The Elvis people have missed a trick here - this is slap bang in the middle of the Graceland estate and could be fantastic. Sadly it's a little tired and smelly - certainly not a 'boutique hotel' as described. The staff are great, the location couldn't be better and there are plenty of eating options nearby - but why is the sad, cafeteria-style restaurant/lounge/bar area not tricked out like Graceland's Jungle Room? Why doesn't the kitchen offer more choice and serve it up with real cutlery? Why does the whole hotel smell of old food and wet dog? Why can you see daylight through the holes around the very old AC units in the tired rooms? The place could do with a re-vamp, a clean-up and some imagination and could be an awesome place for Elvis fans to stay. But if you want to sleep as near to the King as you can, park for free and feel safe in an area of Memphis that's a little edgy - it does the job. Stay for one night, see Graceland and then move downtown.
