The in-Oxford options we felt, based on other travelers advice and what I saw of the interiors, were more expensive and offered less bang for the buck than the Holiday Inn. The Downtown Inn, I have to stand by my original comment. Not in the greatest shape for the cost charged. Haven't been on the Ole Miss Motel property, only relying on others' advice there, so I'll have to take a look at that. :) Regarding Elvis' house you're correct, two rooms. Our guide did not allow photos inside and can't claim to remember more than the front room. Glad you enjoyed the article, I will have to try the Main Squeeze next time we are in town.

Shame on you: that is incorrect. There is nothing run down about the Downtown Inn or any of the bread-and-breakfast businesses in town. Some snooty people snark their noses at the Ole Miss Motel on University Avenue and these are generally people who have never been on the property. I know many people who travel to Oxford regularly and love the Ole Miss Motel. It is run by a local family who are good people and do not deserve your accusation. It is by far the most inexpensive lodging in town and very close if not the closest to the Oxford square. You missed a fabulous art installation just this past Saturday night at the Ole Miss Motel, which is just across the street from a vegetarian place I think you would have loved: Main Squeeze. http://mainsqueezeoxford.com/ You got it right about Two Stick, if not the name. The Elvis Presley Birthplace in Tupelo is two rooms, not one. “…the in-town hotels which are run down at best.”
