A black woman was at the pool on vacation. Then a man insisted she shower before swimming.

The article stated the guy did not work for the hotel, nor was he a health inspector. He lied about that. He also didn't ask anyone else in the pool about showering (the rest were white).

The hotel’s manager, Carl Sprayberry, released a statement that expressed regret for the way Wheeler was treated by the man.

“Harassment on any basis is not tolerated,” the statement said. “We are continuing to investigate this serious matter and deeply regret that one of our guests experienced this type of behavior.”

The Pasadena Health Department told the television channel KTLA that the man is not a health inspector and that no inspector had been at the Westin recently. And an inspector would not confront patrons if there had been any sanitation issues at the pool, a spokeswoman said.
