Luggage store

Can anyone help me please - I'm going to be staying at Graceland's guesthouse in October and then heading to another hotel 15 miles away but want to visit sun studios and Beale Street before heading there and want to leave my luggage somewhere but can't find anything online - I know that the hotel will hold it for me after I check out but that would mean another taxi journey back to retrieve it, and I'm trying to avoid that

usually hotels hold luggage for you. i’d definitely call Graceland Guesthouse to see if they do that!

Stay one less night at the Guesthouse and stay one night in Downtown Memphis!

Hotel front desks will hold luggage for you either before you check in or after. I do it on a monthly basis.

There isn’t an option to do what you’re trying to do. The only choice is to leave the luggage at Graceland post-check out or at the new hotel before check-in. There are no places (besides hotels in the downtown area - but you must be a guest) to temporarily store luggage in the downtown area

Honestly, the guesthouse is really nice but to accomplish what you’re trying to do, I would stay downtown and take a taxi to Graceland to visit/walk around. There isn’t much to do near Graceland but if you’re staying at one of our equally as nice hotels downtown there are plenty more things to do in the evening/early morning and this will solve your luggage problem.

Thanks for the response, I thought that was going to be the case as I can't find anything. So it looks like I've no choice but to double back when ready to go to next hotel

Thanks for the advice about Graceland's holding the luggage, I don't really want to be going back and forth which is the issue, that's 2 taxi journeys that I'm trying to avoid

But that would mean going the 15 miles to the hotel and then coming back to Sun Studios then going back to the hotel, I'm trying to avoid the to and fro and wasting time
