Will NOT stay again
One star is being generous.
St. Louis is my husband and my "get-a-way" city. We are Hilton Honors members, but have been trying out the different hotels downtown to choose our favorite. Well, this hotel is NOT it!
It started as soon as we pulled into the drive. My husband went straight in to use the restroom, and the bell men screamed at him, and one even asked someone to call the police. That tune changed when I told him we were checking in, and demanded we move our car. VERY rudely, mind you.
Then the check in experience was horrific. So rude. Plus, we had reserved a high rise hotel. Our original room was on the 8th floor and looked into the parking garage. When we called to ask why we were told to deal with it because the hotel was fully booked. When we asked what they were going to do about it, comped breakfast or parking, they FINALLY said we could change rooms.
The rooms are small, and have NOTHING special to them. Got to love the liter bottle of Aquafina they offer for you for a small $5 fee added to the room. Please.
The next day we left for breakfast ad then went to a Cards day game. Came back at around 4:15pm. The room hadn't been touched by housekeeping. At 4:30 houskeeping came around and asked if we would need services. When I explained we'd been gone all day, and were relaxing before dinner they just said, "Ok."
When I called down to the front desk, I was put on hold for almost 5 minutes. At this point, I went and talked to the manager who made excuses and kept cutting me off while I spoke. While he did discount our room, which isn't what I was asking for, it just left a bad taste in my mouth.
Sonny, the bell man who took our bags to our rooms, was AMAZING. So polite, and friendly. My husband tried to tip him even though he knew I'd already tipped him as well. He wouldn't take the $$. Said it wasn't right...I'd given him more than enough.
That is the only nice thing I have to say about this hotel. My favorite hotel in Memphis is the Econolodge downtown. While, there's nothing extravagant about it, the staff is what makes it. SO helpful, and friendly.
The Millennium hotel has nothing but snotty staff, bad manners, and a lack of customer service.
We will NEVER stay here again. Will stay either at the Hilton, Hampton, or Hyatt like we have loved in the past.
