Has anyone ever worked at a hotel?

[SuperBowlNachos]

I just got hired at a Best Western. Not sure what to expect. 3 days a week I will be on the front desk, 2 days a week I am in charge of the breakfast bar. $8 an hour and should be working 36 hours a week. Would love to make more, but not bad for me.

Re: Has anyone ever worked at a hotel?

I haven't, but I know people who have and I stay in a hotel usually 150+ nights. If you are working mornings, be ready to talk with people checking out and having to fix their bills. You aren't in a big chain hotel, so you won't have to deal with people having their reservations cancelled because people like me need a room.

The breakfast bar should be easy, just put out more food. It is usually just fruit, yogurt, cereal.

I'd expect to be the unofficial sentry to the "Walk of Shame Hall of Fame"...

Luckily graduation season is over. Every person I have told that I got hired as said along the lines of "do people even stay there the parking lot is always empty". Unfortunately my town host state softball tournaments every 2 weekends. They better not care that I eat while I put out food either

Kind of. I work at a resort, but I work at a restaurant there not at the front desk.

I worked at one but I was setting up events and banquets so I can't really help you. I do second the walk of shame notion though.

With any people service oriented job, just prepare for your fair share of butt wipes and jerks who think they better then jesus himself customers every now and then.

My best friend works at a Hotel(he actually went to college for it), but you will be doing all sorts of different activities while working.

She was telling me about some crazy complains they get.

I wonder what kind of discount I get. I wouldn't mind booking myself a room away from everyone else and having a few friends over haha. I think during the week maybe 3% of the rooms are used.

I did Event and Banquet set up in college too.

I loved that damn job. They paid me a flat 8 hours every night even if I only worked a couple of hours. Which happened all the time since it was a airport and I mainly set up meeting rooms during the week. Then I could either go home or hang around and flirt with all the night shift girls (who were all pretty much single because of their work schedule).

Awesome times back then.
