Title: Hotel Bell Cap Talks About Axl in His Heyday Post by: Tommie on March 21, 2007, 09:46:24 PM http://gnrdaily.com/news_detail.asp?id=632
Wednesday ? March 21, 2007 10:59:39 PM Alex Pickett of Tampa Creative Loafing weekly newspaper recently interviewed Eddie Holt, a bell cap at the Westin Harbour Island Hotel, who shared some stories about celebrities he greeted and took care of during their stay. Eddie Holt, a bell cap at the Westin Harbour Island Hotel, is often one of the first people to spot incoming celebrities. For the last 22 years, this high-class hotel -- adjacent to the Tampa Convention Center and blocks from the St. Pete Times Forum -- has attracted all sorts of singers, politicians and movie stars. And Holt has been right there to greet them, take their luggage and bring whatever else they need to their room. ... Although Holt says he hasn't been starstruck in years, he has enjoyed some of the more colorful experiences through the years. Like the time Faye Dunaway stayed at the hotel ("she's pretty notorious -- she pretty much curses like a sailor") or when Bob Hope came to the employee Christmas party and performed a 20-minute standup comedy routine. And he'll never forget Axl Rose. "The only person I think really damaged a room was Axl Rose in his heyday," Holt says, describing the time the Guns N' Roses frontman threw a television set through a wall and smeared spaghetti all over his room. Eventually, security had to be called, Holt says, and the rambunctious rock star was two hours late to his show. On the other hand, Kiss or ZZ Top were basically model citizens, he says.
