johnbowling Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 Hotwire. This win is the Holiday Inn, not the Holiday Inn Express. It is not on hotel List for Franklin-Cool Springs. Full amenities through Bidding Helper: Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Smoke Free, Free Internet, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Laundry, Golf, Free Parking $29.35 taxes and fees added to $107 = $136.35. Hampton Inn Franklin Cool Springs was sold out. Other Hamptons in the area thru the Hhonors web site were $239 at Franklin Berry Farms and $175 at Nashville/Brentwood I-65S. A regular Hotwire search page said it would be either the Aloft, Holiday Inn or two others I forget, but were nice. The bidding Helper page did not. I've been hosed with a bad hotel in Franklin before that was most definitely NOT three stars, so I was afraid to use the Bidding Helper page that did not limit it to the four nice hotels to book. Sorry if that cost you your referral fee, but I had no amenities that matched on the Hotel List and the claimed three star hotel they sold me bafk then was so bad I would not register,. They refused to give me my money back and I lost it. Do you know whether the same hotels are always offered on the Bidding Helper and regular Hotwire pages? Link to comment

johnbowling Posted May 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 I edited this post to add my question at the end and I think we crossed messages. Do you know the answer? Link to comment
AaronJB Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 The same hotels are showing on BiddingHelper.com, although price may vary slightly (the property above is currently $1 cheaper thru the BiddingHelper.com EASY VIEW tab where you can also use the 'WHAT HOTEL IS THIS?' button to see the guaranteed 1 of 4 hotels as well as our best guess). Of course you can also always post before booking and we would be happy to research listings and try to confirm/ID before purchase.

johnbowling Posted May 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 I stayed at the above Holiday Inn 5/23 and it was a good experience on all counts except finding it. Google maps stopped directing me, declaring I had arrived when I was in front of a bank in a heavily treed area. In fact, you must turn onto a side street and drive about 100 yards to get to the hotel which is behind and hidden by the bank. I wrote to Google maps to correct the navigation error. Until it is fixed, if northbound on Carothers, turn east, right, onto Isabella, the side street, at a Shell station and drive up the hill. Link to comment
