What a disappointment.
I booked the hotel for our first night in Memphis after travelling to LA and Vegas - (the only night of our 3 night stay that was available) as a surprise for our friends. Thought it would be great to stay so close to Graceland as huge Elvis fans and we were very excited!
The reception area is themed and has a small fifties style TV showing Elvis films. Plastic plants everywhere.
We were greeted by a receptionist who was efficient but shall we say had a less than enthusiastic attitude. Told us that we have a deluxe complimentary breakfast included.
Took the elevator to our rooms. The corridors reminded me of a hostel - stained carpeting and very basic decor. Once inside our room, it was again very basic - twin double beds with a couple of Elvis prints on the wall. Our room overlooked the pool but it was covered over. The bed linen left a lot to be desired and the pillows smelt used. Bathroom facilites very basic and small. Also visited by a cockroach.
Walked across to Graceland - fab!
Ate at Marlows and transported by pink cadillac which was cool. The food there was OK - nice t-bone steaks.
Next morning we looked forward to our "deluxe" breakfast to be greeted by a stark, school cafeteria like area, with polystyrene plates and cups and plastic cutlery. Very weak coffee, mini muffins, cereal, fresh fruit and toast. Also biscuits and gravy. Had to clear plates into bins provided. Not impressed.
Overall, extremely disappointed with what was to be the highlight of our holiday accommodation and glad we only booked one night's stay here.
