Stayed at this location for two nights last week, me and two friends with adjoining rooms. Clean room and bathroom, beds were comfortable for sleeping but glad I brought my own pillow. Quiet both day and night. Gated parking area - very welcome to me, as I drive a luxury car and the area around the motel is a bit sketchy. Check-in was easy, and the girl at the desk was efficient if not overly happy to see us. Wi-fi only available in the lobby, not in the guest rooms. There is also a desktop computer for guest use in the lobby. Continental breakfast was toast, sweet rolls, two cold cereal choices. The bowl of fruit was past its' prime. The owner told me she had just hard-boiled the eggs that morning. Very strict about not taking food away from the dining area, although not a problem taking my coffee with me (which was surprisingly good, by the way).
No joke, less than 10 minutes' walk to Graceland, saving $10. to park. For other sightseeing, we were within 15 - 20 minutes drive of Sun Studios, Stax and Beale Street. My friend took a taxi back from Beale one night and it was just $8.00.
If you like to have water, drinks or snacks in your room - get them during the daytime. We stopped at the gas station on the corner one night at 11pm, and the place was on lockdown. You could walk to a window and shout at the clerk through the safety glass, requesting whatever you like- they retrieved it (and were very nice about it, too), and put it in a drawer to be shoved through the wall for you to take. I guess one too many robberies?
As you probably read in other reviews, there are very little dining options around the motel. We did get some fries at Checkers across the street - delish!
Go downtown to Rendezvous for the best barbeque - and Marlowe's was good too (although we skipped the pink limo service).
The Kettle on Brooks Road - Authentic, low-frills, excellent service and wonderful country breakfast buffet at a local restaurant less than a mile away (the hotel office recommended I Hop when we asked for a good breakfast recommendation - are you serious??).
All in all, Scottish Inn and Suites was just fine and I'm glad I ignored prior negative comments. I would stay there again.
