No Smoking. No Flames.
We are a bookstore with over 2 miles of books on the shelves. The lodging is filled with books by and about North Carolina Authors. For these reasons, including the consideration of other guests to use the space, there is absolutely no smoking of any kind (including vapeing or e-cigs) anywhere on the property. Nor are candles or any open flames permitted.
The Game Board:
We do ask that you walk on the giant game board only in stocking feet or barefoot. Please no shoes, especially high heels. Thank you.
Check-In/Check-Out:
We are sorry but at this time we can not accommodate pets in the lodging, the bookstore downstairs, however, is dog friendly.
We do need to be clear: this is on our second floor, it is located up a flight of stairs with no elevator. Please be certain everyone in your party can walk up stairs before you book your reservation.
Cancellations/ Refunds:
We require three days notice to cancel a reservation, otherwise you will be charged for one night stay. There is a $25.00 cancellation fee.
Deposit:
At the time you make your reservation your card will be charged for One Night's Stay + tax or 50% of your total stay, which ever is greater. The balance will be charged at the end of your stay.
Privacy Policy:
Old Books on Front St is deeply committed to the First Amendment. Just as we protect your right to read whatever might interest you, and would not share any information about you or your reading habits with anyone; any other information you share with us in the process of making a reservation or paying for it is confidential. We will not sell, share or store any of your financial information or identifying information. However, we might send you the occasional email about life here and let you know if anything really exciting is happening. But that’s all. We don’t store your payment info. We don’t share your info at all. What is yours, should stay yours and should stay private. At least, that’s the way we see it.
We accept Master Card and Visa
