• Welcome and engage guests with a warm, professional and genuine approach
• Handle check-ins, check-outs, reservations, payments and guest requests accurately
• Anticipate guest needs and provide personalized service
• Resolve guest concerns and complaints with confidence, professionalism and good judgment

• Protect guest privacy and confidential information
• Follow through on guest requests from start to finish

We’re Looking For Someone Who Is:

• Guest-focused — You genuinely care about people and understand hospitality.
• A problem solver — You can think through a situation and find a solution instead of immediately saying, “I don't know.”
• A strong communicator — You know how to communicate with guests, coworkers and leadership professionally, even when situations are difficult.
• A multitasker — You can answer the phone, assist a guest at the desk, respond to a request and still keep track of what needs to be done.
• Self-motivated — You see what needs to be done and do it. You don't need someone standing over you.
• Accountable — You take ownership of your responsibilities and follow through.
• Calm under pressure — Busy days, difficult guests and unexpected situations don't throw you off your game.

If you take pride in service, take ownership, solve problems and want to make a difference in the guest experience, we want to hear from you.
