Couldn't be any closer to Graceland

We arrived late in the evening, but it was a short journey from Airport. Freshened up and needed somewhere to eat. Enquired ... at the reception and they made a phone call to local restaurant,(about a mile away) who courteously sent a pink Cadillac to pick us up. Nice touch. You couldn't be any closer to Graceland, walking distance. The Hotel staff were friendly, rooms were kept lovely and clean. Bed was very comfortable. Self service breakfast and there was a good selection cereal, breads waffles and fruit, all kept topped up. The only downside for us, was that apart from Graceland there is not much else to do in the area. We didn't pick up the hire car until we were leaving to travel on. Which on hind sight might have been a mistake, as I think you need the car, as the likes of Downtown, Beale street would be a good 20 mins away. All in all we enjoyed our stay at the Days Inn Memphis, and would recommend it to anyone that wanted to visit Graceland.

Remarkable location; good accomadations.

Horrible

Charles Oct 18, 2009

This was one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed at. One of our rooms was infested with bugs. They did move us but not ... until the next day so we had to cram into one room. They refused to give us any sort of refund and did not seem sympathetic with our problem or even concerned about fixing it. They just brushed off the bug problem as if they knew about it and didn't plan on doing anything about it. The beds are also very uncomfortable and we all had trouble sleeping. The pillows were flat and hard and the air conditioning didn't work properly. The only good thing about this hotel was that we really could walk to Graceland. But the surrounding area is not very good.

Nice place

Huge room and bed. First time on a "memory foam" mattress. Took some getting used to but was okay. Guitar shaped pool was ... cute. Super friendly staff. Very helpful. Loved the make your own waffles with the breakfast. The area around the hotel is not the best of neighborhoods but it is also not the worst. I felt safe travelling through but not sure I'd go out for a midnight stroll. It was a good four day stay and was a very good value.

Convenient, great price and service.

Wanted to take my wife to visit Graceland for years. This motel had a great rating and the bonus was a 1/2 block away from ... Graceland (an easy walk even for an old guy like me). Great service, wonderful people, clean rooms. This hotel made it more pleasent (I love friendly folks).

Right opposite Gracelands!

If you are an Elvis fan, you will be in heaven. 24 hour Elvis movies, Elvis music and photos everywhere. The whole hotel ... could do with some maintenance, especially the guitar shaped pool. Gracelands is just across the road.

Unbeatable location

We were there to view Graceland and the marching ducks at the Peabody Hotel plus tasted Uncle Lou's Fried chickens. The ... proximity to Graceland and 24hr. Elvis movies on TV were the selling point for us. Unfortunately, the movies were a joke, half of the time we were staring at the title screen. We had to call down to the front desk numerous to get the movie started. The 24hr. movie was the same movie over and over again for 24hr. or more. We woke up with "Clam Bake" went to bed with it, woke up the next morning with the same movie. The towels were so thin we could see through it, in fact one of them we actually did see through it because there was a hole in it. We did not use the small pool, it didn't look inviting with paint peeling all around and inside the pool. However, the made it yourself waffle at breakfast and the walking distance to Graceland and close proximity to Uncle Lou's Fried chicken were the bright spot on the whole stay.

Outstanding location, just a very short walk to Graceland and other Elvis attractions. Staff was great, room was great for ... the price, and city bus stops just across the street for a short ride to Beale St. attractions. Would highly recommend this motel.

A REALLY GREAT PLACE TO STAY

THE HOTEL WAS A VERY ENJOYABLE PLACE TO STAY. THE STAFF WERE VERY COURTIOUS AND HELPFUL. THE BREAKFAST IN THE MORNING WAS A ... GOOD WAY TO START THE DAY. WE MET THE OWNERS AND THEY WERE VERY HELPFUL IN SHOWING US WHERE TO EAT AND SAVE MONEY AT THE SAME TIME. THE HOTEL WAS VERY CLOSE TO GRACELAND AND WE COULD WALK TO ALMOST ANYTHING THAT WE WANTED TO SEE. WE ENJOYED THE TRIP AND WOULD GO BACK THERE IF WE WENT TO MEMPHIS AGAIN.

Very short walk to Graceland. A great location to visit Elvis's world for any fan. The hotel staff was very courteous & ... helpful. No complaint on the room as it met our needs nicely. Marlowe's BBQ & Pink Caddy Limo service to the Hotel was great! The area around Graceland is one that I'd advise using caution before walking around after dark.

unbeatable location for the price.

Great location and great price! The hotel was walking distance to Graceland and shops. Also the hotel was very clean and ... the staff was friendly and helpful. On the down side, the beds were hard and not very comfortable. Despite that we would definately stay here again.

Walk to Graceland

We stayed at the Days Inn because it was next to Graceland. Even though the location wasn't great we never had a problem but ... due to the area we only left the motel to visit Graceland then we left, we never strayed away to sight see. We walked to Graceland and nearby shoppes. It is a very busy tourist area with lots of people walking the shoppes. Days Inn had a great breakfast and at our stay there were lots of people staying there. Staff was friendly and it had everything that the motel listed so no false advertising.

We went there to visit Memphis and be close to Graceland. The motel was close to Graceland. The staff were friendly and ... helpful. The coffee pot in the lobby had no coffee and the one in the room only made one cup at a time. (There were only 2 pkgs of coffee)

great room for the money

The room was clean, staff friendly. We had traveled all night and could not check in until 1:00 pm. Check out time is 11:00 ... am and that isn't even 24 hours. I think this is wrong. I think that when you explain that you have traveled all night, special provisions should be made. We had to stay in the park and at the mall until check in time. Not enough towels in the room, also.

Hotel is walking distance from Graceland. Marlows restaraunt picked us up in a pink cadilac limo you have to try the ribs no ... matter the price they are worth it. Room was comfortable but I noticed when I dropped something on the floor in the bathroom it looked like no one had cleaned the toilet base for a while. There was old hair and urine around the base and it was not new. Other then that I can only tell myself the rest of the room was ok and I did not think about it. Breakfast was great staff was nice. I only got asked for money from one homeless guy not bad for downtown Memphis. Price and location you cannot beat and it is worth what you pay. I would recommend to friend without OCD. Elvis memorabilia was ok but not original just a bunch of pictures maybe printed off internet and framed on wall. I had a great time however I say stay here.

Hot-Hot-Hot with Elvis

Hotel was indeed in a great location within in walking distance of Elvis! Staff was friendly. Breakfast dining space was ... limited...Pool was dirty. We noticed pool was finally being vacuumed the last day of our stay. Unable to print out boarding pass for us at front desk. Most hotels we stayed at are able to accomodate this.

Great place to stay near Graceland

I selected the Days Inn at Graceland after reading reviews on Orbitz. I was looking for a clean, economical place to stay ... that was in walking distance of The King. The place was nice and the staff was so helpful that I definitely would come back and stay there again. The Days Inn staff went way beyond the call of duty for me. I arrived early in the a.m. and was able to store my luggage and computer laptop in a room within eyesight of the front desk while I visited Graceland most of the day. Having stayed at places with so-so air conditioning, I can't tell you what a relief it was that afternoon to walk into a very clean, cold room with microwave and refrigerator that was located next to the very cool guitar-shaped pool. This place is Elvis all the time, with a lobby filled with memorabilia, the Elvis radio station playing, and two channels of Elvis-related movies and film clips added to the TV line-up. I was worried that the Elvis songs may play late but they stop in the evening, so the place was quiet and relaxed that evening, which was a Saturday night. It seems family-oriented and even dog-friendly. When I arrived, one woman was posing with her dog, Elvis, in the lobby in front of an Elvis statue as the woman's daughter took a photo. The staff was fine with this. The breakfast included a fine array of the usual items (toast, juice, muffins, cereal, coffee) but making your own hot waffles using a waffle iron really adds a nice touch. I noticed the staff was especially attentive to making sure everything stayed clean and well-organized in the breakfast area. The staff recommended Marlowe's Restaurant for a nearby dinner, and called and arranged for me to be picked up in the restaurant's pink Cadillac. I really appreciated this recommendation since I was on my own and wasn't sure where to dine. I had spent two evenings on Beale Street (great time, but ribs ranged from good to fair) and just wanted a good meal, a cold beer, and dessert. Marlowe's had all of the above, with delicious ribs and fine service. It, too, has a fun Elvis theme and a small gift shop. The restaurant picks up diners from nearby hotels and returns them (it is free but tip the driver) in that hoot of a pink car. You just can't beat it. The Days Inn is right next door to a store called Memphis Outlet that features much of the same Elvis merchandise as Graceland (complete with the Graceland logo) at far cheaper prices. For example, Graceland sold one T-shirt for $19.99, but at the outlet it was on sale for $12. One final reason to stay there is the free shuttle service to the airport from the Days Inn. This helped me make my flight and saved me money on a cab as well.

it was good, not the best, but for the price it was great. the one thing that could have been better was if you could chose ... the ELVIS movies you wanted it watch, the one that was playing,"it happened at the world's fair" played all day and the disc was dirty and parts of the movie were skipped. also the tonic machines were out of order or not working right. but i would stay there again. also the add online said there was free shuttle to and from the hotel, when leaving on the 23rd. the front desk called and was told that the shuttle was not running. but for the most part it was across the street from GRACELAND which was the only reason I WAS THERE.
