Job Summary

As a Valet Attendant, you will be responsible for delivering first-class customer service to guests in a professional, courteous, and efficient manner.

Are You The Right Fit For This Role?

You will be working outside in all kinds of weather, as we do not stop parking cars when it rains, snows, is too hot, or too cold.

You will be assigned an initial schedule to meet our needs at the Hotel property. These schedules will be during our busiest times to ensure higher tips and fewer work hours.
