The formerly Hilton-branded hotel was stripped of its Hilton label by the hotel chain Tuesday morning after a video surfaced appearing to show that the location continued to deny immigration officers despite Hilton Hotels saying that the venue had apologized and that "properties are open to everyone and we do not tolerate any form of discrimination."
The hotel participated in a government lodging program partnership, known as GSA FedRooms, between federal employees and the location. Following the Hampton Inn Lakeville denying federal agents rooms, GSA has since removed the property from all lodging programs and travel systems.

FedRooms is a GSA-managed transient lodging program providing Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) compliant hotel accommodations to U.S. government and military travelers, at or below federal per diem rates.
GSA also terminated emergency lodging services and long-term lodging at the property.
Fox News Digital learned through sources that the hotel accommodated federal agents for roughly 130 total nights last year.

Hilton Hotels took action shortly after, separating the individual hotel from their network.

"A recent video clearly raises concerns that they are not meeting our standards and values," Hilton Hotels said in a statement. "As such, we are taking immediate action to remove this hotel from our systems. Hilton is — and has always been — a welcoming place for all."
Hampton Inn Lakeville appears to have been removed from Hilton's website.
