spericson77 Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 I'm going to meet my girlfriend in Memphis for a weekend, and am trying to find something reasonably priced. I know doing that over Memorial Day weekend is tough, but I found an east Memphis hotel that seems to fit the bill. However, I'd like a bit of help identifying it before booking. I started (as I always do), but searching from the Bidding.Helper and found this: 3-star, $102 per night 95% recommended by Hotwire customers; 4.0/5.0 rating from TripAdvisor Complimentary: Free parking, Free Internet. Amenities: Airport shuttle, Fitness center, Pool(s), Business center, Self-service laundry. Thanks in advance for the help! Link to comment
AaronJB Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Are you searching for more than 2 adults? I'm not seeing this listing when searching for 2a for 5/22-25. I do see a 3.5* for $107 (you may see a slightly different price) w/Shuttle, Restaurant, Pool, Indoor Pool, Fitness, Smoke Free, Free Internet, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Golf, Free Parking. This would be a possible match for the Crowne Plaza Memphis East. THAT SAID: The Germantown area is not far and I'm seeing a 3.5* in that zone w/Pool, Fitness, Complimentary Breakfast, Free Internet, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Free Parking, Pet Friendly for $94. This listing has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board, but a guess would be that the Hyatt Place Germantown has been upgraded to 3.5* and is showing with a slightly different amenity set. In any case, if you click on the listing then scroll down, there is a 4.5/5 tripadvisor rating showing (tripadvisor logo w/4.5/5 circles shaded.) So, for around $10 less, slightly different area, but cheaper, better reviewed and free breakfast. Let us know your thoughts, as well as if you're seeing the original 3* still.

spericson77 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I'm searching for just 2 adults. I used the link to Hotwire you posted, and found the following. 3.5* in Germantown for $123 with Free Parking, Free Breakfast, Free Internet, Pet Friendly, Fitness Center, Pool(s), and Business Center. It has 95% recommendation rate from Hotwire users and 4.5/5.0 on TripAdvisor. 3* in East Memphis for $97 with Free Parking, Free Internet, Airport Shuttle, Smoke-free Rooms, Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business Center, and Self-service Laundry. It has 95% recommendation rate from Hotwire users and 4.0/5.0 on TripAdvisor. 3.5* in East Memphis for $105 with Free Parking, Free Internet, Indoor pool(s), Airport shuttle, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), and Business Center. It has 75% recommendation rate from Hotwire users and 3.5/5.0 on TripAdvisor. On unrelated note, AaronJB, I hope you see the compliment I passed along following my stay in Chicago that you helped with and your dining recommendations. You were a great help, and I really appreciate all the info you gave me about Chicago. Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I believe there are more amenities then what you have posted above as HOTWIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you click thru a few extra links. If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper.com tool... use the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab and then click the GREEN BUTTON next to each of these listings (although i'm not currently seeing the Germantown offer), do you see more amenities then what you have listed above?
