Although this hotel is a bit old, the rooms were clean. If you are looking for a place to lie your head down for the night, then this is the place. If you are looking for pampering, then this is not the place. Very close to airport and convenient to the Interstate and tourist attractions. It was just what we... more

I have to agree with the most recent review. I wasn't frightened to be in the room, and was fine during the day. I did not feel like my (rental) car was in any peril. However, like a lot of places, I wouldn't walk around the streets at night. Very close to the 55 freeway, minutes to Graceland, a few... more

The reviews that say this hotel is unsafe or a rip off are not the experience we had. I wouldn't go walking around the neighborhood alone at night but the hotel itself seemed fine. The room was very clean. Sheets and bedding seemed new. There was even free breakfast. There was some traffic noise and occasionally we could hear planes... more

I never got to stay here. What a rip off!!!!! I was going to be in town for a church convention. The desk worker tried to charge me $145 for a $45 room. He said that all the hotels would be charging around the same price because of the COGIC convention. When I explained that I had seen his regular... more

My 2 daughters and I were very tired and needed rest before driving on. All hotels were full as it was August. I felt it was unsafe but we were going to get rest. Paid for the room and my daughter was given the key card and went to open the room. Alas, it was already occupied and by a... more

Booked this for three nights, requested a non-smoking room. Owners presented it as a 3-star hotel. Was not safe - afraid to leave vehicle in parking lot. Room was reeking of cigarette smoke. Requested another room and was told that it was non-smoking. Room also smelled of smoke. I am allergic to cigarette smoke and was reacting before I got... more

Stayed a few times in this motel. It's located close to Graceland and the Memphis Airport. It's a nice alternative for visitors to Graceland. Most of the hotels/motels have high(er) rates during Elvis birthday week (in January) and Elvis Memorial week (August) but this motel always has its reasonable (lower) rates. Clean rooms, nothing fancy but just what you would... more
