\n Resident airline pilots and tennis stars attending the nearby U.S. Open \u2014 including Naomi Osaka \u2014 breeze through the front door of the La Guardia Airport Marriott, but nearly 100 homeless men being housed there had to use a \u201cpoor door\u201d in the back, the men say.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt made me feel belittled,\u201d said bartender Geraldo Rodriquez, 27.<\/p>\n

Rodriquez said he was directed to the back door after \u201cMy mom tried to drop me off at the front.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe man at the front desk asked me, \u2018Are you coming from the shelter?\u2019 When I said yes, he was like, \u2019Oh, you have to go that way.\u2019 He just pointed to the back. I was literally walking around trying to find out where to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rodriguez said he had to go down a hill and search for the door.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey said it was the employee entrance,\u201d he said. \u201cI felt so ashamed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another homeless occupant who had stayed at the hotel said it was like going to the hospital without insurance and being treated \u201clike crap.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s how the system is built. They app<\/a>ear as if they care but they don\u2019t care. They just put on a face,\u201d said the man who did not want to give his name.<\/p>\n

Lu MaKonnen, 45, former Uber driver, said the hotel\u2019s directive made him feel like a second class citizen.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey didn\u2019t give us any explanation. They just told us to go through the back \u2026 that\u2019s the only way,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The homeless men, who were mostly black and Hispanic, were at the Marriott alongside the Grand Central Parkway until about six weeks ago.<\/p>\n

The de Blasio Administration has relocated about 10,000 shelter residents to hotels to give them more space during the coronavirus outbreak.<\/p>\n

Jabari Brisport, a Democratic social<\/a>ist who is seeking to represent part of Brooklyn in the state Senate, blasted the double door standard.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the inevitable result of de Blasio campaigning on a tale of two cities and then sharpening that divide,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Marriott\u2019s guests now include U.S. Open staffers and players like Osaka who has worn masks throughout the tournament to honor George Floyd and other victims of social injustice.<\/p>\n

Osaka won the tournament yesterday.<\/p>\n

It was unclear if the homeless guests were moved out to prepare for the VIP occupants.<\/p>\n

The homeless men were moved from the Marriott to the nearby Ibis Syles hotel.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are allowed to use the front entrance,\u201d Rodriguez said of this stay at the new quarters.<\/p>\n

A Marriott hotel manager declined to comment and a rep for the chain spokespeople for the chain and Mayor de Blasio did not return requests for comment.<\/p>\n
