I look forward to the challenges of integrating the Manchester Hampton Inn into the mix. We will be offering transient and group guests an experience that will keep them coming back to the area.”
Duvernoy’s background as a collegiate soccer player at Endicott College in MA will assist the new property in working with the town and other officials to attract quality tournaments to the area.
