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 rooms were very clean, each and every member of the staff was kind, extremely helpful, caring and excited to helping us have the best experience not only in their hotel but also in the city. I can not stress enough that this was the very best experience we have ever had at any hotel. Top notch ...
