• Monitor hotel safety, security, and overnight operational readiness while following hotel safety procedures and policies.
• Maintain cleanliness, organization, and presentation standards across Front Desk and lobby areas.
• Partner closely with Housekeeping, Engineering, Security, and hotel leadership teams to support smooth overnight operations.
