PORTLAND, Ore.—Attorneys for a black man who was kicked out of an Oregon hotel last week say they want a public explanation for why he was told to leave.

Nearly a week later, the DoubleTree by Hilton hotel in Portland apologized Friday to Jermaine Massey on Twitter. He has accused the hotel of racially profiling him after a security guard called police to remove him from the lobby, Oregon Public Broadcasting reported.
