The Front Desk Agent role at Hilton Columbus at Easton is a critical position responsible for ensuring guests experience exceptional service from the moment they arrive until their departure. This full-time, in-person position offers a starting pay of $18.00 per hour and comes with an attractive benefits package including 401(k) matching, health and dental insurance, paid time off, and more. The agent acts as the face of the hotel, performing guest check-in and check-out procedures, processing payments, and providing comprehensive information about the hotel services and local tourist attractions.
