Hu. Hotel
Staff was great! The room was spacious and clean, very nicely decorated with a comfy bed. We enjoyed the view from the rooftop too. Walked to Beale Street and had dinner at BB Kings Blues Bar with live music.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Memphis Airport Graceland
It’s just an ok hotel. I was expecting a little better, but it wasn’t the worst. You can it’s an older hotel that the company is trying to keep current, but there are signs.
