Bellgirls Enter Hotel Service Redefined at Quality Inn
In San Francisco and Los Angeles area Quality Inns new bellgirls from ages 19 to 25 handle luggage to reduce guest stress. Kathy O Mara formerly a Bay Area school bus driver and Pat Kirk from Louisville say the role fits beyond traditional bellpersons as guests respond humorously and positively to being shown to rooms by bellgirls. The innovation invites comparisons to gender roles and women’s lib debates while reshaping hotel service dynamics.
