The first hotel employees who come into contact with most guests when they arrive are members of the front office. These people are mostly visible and assumed mostly knowledgeable about the hotel. Guests, often in an unfamiliar situations of the hotel, want to know each and every details. It is the responsibility of the front desk agent to be knowledgeable about his hotel and surrounding areas as well to answer properly.
