rooted in racism
A university graduate was refused a room at a hotel because staff suspected she might be a Romanian prostitute.
Alecsandra Puflea tried to check into a room at the Holiday Inn Express in Hull with her boyfriend on July 6, but says she was turned away after the receptionist found out she was from Romania.
The 22-year-old criminology and forensic science graduate from Hull University had booked the room online. When Miss Puflea arrived she claims the receptionist said: "I'm sorry, but we don't accept Romanians."
The hotel introduced a policy of screening guests they believed could be engaging in illegal activity after other Romanian women were found to be using the rooms for prostitution.
Humberside Police, who investigated a complaint from Miss Puflea, said the hotel has now apologised to her and is reviewing its policy.
