• Respond promptly and professionally to guest requests, operational concerns, radio calls, and housekeeping communication needs.
• Assist with administrative tasks including reporting, data entry, scheduling support, inventory tracking, and operational documentation.
• Maintain housekeeping logs, work orders, lost and found records, room inspection updates, and operational systems accurately.
• Support housekeeping leadership with onboarding coordination, operational communication, team assignments, and daily department organization.
• Monitor housekeeping supplies, linen inventory, operational equipment, and department organization as needed.
• Ensure cleanliness and organization across housekeeping offices, storage areas, and operational workspaces.
• Support VIP arrivals, group business, room readiness coordination, and special operational projects as needed.
• Help foster a collaborative, energetic, and guest-focused culture aligned with Sonesta's People People philosophy.
• Any other duties as assigned.

• Strong attention to detail with a focus on operational accuracy and guest readiness.
• Excellent teamwork and communication skills with the ability to coordinate across multiple hotel departments.
