*Comedian Mark Curry claims he was racially profiled while staying at a hotel in Colorado.

Curry was at The Mining Exchange hotel in downtown Colorado when the incident occurred, TMZ reports. He posted a video on his Instagram in which Curry is seen sitting in the lobby and enjoying a cup of coffee. Two employees, a Black male and a white dude not wearing a visible ID badge, seem to be questioning whether Curry is a guest. 

“Black man and a Hotel Lobby it’s impossible that he has a room here. No, I have a suite! He walks up to me with no badge on,” Curry wrote on Instagram. “I don’t know who this man is. And asked to see my hotel key Wyndham racism.719-323-2000 call them please Jhon Crab head of security and head of maintenance at the same time.”

We deeply regret this incident and have reached out to Mr. Curry to offer not only our sincere apologies but a full refund of his stay and an invitation to return, at no cost, anytime in the future,” general manager Neil Cramm said to Colorado Springs Indy.

The Mining Exchange plays a special role in the Colorado Springs community and we will continue working each and every day to ensure that our hotel remains a space that is open and welcoming to all.”
