu. Hotel
Wish there were coffee makers in each room… rather in the lobby. The roof top lounge was the bomb though!

The Guest House at Graceland
The room was very unique and well laid out. A few restaurants on site and live band, an Elvis movie at their theater was great and free PBJ and chocolate milk at 9. Free shuttles every half hour to Graceland Mansion. Enjoyed our stay.
