There’s no shortage of complaints about hotel stays these days, and one reason why is pretty clear: Many hotels are still severely understaffed.
In 2018, U.S. hotels directly employed more than 2.3 million people, according to an Oxford Economics study funded by the American Hotel & Lodging Association Educational Foundation. But the AHLA forecasts that hotels will end 2022 with just 1.97 million employees, which is 84% of pre-pandemic levels.
You might chalk up the reduced quality of hotel amenities to reduced hours, facilities that haven’t been cleaned, or a cutback in staff-heavy offerings like kids clubs and pool parties. Many major brands, including Hilton, Hyatt and Marriott, allow you to use your phone as a digital key at most properties. Hyatt’s digital keys work on Apple Watch, too. Hilton lets you choose the exact room you want, up to 24 hours in advance of check-in.
