Hilton Hotels has issued a statement after a Homewood Suites location in Washington D.C. made headlines for attempting to take advantage of a Florida 5th Grade class.

In a statement, on behalf of Homewood Suites by Hilton Washington DC Downtown, the owner revealed that the location under fire is independently owned and was unaware of the ongoing issue before noting that a full refund had been issued to the school for the canceled trip.

As previously reported, Kodak Black and his attorney Bradford Cohen stepped in to help 5th-grade students from Pinewood Elementary School after the group was reportedly denied their refund for a week-long class trip to the nation’s capital that was prescheduled for Mid-March but was thwarted due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

The school canceled the trip and tried to get a refund for about a month, from Homewood Suites by Hilton for their 30 rooms, but instead received a partial refund of $7,000 and noting that a portion of the remaining $10,000 difference could be credited to the class IF it comes to D.C. later this year, which is highly unlikely due to the ongoing fight against the spread of COVID-19.
