It was very close to main attractions and it was close to dining venues and music places. Loved moving around places and it was close to parks where there were free events.

Sheraton Memphis Downtown Hotel
Absolutely no issue with the hotel. We had noisy neighbors who were slamming doors at 2am. Did not contact the desk. There would have been nothing they would have been able to do.

The Guest House at Graceland
The hotel staff were all very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Loved the Elvis ambiance. Would like longer hours for gift shop. Would like to be able to watch Elvis movies in the room.
