General Manager, Hotel Reviews
What is it like working as a General Manager, Hotel?
February 2025
The GM Grind & Remington Hospitality.
General Manager, Hotel in Minneapolis:
Pros: Autonomy
Cons: The grind. Limited resources. Remington is owned by the hotel owner and takes direction from the hotel owner in terms of how they manage - generally not an independent company, although they may tell you otherwise. Owner is struggling coming out of COVID and is making decisions that might be short sighted. Staffing levels are tough - often requiring GMs who care to work long hours (12+ hours per day is not unusual) and 6 to 7 days per week. 70+ hour work weeks are not uncommon at Remington.

A day in the life of a GM.
General Manager, Hotel in Gulfport:
Pros: I enjoy meeting and interacting with people from all walks of life. I enjoy making people happy and going the extra mile to see them feel appreciated and welcome. I also enjoy my employees, they make the workplace better and everyone works together so well and stays on task.
