An enjoyable stay at a hotel, motel, or other sort of commercial residential establishment is guaranteed by hospitality managers for all of their customers, whether they are there for leisure or business. Additionally, they have the responsibility of ensuring that the business is operated economically and efficiently. Imagine entering a gleaming lobby and being greeted by a cheerful receptionist. After discussing some personal information regarding your identity, finances, and other matters, you take your room key to the assigned room, unlock the door, and lie down on a newly made bed. You place a room service order, put on the TV, and unwind for the evening. This is an illustration of a hassle-free, laid-back hotel stay. The Hospitality Manager himself is responsible for ensuring that this takes place.
