Everyone’s a housekeeper and everyone’s an INNkeeper.
INN addition to cleaning, you must absolutely love stairs. Seriously. You can’t get anywhere INN our hotel without climbing lots of stairs. Lots – of – stairs. If you can clear that hurdle, you’ve got to be able to also regularly carry gear up and down those stairs. Up to 25 lbs worth of gear: duffels, ladders, laundry bags, laundry baskets, and more. If that doesn’t sound like your cup of tea, need to read further.
Our hotel is small, our Team is small, our island is small, but our guest experiences are epic. Our secret? We all work for the guest. You’ll focus on cleaning, maintenance, and grounds-keeping, but you’ll also be ready and willing to assist our guests.
