"I believe that my best ability is the way that I interact with the guests. I try to always have a smile on my face, and some pep in the step as we seek to meet their needs. I believe that customers can spot mediocre customer service from a mile away. My job as a hotel manager is to make sure that never happens."

"I have several strong customer service skills, but my best is my ability to listen to the customer. If you don't hear them, then how can you help them? I work hard to put myself in the guest's shoes and try to look at things from their perspective. It helps me be empathetic and solution-driven."
