Memphis Marriott Downtown rebranded as a Sheraton

Just received this email. What truly sucks is that i booked this upcoming ressie months ago, got a great rate, was planning on this being my final stay for the current MegaBonus & am not able to start looking for another Marriott stay

This is a nice hotel, but there are Marriott branded Hotels closer to downtown, albeit not FS Hotels. I have stayed here many times. You essentially have to take the trolly to get to the good parts of downtown, unless you don't mind the long walks. Also, this is where all of the cruise ship people stay, so it can be packed with them, especially on weekends. I think even if you spend a little more for the Marriott's closer to downtown, you will have a funner time. The police block off some of these streets at night (You have to go through a gated setup), so it truly is a walkable downtown.

It was reported in a dif thread a few weeks ago that it was leaving/rebranding, but of course you booked months ago. My guess is you got a LNF rate & aren't able to duplicate it. Since the stay is Aug 12th, can you search for any of the other Marriott props on LNF and/or publicly available codes?

Cheers.

Apologies for the duplicate post. Before posting, I did a quick search on Memphis & didn't pull up that thread.

LNF you say.... I think that rings a bell . I hope to get a chance to look anew but time is short.

Appreciate the earlier heads up on the other downtown properties & will give those another look.
