Master the Facts
You are the point of contact for your guests. Know your area attractions, businesses, restaurants, lounges, and shops. The guest is counting on you to provide accurate information and directions.
It’s Your Job
Take pride in your hotel and promote the “Pick Up and Pitch In” philosophy. If you see a piece of trash or debris, pick it up and throw it away – no matter what department you work in. “If it’s not you, then who? If it’s not now, then when?
Communication
Value, trust, respect, and honesty. Practice open communication between management, staff, and guests. Always focus on the positive and the understanding that everyone is an individual with different needs. To create a positive and rewarding environment, open and honest communication is essential.
Pride
Your name tag is part of your uniform and should always be worn. Take pride in a professional appearance. A clean uniform and high grooming standards are keys to any successful business.
Quality
Quality is your responsibility. A guest should never have to ask more than once for any reasonable request to be fulfilled. Always do the right thing every time. A guest will understand if something goes wrong, but they will not tolerate being ignored when they bring it to your attention.
Safety
If you see a security risk or something that may be dangerous, report it immediately. Remember, it is your hotel and your guests that make your livelihood possible.
Hospitality
Our success depends largely on the service, knowledge, and follow-through you provide for your guests. If you are faced with a guest complaint or opportunity, you own it. Actively listen, show your concern, and follow through with the problem until it is resolved. Follow up with the guest immediately to ensure the problem is solved.
