re: Hotel management question

I worked in hotels in high school and college. Front Desk.
The hotel maids are assigned a block of rooms, that are usually all next to each other for efficiency purposes. A maid might be responsible for say 12 rooms. If you have a 120 room hotel, that's 10 maids on the clock each day.
Well if you only have 48 rooms filled, you want to spread those 48 rooms around, so you don't have four maids doing 12 rooms each and the others not working. That makes no sense. You'd rather have all the maids come in, do a few rooms each, and clock out.
You also want rooms used pretty evenly so no one room is overused.
Finally, guests would rather spread themselves out, if you have no one on either side of you, it will be quieter.

My Marriott profile requests a high floor away from the elevator. They do a pretty good job honoring it.
Ironically, I'm posting from my room on a low-ish floor a room down from the elevator shaft.

Was just coming to post this. A lot of people do not realize that the rotation in hotels and restaurants are important.
