Housekeeping Room Attendant
About The Position
The Room Attendant cleans areas of the hotel where guests spend time during their stay. Work takes place in guest rooms, bathrooms, kitchens, lounges, lobbies, landings, elevators, stairways, locker rooms, and other hotel areas. Most work areas are well-lit and temperature controlled, though the attendant may have limited exposure to weather when cleaning landings and other outdoor areas. Floors may be cement, carpeted, tiled, or wood. The position involves handling and transporting linens, making beds, replenishing guest-room and bathroom supplies, and cleaning furniture, equipment, floors, windows, walls, doors, carpets, and upholstered furnishings. The attendant also empties waste baskets, transports trash, replaces light bulbs, and may move furniture, hang drapery, or roll carpet as needed. Additional duties may be assigned by a manager or supervisor. Work shifts vary with facility needs; the employer has some full-time positions and some part-time positions.
