I am responsible for providing our guests with a quality customer service experience. I work with them from the time they make a phone reservation to the time that they leave our property. I make it my personal goal to make the check-in process quick and easy for our guests and try to make sure that our guests leave the front desk with a smile. I then perform welcome calls to ensure the guests are satisfied with their accommodations at our hotel. I also work with sales as it pertains to sports groups traveling into our area, and I am responsible for maintaining accurate financials during my shift. Show less
