Internship at the Gresham Belson Hotel


So far I have enjoyed working at my internship at the Gresham Belson Hotel and I have had the chance to learn a lot of things about how a hotel operates. My main tasks so far have been creating charts that correlate with the budget or rates of the hotel. I have gotten to speak with the general manager a few times during meetings to learn about how plans of action are made. Because the hotel tries to have the lowest rates in the area on any given day there is a constant need to check the rates of other surrounding hotels. I’ve learned that by looking at close competitors and determining times of the year that are exceptionally busy they are able to create a schedule of rates to both meet their budget and give them a competitive advantage. I look forward to the many other things that I will be able to learn while I’m here. My supervisor has told me that I will get to see the different departments of the hotel and how they operate too.
