"A lot of what a good manager does is observe and ensure the quality of service is consistent. You have to be willing to get out and see exactly how your employees are doing, and sometimes even assisting them."

A big part of a hotel manager's responsibility is to walk around the property and observe. This requires an attention to detail that exceeds the employees. The interviewer needs to know that you realize that this kind of management must happen. Be confident in your ability to observe and adhere to policies.

"I am not the kind of manager who will be stuck in their office all day. I like to be out and about walking the property, observing the interactions that the staff have with guests, even meeting guests themselves. I am not afraid to correct an employee if I need to."
