The Guest House at Graceland
Pay to park your car at the property??? Reception was noisy, messy and not very pleasant Room was good overall. Broken tile in shower and not very sound proof but we were satisfied overall. Cleaning lady was very kind. Overall, it is very convenient for Graceland and that’s it really.
