Greed over kindness in midst of am100mph Storm Amy. Made this booking as non refundable and tried to cancel it less than 5 mins after when my train was cancelled due to storm Amy. Expedia called the hotel, I called the hotel but the management’s greed triumphed over kindness. Frankly, in case of such inclement weather, I was shocked by the dryness and lack of support and sympathy. On top of total lack of kindness and understanding. All I asked for was ability to reschedule given I wasn’t going to be able to make it to Durham that day due to cancellation of all trains moving north that day. Computer says no. You’ll find no humanity in this hotel. Cold as ice.

A beautiful period building

This is a hotel with real character. Built as a civic building in 1905, the hotel owner totally renovated the guest rooms but retained the beautiful interiors along the corridors, in the restaurant, etc. In the guest rooms, there is a rarity -- lots of electrical outlets! Also, as this building was built solid, guest rooms are quiet -- you hear nothing from the next room. All the staff (check in, restaurant, cleaners) were very helpful and pleasant. I would stay here again.
