Immigration agents attempting to book rooms at the Hampton Inn Lakeville had reservations canceled after using official government emails and rates. The Department of Homeland Security posted screenshots of a Hilton email canceling the reservations and accused Hilton of a "coordinated" effort to refuse service to its employees. Hilton and the local property operators apologized and said the messages did not reflect their policies. A Hilton representative noted the property is independently operated and that most Hampton Inns are franchisees. Everpeak Hospitality said the cancellation was inconsistent with policy, moved to accommodate affected guests, and apologized.
