9.2/10 Wonderful! (2,835 reviews)

Very friendly staff and they are always available. Beautiful lobby with cool couches and big chairs. Fresh ice water and fruit infused water in the lobby. There is an Elvis movie in the attached theater every night. Pb&j sandwiches at 9pm is a fun free treat. Beautiful large outdoor pool. I appreciate security at the driveway entrance. Easy parking and valet if you prefer. We ate at both EP's restaurant and Delta's and service is amazing. Delicious food. The hotel is large and spacious. Fun details throughout to showcase the one and only Elvis. The room was nicely decorated and the bathroom was spacious with a gorgeous shower! Comfortable beds. Plenty of outdoor seating outside in both front and back of the property and by the pool. Shuttles run every half hour to take you to the Graceland property and museums. We loved our stay!

The room was bigger than i expected. Had a full kitchen which i didnt expect. Private balcony with nice view. Within walking distance to everything. Dislikes were no shower curtain, hair dryer was broken and in pieces, breakfast was just muffins and yogurt and the pool was pretty chilly considering it was suppose to be heated. Mandy (staff member) was awesome. Very helpful. Id rate her 5 stars.
