Guest Experience & Interdepartmental Coordination

  • Partner with Front Office to align room status (vacant and clean, out of order, out of service, early arrivals, late checkouts, room moves); resolve discrepancies in Property Management System (PMS) and dispatch systems in real time.
  • Respond to guest requests, service recovery, and cleanliness concerns with urgency and empathy; document cases and follow through to resolution.
  • Coordinate with Engineering on preventive maintenance and corrective work orders; prioritize rooms to return to inventory quickly.
  • Ensure VIP rooms, special requests, and priority arrivals are prepared and inspected before guest arrival.

  • Ensure compliance with hotel policies, safety procedures, and applicable Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements.
