But when the storm hit, less than 10 staffers stayed at the hotel. The rest of the reservations were cancelled.
"I know that because the weather did not to turn out to be as severe as originally forecasted, one manager who had a room at the hotel made a decision at 6:30 to go home," Associate Director of Residential Dining Rosemary McGahey says.
Almost a dozen other staffers stayed at different houses.
In Adams House, bunk beds were brough into a private dining hall for one of the hourly Adams dining hall staff. He was joined by "a few others, proably security or cleaning staff," McGahee says.
The kitchen was made available to the staff all night. The Adams overnight guests made sandwiches before they went to bed, McGahee says.
A cook from Lowell and Wintrhop Houses decided to stay in Winthrop House rather than make the commute to New Hampshire and back in the morning.
Three HUDS employees stayed overnight in Dunster House and two slept in a Quincy House guest suite.
