Hotel Room Attendant

You are given a floor list each morning with departures marked first. In a stay over room you make the bed, change towels on request, clean the bathroom, dust, vacuum and restock the amenities. A departure room is stripped completely, the mattress protector checked, the bathroom descaled and the room set to the standard sheet. Lost property and maintenance faults go to the floor supervisor. Fourteen to sixteen rooms is a normal day, and you work six days with one day off.
