Who We Are

We love what we do and what we do is important We believe that everyone should leave feeling better – this means not just our guests and owners, but also our teammates. Everyone should go home feeling better because they learned something new, or had fun working that day. Therefore, we hire unique individuals who work together to create amazing experiences for our guests. We recognize that every member of the team contributes to the success of the whole organization. No-one is more important than anyone else, and unless we are in it together, we can't create that special experience for our guest.


Your Mission

Should you choose to accept it...


We want someone who thinks outside the box. Our Belief Statement starts with "We love what we do and what we do is important." Every single teammate in our hotel is valued and we expect our guests to feel the same way. This isn't a walk in the park, but if you are passionate about people, share our quirky sense of humor, and are able to see beyond the traditional scope of checking in and out, then this just might be the right role for you. We aim to deliver outstanding guest service to our guests and the team by offering timely, efficient, knowledgeable, warm and truly remarkable service. We will listen, record and maintain continuous communication with all departments to monitor completion of all guest requests. All incoming calls will be answered warmly, efficiently and thoroughly so that each guest hangs up the phone feeling better.
