As general manager, Ms. Dell will oversee operations, sales and marketing for the full service hotel.  The hotel is currently undergoing a complete renovation including guest rooms, public areas and construction of a new suite tower.  Later this year, the hotel will be rebranded as a DoubleTree by Hilton.  Hotel amenities will include a new swimming pool, modern fitness center, meeting rooms, and a full-service restaurant and lounge.

“This appointment marks a significant step in the strengthening of our management team as we transition to a DoubleTree Hotel,” said Mr. Frenis in his announcement.  “Lynn’s knowledge of the industry, and experience with the Hilton brand, will ensure that we continue to provide the highest level of service and amenities.”

The hotel renovation and expansion is expected to be completed in early 2013.  Construction activities are being phased to minimize disruptions during renovation activities as the hotel remains open to guests during the expansion.
