Hilton Garden Inn Memphis East Germantown, TN

After 15 hours of driving, we were confronted with an unfriendly desk attendant and a broken AC unit. We were holding our dinner, unable to eat, for 45 mins because the desk agent “had customers.” I have yet to understand what we were. A kind word, apology, or simply listening would have gone a long way. Imagine this: You have two starving kids; it’s 9 pm; youve just finished 15 hours on the road. You walk into your room and it’s 80 degrees. You call the front desk. The front desk says to wait. You sit patiently, watching your food get cold while you sweat. After 10 mins you call back. The sour-faced woman from your check in says, “I have customers; I can’t do that now.” You wait another 10 mins, then head down 3 floors to speak directly with grim-faced attendant. She then explains again that she had customers. I tried my best to kindly explain the issue. It has now been 30 mins. The irritated attendant decides to give us a new room with a working AC. All said and done, we entered our room (1 room to the right) 45 minutes later. We received no money back, no upgrades, and no apologies for the inconvenience of a broken AC. We celebrated with cold dinner and a bitter taste in our mouths.
