Schedule: Daytime hours; weekend availability required
Job Summary
The Lodge at Great Falls is a small, locally owned motel in Lyndonville looking for a dependable, detail-oriented housekeeper to join us as our business continues to grow.
This is a year-round position for someone who enjoys working independently, takes pride in doing a job well, and is looking for consistent part-time work. We guarantee a minimum of 15 hours per week, with additional hours available depending on occupancy and as additional renovated rooms are opened.
Previous housekeeping experience is helpful, but reliability, attention to detail, and a strong work ethic are most important to us.
Responsibilities
- Clean and reset guest rooms between stays, including bathrooms, beds, floors, surfaces, appliances, and room amenities
- Change bedding and towels and restock guest supplies
- Vacuum, sweep, and mop floors
- Wash, dry, fold, and organize linens and towels
- Clean common guest areas as needed
- Check rooms carefully to make sure they are fully cleaned, stocked, and ready for arriving guests
- Keep housekeeping supplies organized and let management know when supplies are running low
- Report maintenance issues, damage, or missing items
- Assist with deep cleaning and other housekeeping projects during slower periods
What We're Looking For
The right person should:
- Be dependable and consistently arrive when scheduled
- Have excellent attention to detail and take pride in their work
- Be comfortable working independently without constant supervision
- Work efficiently without sacrificing cleanliness
- Be able to prioritize multiple room turnovers based on guest arrival times
- Be comfortable interacting politely and professionally with guests when necessary
- Have reliable transportation
- Be physically able to perform normal housekeeping duties, including bending, lifting, carrying laundry, and being on their feet for extended periods
Previous housekeeping, hotel, or professional cleaning experience is preferred but not required for the right person.
Schedule
Our guest check-out time is 11:00 AM and check-in begins at 3:00 PM, so most room turnovers take place during this four-hour window. Applicants should be comfortable working efficiently and independently to have rooms ready for arriving guests by check-in.
Weekend availability is required. Weekends are typically our busiest time for guest stays and room turnovers, so applicants must be regularly available to work Saturdays and Sundays when needed.
A minimum of 15 hours per week is guaranteed, with additional hours available based on occupancy. Hours may vary from day to day depending on the number of guest departures.
During slower periods, guaranteed hours may include deep cleaning, laundry, common-area cleaning, organizing supplies, and other housekeeping projects.
As we continue renovating and opening additional guest rooms, there is potential for the position and available hours to grow.
About Us
The Lodge at Great Falls is an independently owned and operated motor lodge that has been extensively renovated and updated. We're a small operation rather than a large hotel chain, so reliability, communication, and taking ownership of your work are especially important.
We're looking for someone who wants to become a dependable, long-term part of the motel rather than just looking for seasonal work.
If you're reliable, notice the little things, and enjoy leaving a room looking great for the next guest, we'd love to hear from you.
