- Assist with laundry, including washing, drying, folding, and organizing linens.
- Help with light housekeeping duties, including cleaning guest rooms and public areas as needed.
- Prepare breakfast items and assist with breakfast setup for the morning team.
- Restock housekeeping closets, guest amenities, and hotel supplies.
- Maintain the cleanliness and presentation of the lobby, breakfast room, hallways, and other common areas.
- Work closely with housekeeping and management to ensure the hotel is prepared for the next day's arrivals.

- Able to lift up to 40 pounds and perform physical tasks including laundry, housekeeping, stocking supplies, and preparing breakfast.
- Must be reliable, trustworthy, and committed to providing outstanding guest service.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who takes pride in their work, enjoys helping others, and understands that every interaction contributes to an exceptional guest experience. The ideal candidate is proactive, self-motivated, adaptable, and willing to assist wherever needed to keep the hotel running smoothly overnight. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys variety, values teamwork, and takes ownership of creating a welcoming and well-prepared environment for every guest.
