Hotel Equities Holds Re-Opening of Courtyard by Marriott Memphis East, TN

Atlanta-based Hotel Equities (http://ift.tt/1bubGk7) recently held a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the grand re-opening of the fully renovated 96-room Courtyard by Marriott Memphis East in Memphis, Tennessee. The hotel recently completed a comprehensive renovation and a significant profit improvement plan that exceeded Marriott's expectations and has yielded an incredible increase in revenues and profitability almost immediately.

Located off I-240 and Bill Morris Parkway (I-385) and just minutes from Poplar Avenue in Germantown, the hotel appeals to both business and leisure travelers. It is convenient to the city's finest dining, tourist attractions, shopping and Class A office space for corporate travelers.

"Memphis is an exciting city for Hotel Equities' expansion and we have seen very strong increases across the board upon the completion of the renovation," said Joe Reardon, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development for HE. "We are excited to provide the owner with such great results and will continue to optimize opportunities and add value to this well-positioned, newly-renovated hotel. We are delighted to work with an owner who has such an entrepreneurial vision and commitment to a great hotel."

The hotel upgraded to Marriott's latest Courtyard Generation 4 room package that boasts 42 inch televisions, working desk units for the business traveler and the Bistro concept in the lobby. The pool area offers a socially-induced array of new amenities including a fire pit where guests can relax, unwind and order dinner and drinks.

The hotel features a choice of king and double rooms, suites and spa suites in a business-friendly corridor of Memphis near the Fed Ex Worldwide Headquarters. All guests enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi, a 24-hour business center and the outdoor pool, whirlpool and fitness room. The newly-renovated meeting space is perfect for reception-style gatherings as well as corporate meetings. The newly-appointed Bistro offers delicious dining options as well as beverages from Starbucks and a full bar.

"Hotel Equities has proven that they are the market leaders when it comes to third party hospitality management," said Jay Batra, owner of the Courtyard by Marriott Memphis East. "For me, it's a slam dunk partnership because I can see the effort and strategic planning from a team whose members are even more engaged and anxious than I am to make this project successful. Without a doubt, Hotel Equities will be my partner in my future ventures."

Congressman Cohen's claims of AFSCME endorsement questioned - WMC Action News 5

MEMPHIS, TN -

(WMC) - The gloves are off in Tennessee's Ninth Congressional District race. Tuesday morning, challenger Ricky Wilkins called incumbent Steve Cohen a "political bully."

Wilkins originally scheduled a news conference at the Memphis AFSCME union Tuesday to announce that Cohen's AFSCME endorsement claim was false.

When the media arrived, the subject of the news conference took a sharp turn. Wilkins told the media Cohen bullied the Memphis chapter from publicizing Wilkins' endorsement by pressuring the national AFSCME office in Washington, D.C.

"This man has no respect for them and goes around them and above their head," Wilkins said.

WMC Action News 5's Kontji Anthony spoke with Cohen by phone in D.C.

Cohen told her he has no idea what Wilkins is talking about. He says he has been working hard on legislation and touted his long history with AFSCME.

Cohen says AFSCME has endorsed him in almost every campaign. Earlier this month, the U.S. representative released a list of local leaders, organizations, and unions that he said endorsed his re-election.

Anthony called the Memphis AFSCME office, and their vice president said the local union has not endorsed anyone.

But the national office released a statement that said in part:

"The national union has supported Cohen in the past and will continue to support Congressman Cohen."

Cohen said AFSCME rates him 100 percent and points out the national Coalition of Black Unionists gave him their Lucy Award.

"He [Wilkins] hasn't come up with a single idea. His whole campaign is based on his background growing up poor, leaving Memphis, getting a law degree and working for a law firm," Cohen said.
