After our Motel 6 incident we decided to head on over here! This hotel is really close to Graceland, no reservations are needed, and is pet friendly!!! Oh and also has a ton of Elvis crap everywhere, yea!!!! They even have a freakin awesome guitar shaped pool, too bad it was humid and 85 degrees and then suddenly tornado weather when I dropped by, lol.
The rooms are nice and clean with comfy beds and pillows. They also have a good sized tv, fridge, and microwave. All the decor is kinda retro and funky, and there are Elvis portraits on the wall of course. The area is not very loud since it is a few miles away from any highways, so you will sleep pretty well here. There's a channel that shows Elvis movies 24/7 but it didn't work, so fail right there Graceland Days Inn. I was excited about that after reading about it in the other Yelp reviews.
The complimentary breakfast in the morning was actually pretty good. There are lots of options: waffles, toast, fruit, cereal, etc. I wish there was soy milk though, so I can eat the cereal somewhere where there's a complimentary breakfast one of these days! I know, I'm getting greedy and picky over a free breakfast. Also, the breakfast cafe is all decked out in Elvis stuff too, so enjoy while you eat.
Also, when we were checking the power went out in the entire Days Inn!!! It was pitch black in all of the room and lobby, I guess this is a problem in Memphis, lol. This part of Memphis is definitely not the nicest part of town, but it is where Graceland is, and wayyyyy better then West Memphis. So if you want a nicer area stay closer to downtown Memphis and drive over to Graceland, and pay the $10 to park there.
Oh yea, and how can I forget the best part of all, Graceland is walking distance, so you can wake up and walk on over to start your Graceland tour. :) There is Heartbreak Hotel right next to Graceland which is definitely closer, but way more expensive and probably only a little nicer than this place, which is good enough and only $75 a night.
