MERRILLVILLE, Ind., Jan. 11, 2011-- White Lodging is pleased to announce the promotion of Gary Gergely to the position of General Manager at the Hampton Inn in Merrillville, Indiana. "Gary has been part of the White Lodging team for the past two-and-a-half years, and his performance has been impressive," said Regional Vice President John O'Connor.

Gergely joined White Lodging after receiving his MBA from Central Michigan University. In his first position with the company he was the Operations Manager at the Courtyard by Marriott Centerpoint in Pontiac, Michigan.

In this position he was responsible for setting up the front desk with the day's arrivals, managing room and gift shop inventory as well as placing orders for the gift shop.

In addition to his MBA, Gergely also received his undergraduate degree from Central Michigan University and in the summer of 2007 served an internship at Boyne Highlands in Harbor Springs, Michigan. "I'm proud to say that the binder I created during my internship is still being used as the standard for the Marketing/Hospitality Department Interns at Central Michigan," shared Gergely.

As General Manager at the Hampton Inn in Merrillville, Gergely is charged with overseeing the day-to-day operations of the 64-room hotel.
