If you're looking for the Elvis experience look no further! This unique hotel is wonderful. Vibrant color schemes and funky patterns bring the ambiance of the hotel together perfectly. The staff are very helpful and kind. The rooms are quiet and comfortable. Softest sheets I've found in a hotel! There are microwaves, vending machines, and ice on every floor. Two restaurants are available on the lobby level as well as a cafe. They also offer their peanut butter/ jelly sandwich bar until 10pm. They will also shuttle you to and from Graceland where you can tour Elvis' home. A hotel shuttle is also available and runs every 30 minutes starting at 4am. During the warmer months they have a large outdoor pool open. This is a non-smoking hotel, but there is a patio outside for a designated smoking area.
My mom has always loved Elvis so we took our girls trip out to Graceland and stayed at the guest house. We loved this place! It was so relaxing and enjoyable! Very clean and everyone we encountered from staff to other guests were so friendly. The lady that checked us in was nice and gave us a quick run down on what they offer there. Our room was nice clean and spacious. We plan to go back in spring and I’m hoping they can give us the same room number we had. I mean, if they were serious about listening to guests I do have some suggestions and ideas. I don’t want to post it here cause it may sound like flaws and all people should know is this is a lovely place to stay!!!
We stayed for two nights. Our room was very nice and clean. Probably the best hotel shower I've ever used. The bed was extremely firm but there were 6 pillows on the bed which was nice. I believe the hotel may have had some burst pipes with the snow/ice storm last week so a lot of areas were closed off and under construction. The hallways to the room smelled terrible like mildew. Not sure if the busted pipes could create a smell like that so fast or not but it was terrible. The rooms did not smell though, thank God. The staff was okay-- some better than others. Some didn't seem too happy to help. Other than that, the shuttle to Graceland was very convenient and appreciated. We also ate at a restaurant called Marlowe's while we were there! You can call them and schedule a time for them to pick you up in a pink Cadillac limo and they take you to the restaurant and drop you back off, all complimentary. It was a nice trip!
Hotel is very clean and comfortable. The beds are comfortable and supportive. The shower is spacious and a welcome relaxation. The swimming pool area is nice with plenty of seating available. Restaurants in hotel have weird hours and are even closed some days. The prices are high but the food quality is good. They have live music in the evenings, but again not all evenings. So your visit may be hit or miss. The staff are amazing and make you feel very welcome. They have a free shuttle bus to and from the airport, just call ahead to make arrangements.
This was our first time to this hotel, we traveled by car , when you arrive there's a guard shack . I told the guard I was checking in, she told me to pull up to the next gate which opened . We parked in front, check in was quick they were friendly and polite. They gave us our room key cards and said same card was to be used to enter and exit the parking area . The room was very large smelled nice , the beds were very comfortable good pillows. There was a fridge and microwave , plenty of towels. The room was very nicely decorated. There was an in room menu for room service, we ordered a sandwich and burger with fries. They came in about 15 minutes. The food was hot and good size portions . We walked the entire hotel area. The outdoor pool was very clean with plenty of outdoor seating. Inside they had a gift shop, restaurant, movie theater which was bigger than some I have been too. They show an Elvis movie every night at 7 pm. The bar that had live music. From 10 pm till 11 pm, they serve peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the guest to enjoy at no charge . We enjoyed the breakfast buffet it cost $20 person. Every staff member we spoke to was very friendly and helpful. The location is not the safest, I would use caution if walking around the neighborhood. We are already planning on when we can go back even if you are not an Elvis fan it is an awesome hotel.
My best and oldest friend and I took a girls vacation and stayed at the Guesthouse for 2 of our vacation days together and we were so glad we did. This is an absolutely beautiful hotel and I would highly recommend! The valet was super helpful when arriving. The interior was immaculate and the lobby furnishings really cool. There was a mix up with my reservations no ones fault and the manager cleared everything up in a minute and we were in business. The room was amazingly clean and comfortable. Room service a bit pricey but definitely affordable of course, all room service, everywhere, is pricey so that was to be expected. The room service delivery came hot and was very good and had awesome proportions. The folks who delivered the food always were kind and attentive. Though Graceland was just across the street we had so many activities planned, we didn't have time but understand its really a neat place hopefully next time! The Guesthouse is also just a hop, skip and a jump from so many things to do. We were told to check out Beale Street and that's exactly what we did and had a blast. Definitely a tourist spot but still a "not to be missed" location to check out. I would also suggest checking out the Bass Pro Shop pyramid which was unbelievable and the riverboat cruises are amazing! Thank you to all the Staff that made such a small portion of our vacation a high point! Keep it up! Sincerely, April Baker and Linda Arnold
Very clean and beautiful, from the lobby to public restrooms to guest rooms. Both the bed and the pillows were supremely comfortable, and the shower was fantastic. Gated parking was very well lit and felt safe and secure. Location was great too, and we took advantage of the shuttle transportation to Graceland as well. I wish I had brought a swimsuit, because the pool looked amazing. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Memphis.
The Guest House is a good place to stay when visiting Graceland. We appreciated the complimentary shuttle. Nice dinner at the hotel, although the service was really slow, and the beds were quite comfortable. Just be aware that the bottled water in the rooms are $12 each...no posted signs, it'll just show up on your bill. Would have expected this as complimentary as it is in most upscale hotels. Oh yeah, parking isn't free either.
The Guest house is very elegant and clean. The 7pm Elvis movies and concerts in the theater were awesome. Also, the shower is really amazing. The only downside was the shuttle didn't go to Beale St. as in the past and no indoor pool and no place to buy any toiletries in the hotel. A special THANK YOU to our favorite shuttle driver, Cheryl. She went above and beyond to help us when we were stranded by 2 taxis. Plus she was so much fun !
Elvis theme, gift shop, and general aesthetic is very nice. Airport shuttle was problematic and there wasn't enough information for the shuttle service on the website, ended up having to pay for a taxi when the direct free phone shuttle call at the airport wouldn't work. The room was nicely decorated, quiet, spacious, and generally clean. Breakfast is way overpriced for a simple hot buffet. Food quality could have been better particularly for the cost. Lots of extra fees that add up making the overall value for money pretty poor. That said it's probably one of the nicer options locally outside of downtown.
