The Detroit Foundation Hotel is under fire after a nonprofit advocacy organization accused the hotel of discriminating against its members for being supporters of President Donald Trump.

Members of the Florida-based We Build the Wall organization said that the hotel offered a group discount for 23 rooms after it was announced that the organization was going to host a town hall in Detroit, communications director Jennifer Lawrence told the Free Press on Tuesday.

However, Lawrence said the organization received an email that the hotel could no longer honor the discount after the organization provided the hotel with names of members planning to stay there.

"They didn't want us there because we're Trump supporters and conservatives," Lawrence said.

The town hall's speakers include Steve Bannon, a former top advisor to Trump, and former Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke, a controversial conservative who spoke in support of Trump at the Republican National Convention in 2016.

The hotel acknowledged that the discount offer was rescinded but said the move was "unauthorized."

It issued the following statement: "The Foundation Hotel apologizes that a position that does not reflect our policy in any way was represented to a potential guest, and that an unauthorized decision to rescind a standing offer was made. We have taken the necessary steps to resolve the situation.

"The discount group offer for the party in question is extended. The Foundation Hotel does not discriminate against guests based on race, creed, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, political affiliation, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression, age, physical or mental ability, veteran status, and marital status, The hotel was built on the very premises of being inclusive and serving the community in all ways it can."

Lawrence said some of the rooms were for members who are also part of "Angel Families," individuals with family members who were killed by an illegal immigrant.

She said she doesn't recall the hotel re-issuing the offer, and regardless, members of the group were no longer interested in staying at the hotel. New reservations were made at a different location in Detroit.

"It's really sad to allow a political position," to affect treatment of guests, Lawrence said.

The organization will host a free town hall at 7 p.m. Thursday at Cobo Hall to discuss issues concerning the southern border with local news media, since Michigan borders Canada. Individuals must reserve a seat online.

The nonprofit group was established in December 2018 to "unite private citizens that share a common belief in providing national security to our southern border" according to its website.

The organization started after U.S. Air Force and Iraq War veteran Brian Kolfage launched a GoFundMe account to raise money to fund Trump's proposed border wall. The account raised more than $20 million as of Tuesday.

The hotel contacted the Free Press late Tuesday wanting to clarify that an attempt to reinstate the offer was made to Kolfage and that the hotel's team has not been in contact with Lawrence.

It is not the first time the hotel was accused of discrimination.

A federal lawsuit filed by a former hotel employee, Twana Simmons, accuses a high-level manager of making racially insensitive comments.

Simmons, who was hired in 2017, was fired in 2018.

According to the lawsuit, the manager rejected black employees for a director of lifestyles job, preferring a "white brunette."

Simmons claimed that the hotel ignored her complaints and tried to silence her.

Simmons' lawsuit names the hotel as a defendant, along with its general manager, Bob Lambert, who allegedly accused Simmons of “playing the race card” and defended the hotel’s decision to fire her to the staff.
