Default MEM crew hotel

I need a hotel for a night in MEM.

Any suggestions/rates? I prefer a hotel not in a free fire zone a.k.a. The Hollow Point Inn.

Thanks.

What I've been doing lately, if I know for sure I'm going to be there, is book a hotel in East Memphis on Hotwire. Non refundable, but a better deal than anything here. I got what is supposed to be a pretty nice hotel (Hotel Memphis) for $53. 3 1/2 star hotel, they claim.

Hate to say it magicrat, but I think all the prices have gone up on your hotels. In particular the Holiday Inn Express and Four Points, they change their crew rate based upon whether they decide they want us there or not. I think the last time I called the Holiday Inn, the rate was way higher.

I just confirmed another pilot's suggestion about the La Quinta on Millbranch for $50/night. Havent stayed there yet but it looks good from the pictures and the pilot who recommended it said shuttle will take you to training, airport and HUB if you have no car available. Breakfast included.

I usually stay at either the Horseshoe or The Gold Strike casino. Go to their web pages to get the rate. Sunday through Wednesday's the rooms are usually less than 65 bucks a night.

Magicrat,

Thanks for spending the time to accumulate and post all that timely and useful information. I'm sure guys here will appreciate it, even if no one bothers to say "Thanks."

A couple of changes:

The Residence Inn Memphis East rate is $109, not $69. The front desk didn't know anything about a FedEx Pilot rate but they did have a FedEx corporate rate, which is $109.

The Courtyard Memphis East/Park Ave is $89, not $65. And they may or may not give you that rate depending on their occupancy.
