A California woman filed a $300,000 lawsuit against Marriott on Monday, claiming she was singled out because of her race when asked to sign a “no party policy” before checking into her Portland hotel room. The 51-year-old woman, Felicia Gonzales, who is black, said the front desk clerk at the Residence Inn by Marriott Portland Downtown/Convention Center told her that all guests had to sign the policy, The Oregonian reports. But Gonzales said she soon learned that wasn’t true as she claimed she witnessed white guests check-in after her who weren’t asked to sign the policy. The two-page no party policy says it was established to inform all guests of noise limits and “not to insinuate any distrust in the ‘average’ guest,” according to a copy provided by Gonzales’ attorneys.
