^Ridiculous assertion.

all of this could have been avoided if the guest simply had said -- hold on to his caller, and simply told the hotel personnel his name and room number. What a jerk.

This.
I'd guess the two people fired who were working nights were probably putting in long,unsocial hours to support their families.
And then this cretin gets them fired.
Hopefully he'll find his comeuppance later in life when a prospective employer looks into his social media background and sees what an a-hole he is.

If Earl and the manager weren't racist before they probably are now.

Security in hotels generally watches corridors on CCTV and they usually don't stop anyone unless they have reasonable grounds, and this is especially the case in relation to big chains such as Hilton.

Sitting in an area and making a phone call is not grounds for demanding someones room number and other details.

Apparently he couldn't remember his room number.

They should have just gone back to their CCTV Control room and monitored his activities if they were suspicious rather than become confrontational for no reason at all.

No he was not sitting there with his room key in his hand. He didn't show his room key to anyone till the manager showed up. He said he was a guest but he didn't know what room he was staying in, and he became annoyed and told the security guard to leave him alone because he was on the phone. That being said, he DID have his room key, with the room number on the packet, in his pocket, which he COULD have pulled out at any time to show he was a guest, but he didn't do that till the situation had escalated.

I hope he's happy.
I wonder if he'll ever learn any manners or just high-five the bros for making two hard-working people unemployed.
If I saw him with his feet up on my furniture I'd kick his ass out of the door.
Wearing a dinner jacket does not mean you can polish a turd.

They got themselves fired for being idiots. You don't kick out guest staying at your hotel.

I always assumed that hotel lobbies were open to hotel guests and non-guests alike. People are coming in and going out of hotels all the time.

It does seem strange for hotel security to ask for a person’s room number unless they had a reasonable suspicion he was up to no good.

Pretty sure millions of black men sit in hotel lobbies across this country of 330 million people every day without incident.

It's 2019. Enough with your garbage logic.

Yeah...most whites were enslaved in America in the early 1800’s too, but there was a liberal conspiracy to only record the history of black enslavement in the US. Facts. Look it up on “ what really happened.com”.
