Operations Update

Kevin Walker has been selected as General Manager. Kevin has been the Assistant General Manager of the Hilton Garden Inn in Portsmouth, NH since just before its opening in 2006. Kevin's official start date in Nashua is January 15.

We have secured temporary office space close to the hotel for pre-opening.

The big news is that we have hired a Director of Sales - Kelly Klopp. Kelly has held the title of Director of Sales at two different hotels, as well as 5 years experience in Catering Sales & Event Management. Kelly also spent much of the year as General Manager of a Four Points by Sheraton in Manchester. Kelly has over 6 years experience in the Manchester market, 2 years in Merrimack, and three years in Nashua.
