About Us:
Like us, you probably believe in providing guests with an exceptional stay from the moment they step into our lobbies - that's how it's supposed to be!
We have two well-regarded hotels in La Conner, Washington – the La Conner Inn, and also the La Conner Channel Lodge. These are our platforms for success ...to strut our stuff and smother our guests with kindness. It's a tough job, and we get to do it. Did you know that those of us who work in hospitality actually live longer? It may not be proven, but we do like to believe it! Who doesn't love being where people are happy to be!?!
In all seriousness though, at both boutique hotels we embrace our guests with a spirit of welcome and enthusiasm. We recognize that our guests have a choice, and we continuously work to exceed the expectations they arrive with. If we’ve done our jobs right, they will leave the hotel with memories of a positive experience, and with a desire to return again. It's really not that hard ...we just pay attention to their needs, and we try to stay one step ahead of them all the time.
So, where do you start?:
As a Hotel Guest Service Agent, you will be the first point of contact for our guests, providing that warm welcome and making their stay as comfortable as possible.

3. Strong organizational skills with the ability to multitask effectively. We take pride in our work and recognize that our work product impacts the success of others.
4. Experience in customer service or hospitality is preferred but not necessary.
