  • Answer phones, provide information about menus and hotel amenities, and handle inquiries or special requests.
  • Support team members in creating a positive, guest-first environment.
  • Follow all health, safety, and sanitation procedures.

Qualifications

  • Previous hospitality, front desk, or customer service experience preferred but not required.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Positive attitude, professional appearance, and guest-focused mindset.
