Two weeks later, questions remain surrounding the Hilton Garden Inn blaze that took place in Killeen on Feb. 19.
One hotel guest, Debbie Hargreaves, of Killeen, said fire alarms in the four-story hotel never sounded on the night of the massive blaze. She also said the owners of the building have yet to contact guests following the fire.
The Herald reached out to Hilton spokeswoman Lisa Cole about the alleged lack of communication Tuesday.
âHilton Garden Inn Killeen is an independently owned and operated property,â Cole said. âAs such, I am unable to speak on their behalf.â
The property is owned by Le Family LLC, according to the most recent record from the Bell County Appraisal District.
