Hotwire Hotel: 4.5* Memphis (Downtown) Madison Hotel

[auntmatilda]

I wanted a room in downtown Memphis.

They had a room listed as $249 for $139. The Madison was the only hotel in downtown with $249 rooms.

Then they said "hurry! The last person got the Madison!" I thought they were trying to trick folks. I went for it anyway and sure enough I got the Madison.

Was this just coincidence or do they at times basically tell you the hotel? I'm looking to book another room in downtown Memphis and they are doing the same thing with the Peabody. The reviews about the hotel even mention the Peabody.

Thanks in advance.
