Hilton moved swiftly to distance itself from the controversy, emphasising that the property in question operates independently.

"This hotel is independently owned and operated, and these actions were not reflective of Hilton values," a company spokesman said.
The hotel giant confirmed it had contacted the accommodation directly following the incident.
"We have been in direct contact with the hotel, and they have apologised for the actions of their team, which was not in keeping with their policies," the spokesman added.
"They have taken immediate action to resolve this matter."
