You set the standard through your actions, communicate effectively and stay composed when priorities shift. You pay close attention to detail and recognize that even the smallest touches—from how a guestroom is presented to how a concern is addressed—have a meaningful impact on the overall guest experience.

• Experience using a hotel property-management system is preferred.
• Familiarity with Marriott systems, standards or Marriott Bonvoy is considered an asset.
• A professional appearance and a commitment to maintaining high hospitality standards.
• The ability to stand and walk for extended periods and lift up to 25 lbs. (11 kg) when required.
• Flexibility to work a variety of shifts, including days, evenings, weekends and holidays, based on business needs.
