Major hotel chains headquartered in the Washington, D.C., area pledged not to allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to use its hotel rooms as backup detention centers for immigrants targeted in this weekend’s raids.
“Our hotels are not configured to be detention facilities, but to be open to guests and community members as well,” Marriott International wrote in a statement dated Thursday. “While we have no particular insights into whether the U.S. government is considering the use of hotels to aid in the situation at the border, Marriott has made the decision to decline any requests to use our hotels as detention facilities.”
Choice Hotels, a D.C.-area company that owns 11 hotel chain brands including Quality Inn, echoed Marriott’s statement, saying Thursday that it’s asked its franchised hotels to “only be used for their intended purpose.”
“We are not aware that any of our franchised hotels, all of which are independently owned and operated, are being asked to serve as detention facilities,” the company’s statement reads. “We do not believe hotels should be used in this way and will decline any requests to do so.”

Milt Romney is tied to Marriott Hotels through family and religion.
I wouldn’t want bed bugs either.
No government agency would use hotels to “detain” potential criminals.
But the hotels might change their mind and open their rooms to the poor unfortunate children being held in concentration camps?
Naaah - that’s require actual sacrifice.
Sure, some big burly man is in a room with a 12 year old girl and the cops can’t arrest him! Of course...
SICK WORLD, USA My daughter is a beautiful blonde with two beautiful blonde daughters, she doesn’t even do Facebook, because she fears big burly guys kidnapping her and the girls and raping them, and putting them into sex trafficking...

A bunch of po’d aliens could do a lot of damage. Don’t blame them on that point.
I don’t blame them.
Right call - criminals should not get to stay in hotels at taxpayer expense.
Hotels are not designed to be detention facilities, and I whole-heartedly agree they should be used as such.
They would trash the rooms?......................
Our country is SLOUCHING TOWARD GOMORRAH!
Nope, sprinting toward, not slouching by any stretch of the imagination.
Great news!
Marriot big names can take a hike socializing their own costs.
Plenty of mom & pop motels would love the business of fully filled rooms.
Big Business are such losers and think the people do not see it.
Where do ICE and government employees stay when they are in town conducting their job duties?
Obviously, not at Marriott.
Sorry. It's bad enough that they let dogs stay there. I'm not interested in staying with folks who can be expected to trash the place.

“Right call... wrong reasons.”
Total agreement here.
Id rather have dogs stay any day than your unruly, loud, screaming children that you can’t control!!!! And have to see them at Kids Eat Free in the dining room.
Id take dogs any day over your children!
TRUMP TOWER IS AVAILABLE!!!
HA!
I understand not wanting their rooms to be used for detention centers
Why should we taxpayers spend money on hotel rooms for them? Better that ICE have fleets of buses and load the detainees on them and head straight to the nearest southern border crossing, dump them, and return for the next loads.
My boycott list grows daily.
