Hotels range in size from large buildings with more than 3,000 rooms to small inns that as few as 8 to 10 rooms. Small hotels do not offer the range of services provided by large establishments. However, rooms and meals at most small inns generally cost less than those at large hotels. Hotels in North America employ about one staff member for every two rooms. The hotel staff works around the clock to make the guests comfortable. The housekeeping staff cleans each room daily. Bellhops carry luggage and packages to the guests’ rooms. The engineering department keeps the hotel’s electricity, plumbing, heat, and air conditioning in good working order.
