The city is under a court order to clear welfare offices of homeless families who stay overnight while awaiting assignments to city shelters.

"Given the controversy, he's feels it's not appropriate to use the hotels for that purpose," said Sam Samuels, a spokesman for Horn. Hotel residents skeptical But residents of the hotels said they were skeptical about Horn's motives.

"What he said was simply a ploy to turn the heat off him and shift it onto the city," said Marjorie Palmer, 52. who has lived in the Cambridge for 20 years.
