Job Description

Marriott International is a globally recognized hospitality company that operates a diverse portfolio of premier hotels and lodging facilities across the world. Known for its commitment to superior service, innovative guest experiences, and a rich tradition of excellence, Marriott International offers an environment where associates are empowered to deliver memorable experiences to guests. Among its prestigious brands is Courtyard by Marriott, a hotel designed specifically with business travelers in mind. Courtyard hotels focus on providing a seamless experience that combines comfort, efficiency, and personalized service to ensure that every guest's stay is exceptional in both quality and convenience.

At Marriott, the commitment to inclusivity, equal opportunity, and the celebration of diverse backgrounds is foundational to their workplace culture. They strive to cultivate an environment where employees feel valued, supported, and equipped to succeed, regardless of differences such as disability, veteran status, or any other protected classifications. This dedication extends to career development and engagement, inviting individuals to belong to a global team that's ambitious, supportive, and rewarding.

The Guest Service Expert role at Courtyard by Marriott exemplifies the company’s customer service philosophy. This full-time position is integral in shaping the guest experience beyond simply serving food and drinks. It's about building memories and delivering a uniquely personal and delightful dining and service encounter. Guest Service Experts are dynamic employees who engage with guests directly, ensuring that each moment is pleasant and professional from the moment they arrive until they conclude their meal.

The role requires employees to be proactive and hands-on, performing a combination of tasks including setting tables, coordinating with the kitchen staff to meet guest needs, serving customers courteously, and maintaining cleanliness and order in service and work areas. Physical stamina and attentiveness are crucial, as the position involves standing, walking, and moving around on various surfaces throughout the shift, including potentially slippery or uneven areas. A Guest Service Expert must also abide by strict safety standards, company policies, and quality assurance guidelines to uphold Marriott’s esteemed reputation.

Courtyard’s Guest Service Experts are expected to maintain a professional appearance and demeanor, reflecting the brand’s commitment to quality and guest satisfaction. The role also includes manual handling duties involving lifting and moving objects within specified weight limits, requiring individuals who are physically capable and conscientious. Beyond the day-to-day tasks, the position is an opportunity to learn, grow, and be part of a vibrant team dedicated to continuous improvement and excellence in hospitality.

The ideal candidate for this role will have a high school diploma or G.E.D. equivalent and will likely be in the early stages of their hospitality career, with less than one year of related work experience. No prior supervisory experience is required, making this position a great entry point for those passionate about joining the hotel industry and advancing their career within the Marriott family. Licensed or certified qualifications are not mandatory, but a genuine enthusiasm for guest service and the hospitality industry is essential.

By joining Courtyard by Marriott, individuals become part of a worldwide network of hospitality professionals with opportunities for career growth and development. This is a full-time role, offering consistent employment and the chance to work in a forward-thinking and guest-centric environment. Marriott International provides a platform where employees can 'be' their best, 'begin' their purpose, 'belong' to an exceptional global team, and 'become' the best version of themselves through meaningful work and collaborative success.
