This isn't just about check-ins and key cards. It's about creating genuine connections, anticipating needs, and making sure every guest feels truly seen, heard, and valued.

Detail-oriented, organized, and able to multitask in a fast-paced environment. Reliable, flexible, and available to work a variety of shifts including weekends and holidays. Previous hotel front desk or hospitality experience preferred, but not required-we're happy to train individuals with the right attitude and drive. What Makes Us Different Unscripted Hospitality is more than a service philosophy-it's a culture of care, empowerment, and personal connection. We trust our team members to lead with heart, to listen deeply, and to take ownership of the guest experience beyond s or scripted lines. At OTH Hotels Resorts, you're not just doing a job-you're making someone's day, every day.
