I think that this is an excellent move. As I have posted here several times, this is one of the worst Hiltons in the system, and is a complete dump. The hotel is in dire need of a renovation, it's old and ratty...just a reaally bad property that should be avoided at all costs. The bad thing is that almsot all of the HH properties in ELP are bad....the ES is to be avoided at all costs! The HI is okay, but I think I'm going to have to get one more stay at the Hilton ELP when I return to my former place of residence in a couple of weeks.

According to the diamond desk, the HGI ELP will open on 12/6, but for whatever reason, one cannot make any reservations there until opening day.
