<h2>Zero-Waste Culinary Innovation: Less Waste, More Creativity</h2>
In honor of Earth Week, we are showcasing Executive Chef Augusto Caudillo&#8217;s culinary point of view that offers a tantalizing blend of aesthetics, innovation, and nutrition — a testament to his love of cooking, sustainability and bringing people together.
Chef Caudillo is passionate about creating dishes that use every part of the ingredient, from root to leaf, and from nose to tail. “There is satisfaction in simplicity, quality and nourishing dishes” Chef Caudillo says, and he delights in the creativity of no-waste cooking to be both sustainable and cost-effective. One of the first dishes zero-waste dishes originated from the need for hibiscus syrup for a signature margarita, &#8220;in the process of making the syrup, the hibiscus flower that was steeped in water to make the base was discarded. I took the discarded hibiscus flower, sautéed it with onions, tomatoes, peppers, and put it on a housemade blue corn tortilla and made a beautifully moody and tasty taco&#8221; said Chef Caudillo.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-2782" src="https://login.247hotels.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/SBATX_Tacos-2.jpg" alt="Vegan Hibiscus Tacos" width="256" height="328" />
Here are two new highlights from his zero-waste culinary dishes at <a href="https://thestewardsb.com/">The Steward Santa Barbara</a>:
Yogurt Marinated Chicken 
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-2779" src="https://login.247hotels.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Yogurt-Marinated-Chicken-Zero-Waste.jpg" alt="Zero-Waste Yogurt Marinated Chicken at The Steward Santa Barbara" width="263" height="351" />
This dish features a whole chicken that is marinated in yogurt and a blend of spices, then roasted to perfection and served with gremolata. The chicken is sourced from Jimenez Family Farm in Santa Ynez, where the chickens are raised humanely and fed organically. Chef Caudillo uses every part of the chicken for different purposes: the bones and scraps are used to make chicken stock, the tenders are used for the kid&#8217;s menu, and the wings are offered as a special during happy hour. The chicken is served with vegetables from the same farm and chickpeas. The liquid from the chickpeas is not thrown away, but instead goes to the bar, where it is used as an egg substitute to make vegan and gluten-free cocktails. The chickpea liquid, also known as aquafaba, can be whipped into a foam that resembles egg whites and adds a creamy texture and fizziness to drinks.
Moroccan Spiced Roasted Carrots 
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2784" src="https://login.247hotels.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Moroccan-Spiced-Roasted-Carrots-Zero-Waste-2.jpg" alt="Roasted Carrots" width="481" height="640" />
This dish showcases the versatility and flavor of carrots, which are also grown at Jimenez Family Farm. Chef Caudillo roasts the carrots with a blend of spices then serves them with labneh, a thick and tangy yogurt cheese that he makes in-house. To make the labneh, Chef Caudillo strains plain yogurt until it becomes thick and creamy, and uses the excess liquid from the yogurt to make the marinade for the chicken dish. He also uses the tops of the carrots, which are often discarded, to make a pesto that adds a fresh and herbaceous touch to the dish.
These are just two examples of how Chef Caudillo transforms simple ingredients into complex and flavorful dishes, while minimizing food waste and maximizing sustainability. If you are curious to try his other creations, you can visit The Steward’s website and <a href="https://thestewardsb.com/terra">make a reservation</a>. You will not only enjoy a bountiful meal, but also support local farms and a socially conscious approach to dining.

The Steward King Room

<h1>Suite Dreams</h1>
What makes staying in a hotel so special that you end up having a perfect sleep? Is it the fluffy hotel bed, complete with a variety of pillows and a heavy duvet? Or is it something else, like the blackout curtains or the aroma? The truth is, it&#8217;s all these factors and more. For National Sleep Awareness Month, let’s uncover why hotel sleep is so blissful.
A Haven with No Distractions
A hotel room is a perfect escape from everything. It’s calm, relaxing, clean, and free from any unnecessary clutter and distractions. A serene environment that’s carefully designed to make you feel as rested as possible.
When you’re in a hotel, you’re away from the daily routines and you don’t have to worry about all the little unfinished tasks that you haven’t had time to do. You can simply relax in the knowledge that all is cared for.
A Respite Perfectly Crafted for Catching Zzz
Hotels put a lot of thought into making sure their guests have the best sleeping experience possible. From the soundproofing and blackout curtains which create a quiet and dark environment for optimal sleep to dimmer switches or lamps to help the create the perfect level of light in the run-up to going to bed and state-of-the-art ventilation and air conditioning systems that keep the air quality fresh and comfortable. Amenities like chamomile tea and lavender-infused sleep masks enhance and enrich your sleep experience, making your time away even sweeter.
Bedding So Fresh &amp; So Clean
Of course, the centerpiece of any hotel room is the bed. And there are few better feelings than when you’ve just washed your bed sheets and you’re climbing into bed to use them for the first time. That crisp, clean feeling can instantly make you feel more relaxed. Hotels not only offer the best quality bedding to ensure it can withstand consistent use and rigorous commercial washings processes but to make the guest stay as comfortable as possible. Some guests even say they have trouble getting out of them in the morning, because they&#8217;re so cozy and snug. Others say they dream more vividly and wake up more refreshed and energized.
So, what are you waiting for? Book a hotel stay and experience the suite dreams and the perfect sleep you deserve.

<h1>National Engineers Week </h1>
Now taking center stage &#8211; hotel engineers! It&#8217;s National Engineers Week and we are shining a spotlight on a few of our indispensable associates. Our engineers play a pivotal role in hospitality, finely tuned, ensuring guest satisfaction and operational efficiency, day in and day out.
Our engineering teams work with all associates throughout the property to create the best experiences for our guests and ensure the owner’s assets are cared for maintained properly. Whether it be through creating a pristine arrival for guests, championing associate safe &amp; sound programs, fixing a down AC unit or cleaning the pool, engineers are integral to every aspect of the hotel.
<a href="https://www.247hotels.com/about">Twenty Four Seven Hotels</a>’ Corporate Director of Engineering, Timothy Laughton says &#8220;hotel engineers are really good at balancing the art of hospitality and the technical expertise required to keep a hotel running. They are the rock stars of our hotels.&#8221;
In celebration and in gratitude, we are proud to recognize a few of our engineering bandmates. Meet them below:
Arturo Franco, Maintenance Leader at Hampton Inn &amp; Suites Buena Park
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-2664 " src="https://login.247hotels.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/arturo-e1708556347935.jpg" alt="" width="249" height="259" />
What do you love about engineering?
I like to help people and take great pride in keeping a “looking good” hotel for guests to stay.
Can you share what inspired you to start in engineering?
I started working in apartment buildings and then joined hotels because of the people &#8211; I like providing customer service and making a difference in the guest experience.

Cristopher Cabrera, Maintenance Engineer at SpringHill Suites by Marriott Anaheim Maingate
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-2665 " src="https://login.247hotels.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/1-1-e1708556460154.jpg" alt="" width="294" height="332" />
What do you love about engineering?
The good feeling when you complete a task or solve a problem.
Can you share what inspired you to start in engineering?
I was given a new opportunity to work in maintenance and love the opportunity to continually learn something new.

Michael Pearson, Chief Engineer at SpringHill Suites by Marriott Boise West/Eagle
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-2661" src="https://login.247hotels.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/20240112_123638.jpg" alt="" width="259" height="345" />
What do you love about engineering?
I love being able to interact with guests from all over the world, solve problems and every day is different!
How does engineering make a difference at your hotel?
It’s really important for guests to have a positive first impression when they drive up to the hotel, enter the lobby, and walk into their room. Something as simple as a light bulb can affect a guest&#8217;s experience.
I know that Engineering is often in the background and not always noticed until something goes wrong. I&#8217;m ok with that because it means we&#8217;re keeping ahead of things!
Can you share what inspired you to start in engineering?
Engineering was not always my intended career path, I have degrees in management, technical communications, and 14-years in the high-tech industry. But I&#8217;ve always been a DIYer, so when I took my first job in hotel engineering eight years ago I knew it was a good fit. This position allows me to draw upon my skills, my education, and my work experience.

What do you love about engineering?
I love figuring things out and every day I continue to learn with my team. I enjoy watching my vision come to fruition.
How does engineering make a difference at your hotel?
Engineering is dynamic, we are everywhere!  We keep an older property looking new.
Can you share what inspired you to start in engineering?
My Dad could fix anything and everything, he inspired me to do the same.

What do you love about engineering?
I love the daily challenges and I can never get bored because there is always something happening and something new to learn.
How does engineering make a difference at your hotel?
By caring for the guest even though we are behind-the-scenes.

What do you love about engineering?
Being able to share my knowledge with other engineers and help them grow.
Can you share what inspired you to start in engineering?
I love the daily challenges. I knew every day would be different from being a plumber one minute to being an electrician the next.
&nbsp;
To all of our Chief Engineers and maintenance associates, thank you for everything you all do to ensure guest satisfaction and operational efficiency. You are the backbone of our well-functioning hotels!

<h1>Daring To Be Great: Insights from a Rising Star</h1>
<h4>Mary Ellen Goese, Corporate Director of Revenue Management </h4>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-2441 " src="https://login.247hotels.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Mary-Ellen-2-e1698704706741.jpg" alt="Mary Ellen" width="283" height="332" />
Meet Mary Ellen Goese, she is one of our Corporate Directors of Revenue Management and oversees a portion of the <a href="https://www.247hotels.com/portfolio">Twenty Four Seven Hotels</a> portfolio. In the hospitality industry, we are always learning, no day is the same and we are constantly on our toes. For Mary Ellen, this challenge gives her the opportunity to thrive and continually find ways to make it better.
Describe your professional career journey. 
Other than a brief stint in retail, my entire career has been in hospitality. I started working as a front desk agent in college to gain work experience hours. After graduating, I moved into a group coordinator role because I wanted to have set work hours, and that is when I learned about revenue management, which I’ve done in some capacity since then, with the last 5 years specifically dedicated to revenue management.
Why did you choose the hospitality industry? 
I never had a set career path in mind, which made it challenging to decide on a college major. I thought I would go with a general Business Administration degree but then I heard about the hospitality program at Cal Poly Pomona and liked the idea of having a more specific path. I attended a meet &amp; greet luncheon for the Collins College, really enjoyed the vibe from the students and professors, and that kicked-off my hospitality journey.
What do you love most about your role? 
I like that there are two sides to my revenue management role, which makes it challenging and motivating. There is the data analytics side and the relationship building side. As revenue leaders, we need to understand the systems, reports, data, etc., but we also need to restate all that information in a way that non-revenue team members can absorb and get on board with the strategies and initiatives.
What is the most pressing business challenge you&#8217;ve faced recently and resolved? 
I can’t say that it’s resolved, but as the company grows, we are figuring out how to grow our department sustainably. A focus area right now is automation: how can we invest in people, programs, and tools to reduce time spent on reporting and increase time spent on strategy.
What inspires you to be great? 
For me, it is important that I am someone my team members can rely on. And to gain that trust, I need to do the best that I can at my job, be consistent, and have empathy towards others. That is what I try to work on every day.
Tell us about your professional aspirations.   
My current goal is to continue learning, growing, and improving my knowledge and skills surrounding revenue management and to help my team members do the same.
We hear you provide mentorship at your alma mater, The Collins College of Hospitality Management at Cal Poly Pomona. Tell us a little about that experience and any advice for those upcoming in their career.
I’ve had several opportunities over the last few years to speak to the revenue management class at the Collins College. It’s been great to reconnect with the university and see how much the hospitality program has grown.
In the guest lectures, I try to provide the students with insights on what a revenue manager&#8217;s job is like day-to-day because that is what I would have found useful when I was in school. I also provide the students with free resources they can take advantage of to learn more about revenue management and see if it’s a viable option for them.
Mary Ellen, thank you for your dedication to making the most of each day and seizing new opportunities. We look forward to your continued growth – the sky is the limit!

<h1>International Housekeeping Week</h1>
It&#8217;s our favorite week of September &#8211; International Housekeeping Week and we&#8217;re celebrating our associates whose role is central to our ability to provide hospitality, finely tuned.
Housekeeping is an essential part of the guest experience, and it’s more than just a perfectly made bed that delivers on this experience. “Housekeeping is the backbone of any hotel,” says Tim Heim, Captain of Moxy Tempe.  “During this week, we really take the time to recognize the tremendous contribution of our Housekeeping teams. And we do it in a way that is not only fun and exciting, but also gives them a chance to show what they do.”
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-2389" src="https://login.247hotels.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/processed-0F1339DF-B303-4A48-BBE4-4DF94D190885-2B614B82-51F6-495C-A970-4AC02D06CA24-e1694470298414.jpeg" alt="" width="1168" height="786" /> <img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2391" src="https://login.247hotels.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/IMG_5716.heic" alt="" />
Across our portfolio of 30 hotels, special recognition events and activities are planned throughout the week. Breakfast with the team, potluck lunches, managers from other departments helping for the day, fun gifts and our-famed Housekeeping Olympics. During the Housekeeping Olympics we have different activities like who can vacuum the fastest, soap stacking, lightning-fast bed making, and pillow stuffing. We invite other departments and our Regional teams to participate and cheer them on, so it&#8217;s a fun motivational experience.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-2396 " src="https://login.247hotels.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Promotions-LI-post-1-e1694471109185.png" alt="" width="1166" height="486" />
Quite often, our Housekeepers must deal with the unexpected, but their willingness to deliver an impeccable room product with excellent customer service is what sets them apart. Simply put, our Housekeeping teams are the heart of the hotel and while we honor their commitment, hard work and attention detail every day, this is a special week to set aside time to celebrate.
To each of our 400 Housekeeping associates, your tireless and selfless contributions make our hotels possible, thank you for serving with love.

<h1>Daring To Be Great: Female General Managers Spotlight</h1>

What inspires you in the workplace? 
Nicole: I’ve always been inspired by those that weren’t always dealt the greatest hand, but you would never know it by their work ethic.
Jessica: Workplace relationships and connections. The opportunity to meet a myriad of individuals from all over the world and learn from the talented associates I lead.
Adilene: The desire to learn something new every day. New challenges arise, nothing is ever the same and being able to find solutions to different situations is inspiring for me.
What is your work mantra? 
Nicole: We set the bar.
Jessica: Stop trying to calm the storm. Calm yourself. The storm will pass.
Adilene: To celebrate all kinds of success whether it&#8217;s big or small, any celebration is exciting and it’s important to find different ways to celebrate your team.
What is your leadership philosophy? 
Nicole: I believe my team is watching how I handle every matter–big and small. Therefore, I lead by example. I show each of them that the bare minimum isn’t an option. Recognition has become a habit to give. I show compassion, recognizing their personal life. We aren’t machines, we are people with feelings, and we all get treated with the same respect. There will always be issues that arise, however, how we deal with them will set a tone for the workplace.
Jessica: Lead by example! Brené Brown phrased it best, &#8220;For me, if you&#8217;re not in the arena also getting your ass kicked, I am not interested in your feedback.&#8221;
Adilene: I enjoy leading by example—what better example than our own.
What advice do you give up and coming female leaders?
Nicole: Being a female leader in a male driven occupation is extremely tough at times. I’m my true self, always. I can be tough, soft, funny, serious, logical, sensitive, and reasonable. But I always demand the same respect I give you. My advice is just to be your authentic self. Set boundaries when needed and enjoy what you’re doing. Because happy employees are productive employees.
Jessica: The ability to learn is the most important skill a leader should have. And empower those around you! The best leaders, develop those around them.
Adilene: The best advice I can ever give is to be yourself! That is the most powerful tool we have as leaders.
In a role, predominantly held by men, these women are carving out their own path to success and helping others along the way. Thank you for sharing your passion and inspiring us all, here&#8217;s to a bright-her future!

<h1>Daring To Be Great: Female Leader Spotlight</h1>
<h4>Donna Soumphonphakdy, Area Director of Sales </h4>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-2087 " src="https://login.247hotels.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/selfie-e1678240428749.jpg" alt="" width="510" height="336" />
As we celebrate Women’s History Month, meet Donna Soumphonphakdy! She is the Director of Sales for two <a href="https://www.247hotels.com/portfolio">Twenty Four Seven Hotels</a> – <a href="https://www.247hotels.com/locations/towneplace-suites-by-marriott-ontario-chino-hills">TownePlace Suites</a> and <a href="https://www.247hotels.com/locations/holiday-inn-express-chino-hills">Holiday Inn Express</a>, both located in beautiful Chino Hills, California. Donna is one of our thriving leaders with a real passion for people and hospitality and she is enthusiastic about what’s to come. 
How did your career begin? 
Honestly, I feel like I was a late bloomer in the hospitality industry. After graduating college, it was challenging to get my foot in the door for a sales position and I knew from my internship at InterContinental Saint Paul Riverfront, operations was not something I wanted to pursue. So, I continued with administrative and retail sales jobs, building experience until I received an opportunity as a Group Sales Manager for Crowne Plaza Minneapolis. That was 2014 and have been in the hospitality industry ever since.   
Why hospitality? What do you love most about your job? 
My mom was a housekeeper for 25 years at the Crowne Plaza Minneapolis. Growing up at the hotel, I loved seeing and being a part of the culture and community they built for their employees. The same hotel was my first Group Sales Manager position.  
I love the real connections I make with people. It’s so important to be able to connect with people, at every level, especially when the connection grows beyond business. Building relationships is key, you just never know when a connection can turn into business.    
How would you describe yourself in a single sentence? 
&#8220;In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different.&#8221; &#8211;Coco Chanel 
What motivated you to step up and become a leader in the organization? 
I am a very goal-oriented person and I always want to challenge myself. With 24seven Hotels, it was easy to want more and want to become a leader because of all the support and encouragement I received from my regional leader, ownership, and peers. Having that level of energy and hype behind you, the sky&#8217;s the limit.  
Who is the person who inspires you or your leadership mentor? 
My parents – they inspire me to want to be better for myself. Growing up I didn’t understand why my parents hustled so hard, why they pushed education, culture, religion, why it was important for them to build a home from the ground up for my sister and me. As I got older, I started to understand more, they left everything they knew for a new life, new language, new culture, new hopes, and dreams. As a first generation Asian American, I owe it to parents and myself to succeed in everything I do – they inspire me every day to be more and authentically myself.  
Favorite piece of advice you’ve received?  
I love all things women’s rights, empowerment, and equality so I really felt it when Rihanna said “There&#8217;s something so special about a woman who dominates in a man&#8217;s world. It takes a certain grace, strength, intelligence, fearlessness, and the nerve to never take no for an answer.”  
What would you say to inspire the next generation of hospitality leaders? 
Never count yourself out – if the client tells you no, it’s a no for right now but it can be a yes in the future.  
What do you do to recharge? 
Me time! I love spoiling myself, spending quality time by myself and being in-tune with my feelings. I am a firm believer in self-care and inner peace. No matter what that looks for a person, mental health is so important, especially in today’s society.  
Favorite app, podcast or book: 
My favorite app is Canva, it’s my go-to! I love creating work-related and personal content.  
My favorite book is “Women Don’t Owe You Pretty” by Florence Given.  
Favorite travel destination: 
I never thought I’d ever say this but Minnesota, I’m sure it will change once my parents decide to move to California. 
Hype song:  
I’m a 90’s and 2000’s era type of girl but any time “Pour It Up” by Rihanna comes on, it’s speaking to my soul!
Thank you for everything you do, Donna and for being an inspiration to your team. We look forward to your continued growth and you&#8217;re right – the sky IS the limit!

<h1>Zero-Proof Cocktails for the New Year</h1>
After a season of indulgence, a change in routine can be just what you need. That’s the idea behind Dry January, but Yelp believes non-alcoholic cocktail alternatives will continue to rise in popularity throughout 2023. With celebrities creating their own lines to bars going booze-free, you no longer have to order water if you’re not drinking.
Made from fresh squeezed juices, teas, and other herbal ingredients, a mocktail is as nuanced as the most complicated cocktail. According to Bacardi, 40% of respondents in the 2023 Cocktail Trends Report said they are drinking more non-alcoholic or low alcoholic drinks compared to 2020.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-1931" src="https://login.247hotels.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/iStock-1339612454.jpg" alt="Fruit-based mocktails in highball glasses" width="5200" height="2768" />
Stacey Rivera, Regional Director of Operations at Twenty Four Seven Hotels, is leading the way with a bar menu shake up across the hotel portfolio – “when we embrace the versatility that non-acholic drinks offer, it entices our guests to raise a glass.” In the past, when guests ordered a non-alcoholic drink, they would get something overly sweet, now with new non-alcoholic spirits, you can get the flavor complexity of an alcoholic cocktail.
The rise in craft cocktails sans alcohol is something to celebrate. So, mix it up and try these zero-proof cocktails at participating Twenty Four Seven Hotels or shake up these recipes at home—they&#8217;re sure to satisfy your craving and guaranteed to be hangover-free.

<h1>1 Week, 4 States, 18 Community Projects</h1>
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Each November we look forward to a dedicated, weeklong celebration of our customers and opportunities for our teams to participate in local community projects where we live, work and travel. At Twenty Four Seven Hotels, we believe in making each day better and this strong commitment doesn’t apply to just associates, clients and guests but also to the communities our hotels are a part of.
Throughout the week hotel teams hosted their own special events, receptions, and office visits to show appreciation for our loyal customers. This gives us time to personally engage with our clients, strengthen our relationships and thank them for their continued partnership.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1803" src="https://login.247hotels.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/2.png" alt="Collage of Associates and Clients" width="1835" height="581" />
In addition to thanking our customers, we champion making a positive impact in our local communities. We empower each of our associates to ask the question “what can I do next” wherever they work and live. No matter how small the project may seem, when our hospitality band collectively comes together a bunch of seemingly little things turn into big things, and we are able to leave things just a little better than before.
A few of this years’ service projects included:
<ul>
<li>Rake Up Boise – Our Boise hotels team up annually to rake leaves for the elderly in their community.</li>
<li>Second Harvest Food Bank – Our corporate team worked in the fields to plant and harvest fresh produce at Harvest Solutions Farm which supplies 40,000 pounds of healthy produce weekly to those in need.</li>
<li>Bob Hope USO – The teams in Los Angeles worked together to proudly serve our military members and their families seeking comfort and connection to home while traveling.</li>
<li>Orange County Coast keeper – We take a lot of pride in our coastal home and environment. Participating in a beach clean-up day protects marine wildlife and their habitats.</li>
</ul>
Teams also volunteered their time and collected donations for: Coachella Valley Rescue Mission, Boys &amp; Girls Club, West End Shelter for Animals, Foothill Family Shelter, Gathering Humanity, Chino Neighborhood House, Orange County Food Bank, West Valley Food Bank, Family Assistance Ministries and Life Acts.

“Part of crafting inspired workplaces is building community within our company while also helping support the area and local partnerships where we reside. We are proud to be able to serve not only our guests, but also those in need around us. That is what true hospitality is about.” says Hannah Huse, VP of Sales &amp; Marketing.

<h1>A Day in the Life: Housekeeping Department</h1>
Each day our housekeepers come to the hotel with one main goal – to make sure they provide a clean, hygienic and friendly atmosphere to all our guests.
Today, across our hotels, there are 500 rooms to cleaned and 2,000 towels to be washed.
After a team meeting at the start of shift, housekeepers set off with a list of rooms to be cleaned that day, a cart of cleaning products and room amenities, and a vacuum. First, you strip the beds. The linens and dirty towels need to be collected, to be washed immediately. Fresh linens from the cart are stretched across the mattress and folded at the creases for the famous “hotel corners.” Then, you vacuum every corner of the room. You move on to the bathroom. You replace the towels and bath amenities. Every room must look exactly like it did before the guest enters. The guest, in fact, must not be able to notice that anyone was ever there.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1370" src="https://login.247hotels.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/HSKP-Collage-Blog-Story-1536x1229-1.webp" alt="" width="1536" height="1229" />
If you see our housekeepers in the hotel hallways, you’ll find them with smiling faces always happy to greet you. If a guest has left anything behind, they will keep lost property safe. One of our seasoned housekeepers said, “the most important thing about my job is serving others and the opportunity to do something positive for someone.” Our associates are happy to serve, and the entire team works together to make the hotel shine – literally – so that our guests have the best possible experience. It is the ultimate act of hospitality too often taken for granted, yet unimaginable to be without.
Every September, our industry celebrates Housekeeping Week. While we appreciate their hard work and dedication every day, this is a special week to set aside time to celebrate our associates. Their tireless and selfless contributions make our hotels possible. Thank you to all of our Housekeeping Teams – YOU ROCK!

<h1>The Sky&#8217;s The Limit</h1>
We are thrilled to share Alva Nava’s recent promotion to Front Office Manager. Alva has been with Twenty Four Seven Hotels for 4 years. She joined the opening team of the Hampton Inn &amp; Suites Buena Park in 2018, working in various roles from Sales Coordinator to Front Desk Agent.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1358" src="https://login.247hotels.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/The-Skies-The-Limit.jpg" alt="Alva Nava Front Office Manager" width="564" height="464" />
From the beginning, Alva’s dedication to her craft has been very apparent when observing her engagement with guests and colleagues alike. “I chose a career in hospitality because I love interacting with people from all over the globe. I pride myself in building relationships with our corporate accounts, returning families and my team. Making guests happy and comfortable during their stay with us is what brings me joy.” said Alva.
Alva truly reflects many of our core values – kindness, compassion, and collaboration. “In the time I have worked with Alva, I have witnessed her genuine thoughtfulness and caring for both her team members and hotel guests. She will do everything from set up a meeting room and help the breakfast staff buss a table to answering the phones. Her smile and welcoming attitude have built a strong bond between the hotel and loyal guests” said Amanda Gould, Sales Manager at Hampton Inn &amp; Suites Buena Park.
Alva’s initiative to learn and grow is inspiring to all of us. “Since joining the Twenty Four Seven Hotels team, I have grown tremendously in my career and in my personal life. The learning experience is infinite when it comes to hospitality, and I love that Twenty Four Seven Hotels offers a strong support system. I plan to continue to work my way to the top and become the “crème-of-the-crop” just like those who have guided me – Brandon Jemison, John Kuhn, Amanda Gould, and Rikin Patel” said Alva.
Thank you for everything you do, and we look forward to watching you continue to grow and thrive – the sky&#8217;s the limit!

<h1>Women in Leadership</h1>
As we celebrate Women&#8217;s History Month, we looked at a recent study by the Castell Project &amp; the American Hotel &amp; Lodging Association stating &#8220;women hold only one leadership spot for every ten men&#8221; yet we know women are critical to our industry—as owners, leaders and workforce, they make up 57% of industry employees.
Hannah Huse, our Vice President of Sales &amp; Marketing shares her passion for mentorship and why building a supportive culture are key for changing these statistics.
&#8220;As a young mom, I always struggled with the tension of pursuing my career and wanting to be a present provider for my children. I had shame attached to choosing one over the other and anxiety about letting either down. I think it’s important for us to eliminate that shame and build corporate cultures that accommodate both professional growth and motherhood. We must value the unique strengths of women leaders and create an environment that supports mentorship, helping them find their voice and reach new career goals. Getting to teach and train not just sales and marketing skills, but the importance of our values and the way we interact, is one of my favorite parts of my role with Twenty Four Seven Hotels. We have the same passion for developing people as we do hotels.&#8221;
Over the last four years, I have had the opportunity to work with Deanna Kautai and participate in her development from Sales Manager to Regional Director of Sales. Most recently though, I had the joy of watching her become a mother, learning how to thrive within the home and hotel contexts.
&#8220;Hannah has played a crucial role in my development within Twenty Four Seven Hotels&#8221; says Deanna Kautai. &#8220;As I navigate being a new working mom, she provides mentorship, advice and encouragement based on her personal experiences. One of our company&#8217;s guiding principles is ‘Lead by Example,’ and I’ve been able to excel because she paved the way. I’ve followed her daily examples and taken each opportunity Twenty Four Seven Hotels has given me.&#8221;
Leesa Gibbons, Vice President of People Resources &amp; Development adds &#8220;As we come out of the pandemic, it is even more important to provide new ways of operating with flexible schedules that can accommodate the needs of women to help them reach their potential.&#8221;
Being a female in leadership takes grit, continuous learning, and a willingness to use your voice for the good of others. “I believe leading through humility is key to supporting and raising other women up as we move forward” says Hannah Huse.
