Hotels in Massachusetts continue to cancel reservations for the Army-Navy football game to accommodate the influx of unhoused immigrants in the state, leaving many hopeful attendees suddenly without a place to stay when they travel for the game.
Mark Mansbach, a real estate agent from New Jersey, told CBS News Boston that at least 70 of his reservations were canceled in Foxborough, where the Army-Navy game is being held. The cancellations are legal under Massachusetts's right-to-shelter law, which has allowed hundreds of families to be put up in hotels — most of them immigrants.
Mansbach said Giri Hotel Management, whose hotels booked many of his clients' reservations, told him it had to cancel the football game reservations to continue the migrant housing lease with the state.
"I have never had a hotel take rooms back and give me nothing. They sent out cancellations and walked away," Mansbach said. "Some [clients] have decided not to go, and others found space in Boston. Some I have been able to put into other hotels that I had space left in."
