With six amazing finalists to choose from, selecting a winner and a runner up for the Mitre Linen Room Attendant of the Year Award 2018 was always going to be challenging.

“Tad and Anna impressed me with their overall dedication to their profession and their continuous strive to achieve perfection for their guests,” said Lewis.

It’s really important to me that our guests have a fantastic experience when they stay here and I like to ensure that the rooms are perfect.  If I can offer something a little extra to make their stay even better, then that’s what I will do.”
