“…about 25 percent of the roof had become separated, and he said it is a possibility that more could become detached as the storm progresses…”
Earlier this evening, high winds damaged the membrane roof of the DoubleTree Hilton Hotel in Middleton and Danvers. Some of the roof started to separate, and the hotel is experiencing water damage as a result.
The Fire Dept. has notified the Middleton building inspector and electrical inspector, as well as the Danvers electrical inspector of the damage.
A few hotel guests staying on the recently renovated 8th floor were moved because of the water damage.
“The hotel staff is working to mitigate any water problems inside the rooms but as far as the actual roof repair that cannot be undertaken until the storm is over,†said Twiss, who said it would be too dangerous at this time.
