Anatole is my name and 2201 is a special number to me

@@Anatole2201 oh ok

The apple silicon computers all run video and photo editing software much better than anything else I’ve ever seen. Mine can smoothly run resolve and render video on the battery and it only drops maybe 4 percent at the maximum, and charging is also super fast so there’s not much downtime. I personally use Pixelmator pro for all my photo editing, it is a paid app but it’s a one time payment and it’s very capable.

The name is open! 🤷

Thanks!!

So far the finish has been holding up well and hasn’t gotten worn like the edges of my old space grey MacBook which eventually wore to the point where it was silver on every edge and the palm rests both were discolored in the center, I’ll keep you posted if that begins to occur on the new Mac. The finger print resistance is definitely better too, though it’s not immune and you will still need to clean it occasionally. Personally I love the new finish, I like how dramatically it changes depending on the light, and I it fits my taste and has that ”pro” feeling. If you’re after something that will hide fingerprints and won’t wear out too fast, silver is probably the way to go.

I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the video and I hope to get the others out soon! Your kind words are also appreciated and definitely true. I knew there was the risk of some people not being fully on board with these choices, but my hobbies and interests have changed a lot over these past few years and it was finally time to bring them to the channel, and overall I’m glad to see most people have had a positive response to it all. Your continued support is appreciated and thanks for watching! -A

Of course, glad you enjoyed! It was certainly a lot of fun, definitely worth the travel!

Personally I recommend the Jadewaters tower since it is newly renovated and overall nicer than the atrium side, but both rooms will still be nice and up to Hilton standards. Do note there is a bit of bias though since I do work for Hilton so take it as you will.

@@Anatole2201 As long as the elevators are not saucy (history of getting stuck) I will go with the taller tower.

With larger hotels generally they are planned out and built to accommodate a full house every night, meaning you get more elevators, front desk workstations, and bigger restaurants that are all overkill for what's needed. The Anatole is no exception, there's never a line for the elevators, and ever since their mod they've never been better.

Nice to see you too; I look forward to getting more videos out very soon! I look forward to what you have planned as well -Anatole

I'm glad to hear that you had a great stay and enjoyed the hotel. It is truly a beautiful property and certainly one of a kind. Glad to hear you enjoyed the video as well! -Anatole

The elevator situation in this hotel, as a whole, left a lot to be desired. Though generally, I expect this in lower-rise properties, the staff said these are about to be upgraded, so they'll get the work they've needed for a while.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they replaced those piles of shit within the next 10 years. They’re all pretty worn down and during my stay all of them seemed to be pretty worn out. The car only going to 5 was just going all the way up, violently stopping, then went back down to stop at a floor, and later was taken out of service. Of all the Omni hotels I’ve stayed in, this and the Shoreham are the ones with the worst elevator service

@@Anatole2201 I will take the stairs. I need to see how the new homeboys are working at the Palacio Del Rio at some point.

I hope to do more of these soon! I have got quite a few cool calculators that I think would be worth showing

Those videos were filmed in June 2022. As of December 2022 I no longer film elevators and they will never be posted in the World of 2201 again.

You're EnTeEx, why wouldn't you

Looking forward to your VLOGS

@@asphaltandtacosme too! Got some big plans for the future

This hotel was an interesting throwback, given so many Hampton properties have been given a full and complete renovation since opening. With many hotel rooms, I feel the older ones tend to have more personality over the newer ones. There are definitely designs out there that just look dated with no personality, but this is not one of them! It is always nice when the combustion of the hotel is not an amenity that you get to experience :)

@@Anatole2201 9 years later I'm still pissed. Not only were we not reimbursed for belongings, we weren't reimbursed for the room cost... because lightning isn't Hilton's fault... Ugh!

From my experience, Hilton has consistently offered competitively priced hotels with minimal cleanliness issues. This property was no exception! The rooms are a bit dated, but for the rate I paid, I couldn't be any happier with what I got. About that Hampton, though. If something like that happened, I would think they would at least find some way to give compensation, like a free night at another property. That's the stuff I was taught in week 1 in hotel school; if something goes wrong, you should do what you can to make it right for the guest so they continue to book your hotels, not consider booking the competitor's hotel.
