DAYS INN BY WYNDHAM MEMPHIS AT GRACELAND, Memphis

The hotel is directly opposite Graceland Mansion, making the main attraction a one-block walk - no transportation needed for Elvis fans. Memphis International Airport (MEM) is a short drive away, with taxis charging a flat rate around $15. A bus stop right outside connects to downtown Memphis. For car-free travellers, ride-shares are the main option for Beale Street and other city sights. The immediate area is best navigated by car or ride-share, especially at night. Free on-site parking makes car access straightforward.

Rooms include a microwave, mini-refrigerator, coffee maker, and flat-screen HDTV. The beds are firm, which some find too hard, and the air conditioning units can be noisy - light sleepers should consider earplugs. Road-facing rooms may pick up noise from traffic. The bathroom has a private shower/tub combination (no roll-in shower options despite accessibility advertising), and toilet height is low. Some rooms have a musty or damp smell, and gaps under the door can let in light and noise. Renovated rooms are clean and bright; others show signs of wear and dated fittings. No rooms have balconies. Daily housekeeping is not guaranteed - request towels and supplies at the front desk if needed. The property has no elevator, so guests with limited mobility should request a ground floor room.

The breakfast offering typically includes toast, honey buns, cereal, yoghurt, a waffle maker (with a fun guitar-shaped waffle iron), and coffee or tea. The selection is light and primarily carb-based - no fresh fruit. On-site kitchen and dining room have undergone renovation, which can disrupt breakfast service; at times the offering is reduced to packaged items or unavailable. Hot drinks are available at reception, but there is no in-room coffee/tea facilities. There is no on-site restaurant or bar. Several dining options - including Gladys' Diner, Rock N Roll Cafe, and EP's Bar and Grill - are within a 5-minute walk from the hotel for guests wanting a fuller meal.

The property features a guitar-shaped outdoor pool that is a visual highlight, but it is not heated and its opening depends on the season and ongoing maintenance. The pool has been closed for extended periods due to renovations, cleanliness issues, or cold weather. When open, the water may be cold and the area may lack furniture. There is no spa, gym, sauna, or other wellness facility on site. Guests planning to rely on the pool should verify its status before booking.

Free public parking is available on-site with no reservation needed, including RV parking. Accessible parking spaces are very limited and may be occupied by non-handicapped staff. The hotel has a 24-hour front desk, but no elevator. Wi-Fi is free throughout but speeds can be poor, often only suitable for emails - using a personal hotspot may be necessary for heavy use. Daily housekeeping is not consistently provided; guests may need to request fresh towels, toilet paper, and cleaning at reception. Luggage storage may be possible by arrangement. There is no on-site restaurant, bar, or shuttle service. The property is pet-friendly with applicable charges. A safety deposit box is available for an additional charge.
