NASHVILLE -- The hotel where white supremacists planned to host an annual event this weekend has canceled the group's reservations, according to Guesthouse Inn director of sales Michelle Jameson.

Jameson said the hotel decided three days ago to cancel reservations for a Council of Conservative Citizens event. She said the hotel took the action after "it was brought to our attention to what this group might possibly be."

The CCC is a white supremacist organization cited as the possible inspiration for Dylann Roof, the man charged with murdering nine black churchgoers at Emanuel AME in Charleston, S.C.

"This is definitely not what the Guesthouse Inn represents," Jameson said in a phone interview Thursday. "The group will not be at our hotel, nor will they ever be at our hotel."
