What is your most memorable AmishView guest moment or interaction?

“A few summers ago, on a hot and super humid August morning, I was assisting our breakfast team with cleaning tables and delivering dirty dishes to the kitchen. It was a very busy day and I was hustling. A frequent guest of ours greeted me and we took a few minutes to connect. As we were parting ways, she opened her arms to give me a hug. Thanks to the high humidity, I was not presenting the façade of a serene and orderly general manager. Instead, rivulets of sweat were running down my temples. I was hot and sticky and my curls were becoming wild. I protested that I was not in an ideal condition for a hug. She waived my protests aside and gave me a hug saying that it was just so nice to see me and added compliments about the team. The gracious love from that action and the accompanying comments filled my heart and renewed my energy.”

“I was a Studio Art major in college, little realizing how much hospitality was a natural fit for me. I suspect my parents were not surprised by my realization in the years following graduation. Working at AmishView was my first non-art related job and the first time working at a hotel.”

“My absolute favorite thing to do is to go fishing with my dad! He lives in the Florida Keys so we take the boat out and like to find different fishing spots in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. It’s a special feeling to be out in the middle of the ocean – just me and my dad – catching all kinds of different fish.”

“I believe the smallest thing can make a big difference. On one occasion I had a guest who brought along a personal item. This guest needed that item to assist them during their visit. The guest noticed that the item was broken. I assisted the guest in fixing the item and the guest appreciated my effort and thanked me. Several weeks later that guest took the time to write me a lovely personal thank you note for my efforts and the expression of gratitude meant the world to me.”
