CAREERS
Courtyard by Marriott Housekeeping Staff
We believe in enriching the lives of others through hospitality. Our team members are our family just as much as our parents and siblings because most of us spend more time with our work family than our birth families. Your hotel should be a place of refuge where you know that your team has your back.
If you are interested in joining our team, these are our promise to you:
1) You will feel seen and heard
2) If you want to advance your career in hospitality, you can apply to our management apprenticeship program where you can rise as high as your skills allow.

"I began my journey with Oliver Hotels & Resorts right after high school with one very important goal: earning enough money to take my high school sweetheart to prom. My aunt encouraged me to apply for a Houseman position at the Country Inn & Suites, and I was hired the same day. I was honest with the Housekeeping Manager and told her I only planned to stay for one pay period — but promised that while I was there, no one would work harder than me.
Two weeks later, I collected my first paycheck, enjoyed an unforgettable prom night, and thought my hospitality career story had come to an end. But the following Monday, I received a call asking me to come back as a Room Inspector. Apparently, my work ethic and bilingual skills had made a lasting impression.
What started as a short-term prom fundraiser quickly became a career. I was promoted to Housekeeping Supervisor, then Executive Housekeeping Manager, and later Assistant General Manager. After four successful years as AGM, I was promoted to General Manager.
Today, I’m proud to serve as General Manager of the Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Port Canaveral. What began as a two-week job to pay for prom turned into a lifelong career — proof that hard work, honesty, and a little prom motivation can take you a long way"

"Working for Oliver Hotels & Resorts feels like being part of a family that genuinely believes we are stronger together. The culture encourages growth, learning, collaboration, and peer recognition, creating an environment where people are supported and celebrated.
What I appreciate most is that work-life balance is not only possible, it's encouraged. Oliver Hotels & Resorts supports my involvement with organizations like the Boys & Girls Clubs, the University of Minnesota Duluth Alumni Association, and other community initiatives. The company's values align naturally with my passion for serving others, making it easy to grow both professionally and personally.
Oliver Hotels & Resorts invests in its people, its communities, and the belief that when one of us succeeds, we all succeed."

"I started with Oliver Hotels & Resorts in February 2013 at the Country Inn & Suites in Cape Canaveral, Florida, shortly after moving from Illinois. I began at the front desk, later became Front Desk Supervisor, and consistently ranked among the top loyalty program enrollers for the brand.
As my skills grew, I moved into sales, first as Sales Manager and later as Director of Sales, while also attending school full time. In 2018, I earned my bachelor’s degree in Hospitality Management from the University of Central Florida’s Rosen College of Hospitality Management.
In 2019, after serving briefly as interim General Manager, I moved back to Illinois and continued with Oliver Hotels & Resorts as a remote task force manager. Soon after, I helped launch the company’s Revenue Management Team with Ron Zellers. Today, I serve as a Revenue Manager, and I have proudly been with Oliver Hotels & Resorts for over 13 years.
What has kept me loyal to Oliver Hotels & Resorts is the company’s integrity, family atmosphere, strong culture, and the leaders and teammates who have invested in my growth. I’m grateful for my journey and excited to continue growing in hospitality."

"Joining Oliver Companies was a pivotal moment in my career. I came on board as the Assistant General Manager at the Embassy Suites Minneapolis North, looking for a way to transition back into full-service hotels after previously serving as a Hampton Inn General Manager for another company. Oliver Companies recognized my dedication and capabilities immediately. Within six months, I stepped into the Interim General Manager role, and just three months later, I was officially promoted to General Manager.
As the company expanded and created an opening for a new Regional Director of Operations, I knew I wanted to be part of that strategic growth. I applied and earned the promotion, a role I have proudly held for the last three and a half years. Oliver Companies doesn’t just offer jobs; they invest in pathways for long-term career progression and true leadership development."

"In April 2007, I interviewed for the Sales Manager position at the under-construction Hampton Inn & Suites in Lino Lakes. At the time, I don't recall exactly how many properties Oliver Hotels & Resorts owned, but I recall for my second interview, Erin the GM at the time and Seth Oliver took me out to dinner. I left with a great feeling about the company and knew it was somewhere I wanted to build my career.
I was hired in May 2007, and when the hotel opened in August 2007, I proudly became part of the opening team as the Sales Manager. I remained in that role until 2020, building lasting relationships with clients, coworkers, and the Oliver Hotels & Resorts family.
In 2024, after being away from the hotel for four years, I received a text message from the hotel's General Manager letting me know that the Sales Manager position was available again and encouraging me to apply. During those four years, a lot had changed in my personal life, and Oliver Hotels & Resorts had also experienced many changes.
When I interviewed with Therese and JJ, I was open about my life circumstances. Their compassion, understanding, and willingness to work with me meant more than I can express. They welcomed me back with open arms and made me feel like I was coming home.
Today, I am grateful to be back in the Oliver Hotels & Resorts Sales Department. Between my original years with the company and my return, I have now spent a total of 15 years with Oliver Hotels & Resorts. I look forward to continuing to contribute to Oliver Hotels & Resorts success and being part of its future growth for years to come."

"I began my career with the company in 2009 as a Staff Accountant, and over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to grow both professionally and personally through several roles, including Director of Contracts, Director of Due Diligence, and most recently, Corporate Secretary and Executive Assistant in 2022.
One of the things I value most about this organization is its commitment to its employees. Throughout my tenure, the company has consistently supported my career advancement, trusted me with increasing responsibilities, and recognized my contributions along the way.
Equally important has been the flexibility I’ve been given to balance my professional responsibilities with my family life. That support has made a meaningful difference and is a true reflection of the company’s culture and values.
During the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, I was especially proud to be part of an organization that prioritized its people and worked hard to retain employees during an uncertain time. That commitment reinforced my confidence in the company and its leadership.
I’m grateful to have built my career here and to be part of a team that genuinely cares about its employees and their success."

"My name is Bobbie Donovan, and I am the Assistant General Manager of both Homewood Suites and Hampton Inn & Suites in Chandler, Arizona.
My journey with the company began 10 years ago when I moved from Ohio to Arizona and was given the opportunity to start as a Night Auditor for both hotels. Through hard work, dedication, and the support of great leaders like JP and Anthony, I grew into roles including Front Desk Supervisor, Front Office Manager, and now Assistant General Manager of Homewood Suites.
I am especially proud to be celebrating my 10-year anniversary with a company that has given me so many opportunities to grow. I’m grateful to work alongside such dedicated team members, many of whom have been part of these hotels for years and have helped make them feel like family.
Looking back, I know my journey is because of the people who believed in me, challenged me, and supported me along the way. I’m proud of what we have built together and truly grateful to be part of this company."

"I have had the privilege of working at the Courtyard by Marriott in Bristol for over nine years, giving me the opportunity to experience growth under both previous and current ownership. Since Oliver Hotels & Resorts became our ownership and management company, I have been especially impressed by their supportive and accessible leadership approach.
Oliver Hotels & Resorts fosters an environment where communication is encouraged at every level. I have always felt comfortable reaching out to senior leaders—including ownership—knowing that my questions, ideas, and needs will be met with genuine support and responsiveness. This level of accessibility has made a significant difference in my professional experience.
Throughout my time with Oliver Hotels & Resorts, I have been given the opportunity to grow and develop within my role. Their leadership team has recognized my potential and provided the encouragement and resources needed to help me advance. It is clear that Oliver Hotels & Resorts is truly invested in the success of its team members.
One of the most impactful aspects of working with Oliver Hotels & Resorts is their strong emphasis on collaboration. Our sales team works cohesively, consistently sharing leads, insights, and best practices to ensure collective success. This team-oriented culture not only drives results but also creates a positive and motivating work environment.
I am grateful to be part of an organization that values its people and promotes both personal and professional growth. My experience with Oliver Hotels & Resorts has been incredibly rewarding, and I look forward to continuing my journey with the company for many years to come."
