Lori Ellersick

Lori began her hospitality career in select service brands and extended stay hotels. She has work in some capacity at almost all Marriott select service brand hotels. Lori’s long General Manager tenure was at the Residence Inn Chico, CA and as the General Manager at the Home2 Suites by Hilton Atascadero, CA. She holds a Liberal Studies degree with a minor in Psychology. Lori is currently working on obtaining my SHRM-CP certificate and possibly the PHRca certificate this year. She started with InterMountain in December 2006 as the Sales Manager for the Courtyard and Residence Inn Chico, CA. She quickly moved her way up to Director of Sales then to General Manager. As General Manager, her hotel won several awards. She and her team successfully opened the Home2 Suites in Atascadero during the pandemic, and it was a true labor of love. In 2021, she left hospitality to work in Human Resources for the State of California with an emphasis on worker’s compensation, recruitment, career counseling, and workforce planning. In her new role as InterMountain’s Employee Relations Manager, she will be researching and explaining laws (West Coast with an emphasis in California law changes) concerning employment with the home office. She will also be assisting the west coast properties with anything HR related. Lori is based in Central California.
