Replacing Damon will be another longtime HVM team member, Julie Burr! For the past nine years Julie has managed the company’s Holiday Inn Express West location in Bloomington. Prior to that position, Julie managed the Hampton in Lincoln so she is happy to be making her way back to the area. Julie will manage the operations of Hampton by Hilton and Comfort Inn & Suites in Lincoln.

Also, as part of this change, the company has been able to make another internal promotion for the General Manager position at the Bloomington location. Jasmine Brooks of Bloomington will take on that role in Bloomington.

On a personal note, “thank you to the Lincoln and surrounding community! I have had the opportunity to meet and work with some great members of the community through all of our networking events and business connections. Also, a huge thank you to my very dedicated and hardworking team at both hotels! I’m very glad Julie will be coming back to Hampton in addition to Comfort, to continue the great service and team that we have built together these past years!” said Priddy.
