Hotel and Motel Managers
1995 THE JOBInns for lodging have been in existence since ancient times. Beginning in Europe, parts of Asia and Africa as modest sleeping quarters for travelers, they evolved to establishments which offered dining and bathing facilities in the late fifteen century. Rail passenger travel created a greater need for hotels in the nineteenth century, but only a few offered luxuries resembling those offered by resort hotels and inns today. As highways crisscrossed the nation, motor lodges sprang up along them to capitalize on the developing mobility of American families.

Large hotels usually have several front office clerks who may specialize as key, reservation or information clerks. They may also operate the hotel's computer.The work of Hotel Desk Clerks is different depending on the size of the hotel.
