Pay the extra money
Visiting for the first time ,my cousin and I came just to visit Graceland and when picking this motel the pictures ,and information didn't seem so bad,but when we checked in we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into ,the place was horrible I would never ever recommend this place ,it's in the seediest part of east Memphis ,next to a run down boarded up strip joint ,walls in bathroom were disgusting,blood stained sheets ,didn't really sleep under sheets ,and the people coming in and out of there I really unsafe but we went out and came back and just stayed inside after 6pm way before dark cause we wouldn't want to try to venture out in that neighborhood, I've stayed at plenty of motels and this was absolutely the worst in my life ,we had called for a cab and we waited along time I guess they saw where the pick up was and didn't want to go out there because of the area,but we did get a guy who was just so helpful we called him to take us to Graceland and back and he was so great to us.
