“Always be the hardest worker in the room and you are the only one that knows if you’re giving one hundred percent effort so if you are cheating, it only holds you back.”- John McDonald CEO of Mercer Street Hospitality
I wanted to read this book because I am working in a hotel and I know how hard it can be to get all the things right.
There is something I’ve come to value about hotel stays: how in the accustomed rituals and formalities of arrival and departure, each visit mimics a larger journey. And in that transition, the span between check-in and check-out, guests are liberated from the uncomfortable truth that, sooner than anyone likes to imagine, the trip has ended and the time has come to pay the bill.
In his book, Dennis Coates shared funny moments as poor Martin Hammond, the new appointed manager, tries without success to deal with managing the hotel, a large staff, and of his love life.
Dealing with unhappy customers, and dishonest staff, Mr.Hammond give us a snapshot of life in the hospitality industry very close to the well-known English series of Basil Fawlty.full of British humor and embarrassing situations,
I’ll give it an incontestable five stars.
