Night Auditor - Hotel San Jose

Hotel San Jose

The Opportunity:

Hotel San Jose is looking for a Night Auditor to join the team. A Night Auditor will deliver the same guest experience during overnight hours as the Front Desk agents deliver during daytime hours. In addition, the Night Auditor will perform accounting and front office related tasks that require a great deal of attention to detail. This person must be able to generate flawless accounting reports within Property Management Software and complete a night audit in compliance with property standards.

The person in this position must have good communication skills, the ability to resolve conflict and a thorough understanding of property policies, procedures and expectations. Night Auditors must develop and maintain the company’s culture, values and reputation in the public eye, and with all team members, guests, vendors and partners.

Who We Are:

Hotel San José is a 40-room urban bungalow-style hotel tucked behind stucco walls and set amidst lush garden courtyards on South Congress. Now a gathering place and hub of community activity for locals and visitors alike, our legacy began long before now, in the 1930s, when the San José was a vibrant motor court on South Congress Avenue. But as Austin changed, the motel fell into disrepair. Thankfully, in 1994, the keen eye of Liz Lambert saw something more than low-rent lodging while spending time across the street at the Continental Club. After a long road, the way was found to our modern iteration of a hidden oasis right in the heart of South Congress.
