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
Close to Graceland museum- walkable. Elvis themed and retro vibe. Entertainment nightly consisting of singers, Elvis movies and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and milk at night. Would definitely recommend as a “must do”.
