Bass Pro hotel memphis - whats with the rates?

---

Whatever Google says it is.

I stayed there once for the experience. My daughter and I were passing through and I knew she would love staying there because it was different.

Rooms are really nice. I think I paid around $300 for a weeknight. I picked the weeknight on purpose because it was cheaper than the weekend. It was a fun place to stay for a night, but there's absolutely no other reason to stay there besides it being a cool place.

It reminds me of a Disney hotel room. It's a themed room and you feel like you're in the "outdoors world".

Probably a conference taking place

Looks like rates are just $180 next week.

Must be a timing issue.

what is the date? Is it around Mempho fest?

Probably the FedEx St Jude Classic is what is driving the rates up.

I have stayed here 20+ times.

Yep me too. Nice new property. Cool building. Decent bar although kind of quiet that far south from downtown. Really good restaurant.

We have been to memphis often. Is south of downtown area safe during day and night?

It's a newer "arts" district and there is frequent patrols. I've never felt unsafe, but I'm also not out wandering around after 10pm. If I have a late dinner or social event, I drive my rental car or ride an uber right up onto the property, there always seems to be parking available on site.

And with regard to that specific hotel, there is a large raised parking lot that doubles as the train station parking lot. There is always a fair amount of train passengers and railroad employees around. Couple that with the raised parking lot with one way in-out and it creates kind of an island around the property.
