Hotel and Motel Managers

Hotel and motel managers, sometimes called lodging managers, are ultimately responsible for the business of running their hotel or motel smoothly and efficiently. Larger establishments may have several managers accountable for different departments. In turn, these departmental managers report to the general manager. The general manager's many duties include managing personnel, financial operations, and promotional activities. There are approximately 53,300 lodging managers in the United States.
