This
property
is
exceptionally
sub-standard
for
Hilton
properties.
The
photos
of
the
property
on
the
web
site
are
spectacular,
and
clearly
very
old,
as
this
property
is
beat
up
and
run
down
(and
mechanically
unsound,
as
you
will
read
below).
When
we
checked
in
we
were
not
recognized
as
Hilton
Diamond
Members
nor
thanked
for
our
loyalty.
We
were
not
provided
with
our
welcome
water
bottles,
nor
were
we
offered
our
complimentary
room
upgrade
that
goes
with
our
status
(upon
availability)
or
given
an
explanation
as
to
why
an
upgrade
was
unavailable.
Upon
check
in,
one
elevator
was
out
of
order
in
addition
to
the
service
elevator,
as
the
housekeeping
staff
was
routinely
seen
waiting
for
the
guest
elevators
with
their
carts
on
multiple
floors.
By
Sunday
morning,
three
of
the
four
guest
elevators
were
out
of
service.
In
addition
to
the
50
room
block
that
we
were
part
of,
there
was
also
a
room
block
for
a
soccer
tournament.
Beginning
by
8
am,
we
were
waiting
for
over
30
minutes
for
the
one
elevator
that
was
working,
as
the
entire
soccer
group
was
trying
to
get
out
for
games,
and
those
in
our
room
block
were
checking
out
and
heading
to
the
airport.
My
wife
and
I
were
on
the
24th
floor
(Room
2405).
After
waiting
the
first
15
minutes
for
an
elevator,
one
finally
stopped
on
our
floor,
but
was
full,
so
we
were
unable
to
get
on.
After
waiting
another
15
minutes
the
elevator
passed
our
floor
without
stopping.
At
that
point,
we
took
to
the
staircase
with
two
pieces
of
luggage
each
(we
had
no
choice,
as
we
had
to
get
out
of
this
disaster
and
to
the
airport
for
our
flight).
Yes,
we
had
to
descend
24
flights
of
stairs
dragging
our
luggage.
No
one
from
the
hotel
took
command
of
the
situation
or
advised
the
guests
of
the
situation.
There
were
no
recorded
messages
by
phone
to
the
guest
rooms,
no
signs
posted
at
the
elevators,
no
emails
or
texts
to
the
guests.
There
was
no
control
of
the
one
working
elevator
by
the
staff,
no
attempt
to
shuttle
luggage
by
elevator
for
the
guests
and
directing
them
to
the
stairs.
The
complete
lack
of
concern
by
the
entire
staff
was
evident.
When
asking
a
housekeeping
staff
what
time
check
out
was,
their
response
was,
"I
don't
know,"
and
they
just
walked
away.
When
addressing
the
front
desk
staff
about
the
situation,
no
matter
what
was
asked
or
requested
of
them
they
could
only
say,
and
continued
to
repeat,
"we
are
working
on
it."
I
can't
even
imagine
what
check-in
would
look
like
that
afternoon,
as
they
couldn't
move
their
housekeeping
personnel
from
floor
to
floor
the
change
over
the
vast
majority
of
their
rooms
with
guests
checking
out.
By
11:00
am,
they
were
already
telling
new
guests
that
they
had
no
idea
when
their
rooms
would
be
ready
and
were
storing
bags.
The
lack
of
management
and
leadership
was
frightening.
We
are
not
in
Memphis
often,
and
would
not
stay
at
this
property
again.
I
do,
however,
believe
the
offer
of
a
refund
for
the
two
night
stay,
or
the
offer
of
100,000
points
(the
value
if
we
had
stayed
on
points)
would
be
a
most
appropriate
resolution
for
the
absolute
disaster
of
an
experience
this
property
and
their
leadership
put
me
through.
