Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need prior housekeeping experience to apply?
Not necessarily. InnVest Hotels regularly hires Housekeeping Attendants without prior hotel experience. Training is provided on cleaning standards, supply carts, and safety procedures, so a strong work ethic and attention to detail matter more than a resume line.
What does a typical shift look like?
Most housekeeping shifts run during the day, since rooms need to be cleaned and turned over between check-out and check-in. Weekend and holiday coverage is common, and the exact schedule depends on the property’s occupancy.
How much does a Housekeeping Attendant earn at InnVest?
Pay generally falls between $17.50 and $19.60 per hour, depending on the province, the specific hotel, and experience level.
Is the job physically demanding?
Yes. Attendants should expect to lift, carry, push, and pull items up to roughly 25–50 pounds, and to stand, walk, and bend for most of the shift while moving between rooms.
Can this role lead to a supervisory position?
Yes. InnVest promotes internally where possible, and Housekeeping Attendants who perform consistently well are often considered for Housekeeping Supervisor or Executive Housekeeper roles over time.
