44 Years At The Pink Palace

I so enjoyed reading about all the encounters Emilio had with so many different kinds of people and how he dealt with all the different and often difficult personalities, but moreso than that, how he came to this country alone, not speaking English, was homeless for a while, and yet persevered through all the barriers, learned the language, became a US citizen, worked hard, and moved up the ladder at his job.

I loved this book, cover to cover! Great behind the scenes stories and loved his immigrant story as well!

Emilio Trejo’s tales are a joy to read. I found myself rooting for him as a young immigrant to America, happy for him as he advanced in his career, and angry for him at the rude treatment he endured. His book is both an inside look at a famous hotel’s famous guests and a testament to the American Dream. I read it in a day because I couldn’t put it down.

I Loved reading this Book! I couldn't put it down. All of us have a curiosity about the Rich and Famous, and Emilio let us have a peek into their lives, all the while he was learning and living in a new world, that wasn't always kind to him, and yet he thrived in it. It's often said that what we look for the most while working is the "end" of our working days and not the "Journey". Emilio's Journey is why books are written. Muchos Gracias!

I bought this book (2 copies) recently and I've only read 20 pages so far. Love this book so far! It's fascinating to know where Emilio comes from and things he's seen working at Beverly Hilton for so many years. I highly recommend this book

Book is engaging. I could hardly put it down.

From sleeping on benches at Will Rogers park, and starting as a dishwasher then moving to upper management working non stop to achieve the American dream . All the while never complained about life this book is his journey! 44 years at the Pink Palaces is short and powerful like a shot of tequila..Cheers Emilio🥂

A book for anyone who needs a reminder that if you work hard and dream big anything is possible.
