Kinston, Oct. 20—Hotel facilities will be offered at the Parrott Memorial Hospital here, shortly to be enlarged with the addition of a new four-story building. It will be a novel departure, at least for this part of the country. If a relative or friend of a patient comes to the institution from a distance, he may be put up at the hospital. Rooms on the top floor will be reserved for such “guests,” and meals will e served them in the dining room. He service will be similar in all respects to that of a first-class hotel, the management states.
The idea was conceived by Dr. Albert DeK. Parrott, head of the institution. In the guest quarters there will be none of the usual restrictions of a hospital except that excessive noise will not be allowed. This will not interfere with the use of the radio, a set of which will be installed in every room. “Of course, not every commercial traveler or delegate to a convention coming to town will be welcomed. The guests will have to have a valid reason for staying at the hotel,” Dr. Parrott stated.
