INTRODUCTION
While the practice of renting space to travelers stretches

back to antiquity, what could be considered the modern concept
of a hotel derives from 1794, when the City Hotel opened in New
York City. While the practice of renting space was not new, the
City Hotel was purported to be the first building devoted
exclusively to hotel operations. For it’s time, the building
was quite large and possessed 73 rooms. Similar operations soon
appeared in such nearby cities as Baltimore, Boston
and Philadelphia.
Interestingly, New York City’s first skyscraper was a hotel -

the six story Adelphi Hotel.
Hotels took a distinct step up in style and class when the

Tremont House opened in Boston in 1829. This hotel was
considered by many to be the beginning of what was regarded as
first class service. With 170 rooms, the Tremont House was a
large facility. In addition, the hotel offered features which,
for the time, were amazing. Private single and double rooms
were available, which offered not only privacy, but also
security. In addition to water pitchers and a washing bowl,
free soap was provided in each room. The Tremont House offered
French cuisine and, reportedly, was the first hotel to have a
Bellboy.In 1908, the Buffalo Statler opened, marking the
beginning of the modern commercial hotel era. Many services now
considered standard were introduced by the Statler, including
such amenities as a light switch next to the door, private
bathe, ice water and a morning newspaper. The Statler set the
standard of the day by being clean, comfortable and affordable.
The Statler served as the pattern for hotel design and operation
for many years. In the 1920’s, hotel building entered a boom
phase and many famous hotels were opened, including the Waldorf
Astoria, New York’s Hotel Pennsylvania, and the Chicago Hilton
and Towers, which was originally named the
Stevens. Motels began to replace roadside cabins
as use of the automobile spread throughout society. Offering
clean rooms with adjacent parking, motels enjoyed great
popularity with the traveling public.
In the 1950’s and 1960’s, the practice of franchising appeared
within the industry. Franchising enabled entrepreneurs to
expand their operations without the use of substantial
capital. For much of their history, hotels were owned and
operated by individuals. However, as franchises and chains
began to appear, individually owned hotels found themselves
increasingly at a competitive disadvantage. By the 1960’s,
independent prospects began to improve as the result referral
organizations such as Quality Courts, Best Western, Master Host
and Best Eastern. From the 1980’s forward, mergers and
acquisitions became common within the industry, and rand become
hotly traded commodities. Recently, use of management companies
has entered the mainstream. As a result, many chains are more
involved in management than in ownership. These chains realize
a much more predictable and steady income stream than had
normally been yielded by ownership.
Lotus Garden Hotel Manila, Philippines
Formerly Royal Palm Hotel

Welcome to Lotus Garden Hotel, a haven of distinct splendor

located on Mabini corner Padre Faura streets, virtually linked
to many of the most noteworthy places in the Philippines'
capital and its next-door cities.

historical background from the Rizal Park (Luneta) to Intramuros
to Fort Santiago to the Malacañang Palace, the seat of
presidency in the Philippines.

activities that cater to the senses. Lotus Garden Hotel is

WORK EXPERIENCE
CITY GARDEN SUITE
Food and Beverage Department
When I first assigned here I got nervous for I still don’t

know what to do. Our schedule was afternoon shift so expected
that during that hour only few guest were going to eat at the
restaurant of hotel. The first two days of duty in dining, I had
learned how to set the table for breakfast and dinner on their
standard procedure. And then, we’re also blessed enough that
there was a birthday party in function room, so there, we served
a lot of guest. We served once, twice and more than what we are
expecting to. Those chances are helpful. We had attended once a
seminar for the dining employee about their operation.
Housekeeping Department
We’ve been given a one week schedule in this department. At

first, we’re not yet aware of the work so our trainer tells this
and that and so on. It’s quite tiresome to work in housekeeping
department but it was there where I enjoyed myself much because
I do the bed set-up more than once on my own and the room make-
up alone. I’ve known the materials and equipment needed for room
make-up and bed set-up. They taught us the easiest and fastest
way to set-up and the right and proper used of the cleaning
materials for the fist time in my life I’ve tried to use vacuum
cleaner (hehe). That was when they asked us to vacuum the “sofa”
and the foam of chairs. I experienced also listing down the
materials of housekeeping department for laundry purposes and
doing the inventory about stock food on the refrigerator.
A lot of foreigner guest are around the hotel. It’s so

challenging to have a conversation to them in an international
language. Sometimes we laughed at them when we saw stupid things
but being a professional someday, it must be like nothing fro us
and don’t give attention for that matters.
LOTUS GARDEN HOTEL
Kitchen Department
We had swapped from City Garden Suite to Lotus Garden Hotel

and our schedule for this time is for morning shift. At first
day of duty in Kitchen, we felt already the presence of laughter
and enjoyment. Chefs were so naughty and they don’t take the
work seriously. I mean while cooking they tend to be funny so
that everybody is happy and you won’t fell the tiredness. For
us, who are trainees, we’re only capable to be the assistant of
chef. We prepared food and ingredients needed for breakfast. We
stocked ready-to-used food in refrigerator and we even cooked
vegetable which used for garnish. How great it was to be with
funny chefs yet we’ve learned things which we could use in the
future. They shared not only tips in cooking but also its
procedure. If for garnish, we are allowed to make it because
they are just simple to follow and prepare. How many times that
I was assigned to cook for the food of employees The other way
for us to learn also was to take an insight of what the chef is
cooking. I’ve known how to make different types of omelet too.
Quite sometimes we’re washing used plates though it’s not part
of our duty. That was to show our willingness and gratefulness
to work in their establishments.
Food and Beverage Department
For the second time I was assigned in dinning area but now
for the morning shift. Well, too far compared to City Garden
Suite the enjoyment we’ve felt and the learning we had. Not
knowing, during morning, the restaurant is full of guest. You’ll
observed how busy each and everyone among the food attendants
and even the bartenders. Because of undying work to do, this
helps us to use our common sense and initiative towards the
works and the guests. It’s good to the heart you served them
gratefully and in return they will respect you too with
appreciate. They treated us not like a trainee at all. They gave
us the privilege to have our own way of working because as they
can see we are capable f the task unless if the guest has some
concern to settle and only our trainer could solve it. We
welcomed and greeted guest and say thank you to them with a
smile after eating and leaving the restaurant, we are obliged to
greet them and follow them for assistance. As usual, we refill
water goblet to guest or refill food and drinks in the buffet
table.
Just after the breakfast, we fixed again all necessary

materials to be used for lunch. That’s how our work was at the
Bar Station, I tried there using the coffeemaker.
Sales and Marketing Department
Here, I only stayed for one day duty but at least I’ve
known to answer outgoing and incoming calls. We get important
information from the caller. Other work was I encoded important
details that should be input in the computer. I say nothing to
the attitude and behavior of employees because they are as good
as the employee we’ve already met at City Garden Suite.
IBARRA’S GARDEN
Supposed to be we don’t have a duty here but because they

needed trainees we grabbed the opportunity to experience working
there. Just like at the restaurant of the hotel, we managed the
buffet table and we refilled water and juice into the glass of
the guest. Here in Ibarra’s Garden, they are more on catering.
We did the preparation or the set-up of the reception: the
arrangement of tables and chairs, silverwares, glasses, plates,
and the good appearance of the surroundings.
PLAZA IBARRA
As we had our duty here, there was a fear a nervous at

first because we were oriented by the manager at the end. That
day was Regine Tolentino’s birthday. They said Plaza Ibarra is a
place for artist. It’s cool and enjoyable working in cold
station where pastries were what the product there. The chef is
full of naughtiness. As a trainee, we’re only permitted to put
garnishes on it. If the work is done we are helping our co-
trainees in cutting and chopping vegetables and ingredients. We
had prepared food for Regine’s birthday. The moment that the
party has started, we managed the buffet table. We served and
greeted every guest.
RECOMMENDATION
City Garden Suites provides a quality service that a guest

is expecting. Throughout the years of extending satisfaction to
guest, the establishment’s outside structure or appearance is in
need of renovation. The performance of employee should be
monitored from time to time because there are some of them who
are disobedient and this may affect the works of others. The
stocks of linen also must be adequate prepared for the next
users. Perhaps, there is insufficient stock of linen because of
delayed delivering for laundry linen. The management must
promote or conduct activities that will enhance more the
awareness of employees. Both City Garden Suite and Lotus Garden
Hotel are being affected by flood during rainy season so the
management must request in the government or community for the
improvement of drainage system. Dirty water along the road isn’t
safe to the health and can also discouraged guest from getting
there in the place. It’s one also of the caused of traffic and
accidents. The safety and security of guest must not only inside
the establishment but outside too upon entering or leaving. In
Lotus Garden Hotel, there are no enough food attendants that
attend to the guests’ needs. Especially during breakfast, they
do the shortcut way in performing the work just for the sake of
quick task. The management must consider also the at ease
feeling of guest on their car belongings for staying of how many
days in the hotel
CONCLUSION
City Garden Suite and Lotus Garden Hotel is both a suburban

location type hotel since it has no special attraction and is
surrounded with large company, headquarters or manufacturing
site. Both have the entire functional department: Rooms
Division, Food and Beverage, Accounting, Human Resource,
Engineering and Sales and Marketing and catering. Under the
Rooms Division, they have the Front Office which comprises of
front desk and uniform services; the Housekeeping which their
main task are to clean and prepare guest rooms and maintain the
cleanliness of hotel common areas; the reservation which is
responsible to book individual reservation; the night audit team
that reconciles the hotel’s daily financial transaction; lastly,
the Loss Prevention /Security Department which handles all
accidents and guest complaints. Under the Food and Beverage
Department, they have their Kitchen, Restaurant, Lounge/bar and
Room Service. Their target markets are a standard, extended
stay, and all suites. There are rooms which have stove and/or
microwave, dishes and kitchenware but all rooms have a mini-
refrigerator and there is a limited housekeeping service. They
also offer complimentary receptions and breakfasts for all
guests.
Aside from standard room, they have the Junior Suite,

Hospitality Suite which have a connecting room, and a
Presidential Suite with a garden outside. Reservations are made
through Central Reservation System, Direct Travel Agent, or
Direct Guest Contact. There is also a free WIFI Connection,
buffet at set times and transportation in/out on “Paid
Reservation”, the room status reconciliation which includes the
guests rooms’ state of occupancy, state of cleanliness, and
state of exception are being determined through “FIDELIO SYSTEM”
where the Housekeeping Department is using to automatically
shows the room status. They have the guest room make-up and in
every room they have provided for key control system as this to
ensure guest safety by changing the access to a guest room
between guests. Expect for in-room amenities, they provided for
added amenities. They have a value-added service which is the
safe deposit box. It is usually located inside the cabinet of
guest. In Restaurant, they have a 24-hours room service a day.
Their meal has a dress code and there is a happy hour for
employees. They have a function space as one of the revenue
sources.
Employees are well-trained a skilled but not all of them.

They are attentive and put effort for everything that brings
satisfaction and going beyond the expectation of guest. As I
observed, they give time in conducting seminars for employee.
Though they have a variety of duties and responsibilities exist
with in each department, they rely on each other. The ambiance
of hotel is romantic, classy and exotic. Both have an elegant
function rooms available for guest.
Ibarra’s Party Venues and Catering is one of a kind. It is

very suitable to any kind of occasions and gatherings. It has a
very well good surroundings and ambiance. The management are
very much concern of the guest service. They implement
empowerment to employee. They entail knowledge and understanding
which have something to do into a successful service. They
execute a customer service skill and maintain guest is well-
appreciated by the guest. Employees are highly skilled, trained
and disciplined. The operations are well-organized and planned.
The foods are being prepared by blessed chefs who truly are
delicious and great. They have the receiving area which
comprises the paperwork regarding the deals about the events. It
is usually located just before entering the reception area,
convenient enough for the guest to have information from
Ibarra’s Garden.
