A black man who says he was kicked out of a Portland DoubleTree for taking a phone call in the lobby, despite being a guest of the hotel, filed a lawsuit against the hotel this week alleging false arrest and racial discrimination.
Massey, a resident of Washington state, said he was speaking in a quiet corner of the hotel's lobby on Dec. 22, 2018, when a security guard asked him if he was a guest, according to the lawsuit. The guard then contacted the manager on duty and notified police, who ordered Massey to gather his belongings and escorted him out in full view of other guests, according to the lawsuit, which names Hilton Domestic Operating Company, DoubleTree by Hilton Portland and two former employees among the defendants.
"Mr. Massey suffered, continues to suffer, and will in the future suffer from embarrassment, frustration, anger, humiliation, a sense of increased vulnerability, and feelings of racial stigmatization," the suit said.
