A Guest Service Representative (GSR) is the Wickaninnish Inn’s version of a Front Desk Agent, and then some.

The position offers a great deal of flexibility to "think outside of the box" and positively impact guests’ experience. A GSR often has the opportunity to speak with a guest on the phone, make their reservation arrangements, and be the one to greet and check them in upon arrival and bring them to their room to get them settled in!
