When it comes to cleaning hotels, this Utah-based worker has seen it all. From the messiest of rooms to the rudest of guests, nothing fazes her anymore.
But when two guests left something unexpected between the sheets of their bed, she was brought to tears – of joy. What could have been so special to make her react this way?
The Unsung Hero of Housekeeping – A Park City Maid
From the head office staff, to the people who clean up messy rooms, no hotel job is easy. Housekeeping staff are especially at the rough end of the stick, having to tackle the aftermath of guests who don’t care about the cleanliness of their rooms.
But one maid in Park City, Utah, was different. She’d show up at work every day, determined to do her best. Her dedication and hard work didn’t go unnoticed, as she soon became the unsung hero of the housekeeping industry.
From Nothing to Something – One Woman’s Journey
With sheer grit and determination, this woman walked into the hotel, with no money to her name and no hotel experience, but with a dream in her heart. Little did she know, this bold move would change her life forever.
In 2013, she strode to the front desk with a confidence belying her circumstances and asked to be considered for a job. Miraculously, her courage and ambition were recognized and she landed a job at the hotel, thus beginning her journey from nothing to something.
A Risk That Led To A Success Story
She took a risk and walked into the hotel to find a job. With nothing to lose, this woman, confident in her work ethic and ambition, asked to speak to the owner. Despite having no resume or experience, her courage and determination paid off.
The owner welcomed her aboard, and not long after that, she was successful in her newfound job. This is a story of how taking a risk can lead to a new opportunity and a successful future.
A Desperate Need of Help in Park City, Utah
The owner of the Park City, Utah hotel was hesitant to hire her but desperately needed a new housekeeper. Guests would come and leave the rooms in a complete mess, as if they had no concern for the state they left them in.
With this chaos, the hotel sometimes needed a platoon of people to help restore the rooms for the next customer. Thankfully, a hero came in the form of a housekeeper, and the hotel was saved from the carelessness of visitors.
The Sundance Festival Was One of the Reasons the Housekeeper Was Hired
Besides her determination, other reasons contributed to the housekeeper being hired for the job. Something had to convince the hotel manager to overlook her lack of experience and qualifications. It was the Sundance Film Festival.
The Sundance Film Festival attracts lots of visitors to the town every year. The next one was even more special. It was the 30th year of the festival, and the busy patronage that was expected meant that it was the wrongest time to be without a housekeeper.
A New Hope for a Troubled Hotel
The hotel had been facing a difficult situation ever since their previous housekeeper quit. Due to the disrespectful guests, no one was willing to take on the role. However, when a confident woman promised to turn any of the room’s messes around before the next guest arrived, the hotel saw a glimmer of hope.
With a renewed sense of optimism, the hotel accepted her offer and appointed her as the new housekeeper. It seemed like things were finally on the path to improvement – thanks to the new housekeeper!
The Woman with a Miracle Touch
The hotel owner was in dire need of someone to assume the role of housekeeper, and not expecting much, he hired her. Much to his surprise, she didn’t quit even after seeing the extremely disorganized state of the rooms.
Within a few weeks, she had completely overhauled the hotel’s organization system and even managed to clean up the huge mountain of accumulated laundry! This woman surely had a miracle touch when it came to organizing and tidying.
“Where Did You Come From?”
These were the words of a senior staff member of the hotel after witnessing the housekeeper’s magic. It was shocking that anyone like this existed with the power to turn great messes around. Not only did she clear the heaps of dirty laundry, she devised an impressive way to keep them.
They wished they had found her earlier. That’s the kind of staff every organization wants. A lady who applied for a job with little to no experience became the star of the hotel.
A Housekeeper’s Hard Work Rewarded
The owner was sure she had made the right choice when she hired this hardworking lady. She was never afraid to get her hands dirty, no matter the state of disarray a room was in.
Although the owner wanted to reward her, she lacked the necessary resources. Fortunately, she had some friends who were happy to step in and give the housekeeper something special. It was a great way to show her appreciation for all her hard work.
