Housekeeping Room Attendant
About The Position
The Room Attendant’s primary responsibility is to clean areas at the hotel facility where guests have spent or will spend time during their stay. The position involves handling and transporting linens, replenishing room supplies, cleaning guest rooms and other hotel areas, and maintaining floors, furnishings, and surfaces. The work takes place in guest rooms, bathrooms, lounges, lobbies, landings, elevators, stairways, kitchens, locker rooms, and other hotel work areas.
