Top South Main Hotel Reviews

The Guest House at Graceland

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were friendly. Late night pb&j was a great snack . Room was comfortable, Only thing we were disappointed in was the theater cancelled week of Elvises movies every night. Because of some other event going on. All three of us felt we missed out on movies we haven’t seen in years. It was advertised they would be playing them and we came to the theater and us and other people waited for them to open and finally a security guy came and told us it would not be playing. The Guest house needs to do better by posting info on the reader board, front check in desk. Big sign at theater to let guests know. We went to front desk to let them know people were still walking down to see it."
