Hu. Hotel
"My husband and I stayed here for a staycation for our anniversary. The carpets and furniture had stains. Our free breakfast I paid for was not on the reservation. When I called to find out where to park, no one answered the phone. Would not stay here again."

The Guest House at Graceland
"The place is clean and nice but it's a lower end 4 star, no complimentary water in room or water stations except in the lobby during the evening. Very basic bathroom amenities, charge for parking even though it's way out of town in a cheap area. They charge the same as Peabody which is much better. ..."
