Housekeepers and their assistants are an important part of the "hospitality industry." They work in hotels and motels, making sure that each guest checks into a clean, neat room with fresh sheets on the bed and fresh towels in the bathroom. Attention to detail is essential. Since guests have different schedules, not every room can be made up in the same way. Housekeepers may have to skip around their assigned floors, yet still make sure that every room on their list has been made up by the end of the day. The best housekeepers take the same pride in preparing a hotel room that they do in preparing their own homes for visiting friends. Like all of the other customer service positions in the hospitality industry, housekeepers play a vital role in making sure a guest has a pleasant stay and checks out with a strong desire to come back to the same hotel the next time.
