“There’s something so special about the entire Kona Kai San Diego Housekeeping Team that embodies our core values’ heart. It’s more than just pride in their work—they pour love into everything they do. Their passion is palpable, and it’s inspiring to see it flourish, especially in a Union property where every step we take is part of a bigger journey. Navigating this path together feels like an adventure that’s absolutely worth it. Core Value 1: Being rooted in Family sets the tone for how we uplift one another. We never forget that we’re professionals creating a “Home Away from Home.” Core Value 3: Come As You Are is vital to our team, as it empowers us to be authentic while always respecting the balance within the organization. Core Value 6, Make Things Better, drives us to improve constantly—not just for our guests, but for each other, like family.

From Steve Worley at Omni Grove Park Inn
Our photo represents a varied and wide range of great individuals. Our housekeeping department strongly considers us to be Number One!! We have folks from El Salvador, Honduras, Panamá, México, Ukraine, Puerto Rico, Haiti, and across the United States working in our department. They are all strong and determined and love offering our guests the best memories possible. From our House Attendants to our PM Lobby Attendants, we have associates working at The Grove Park Inn for over 35 years. One of our House Attendants told me the other day that he started here when he was 29 years old. He has enjoyed all the benefits of working in the hospitality industry because of working at Grove Park. Following the All-In motto and Growing our Garden from within, our department has a management team that has grown from our GRAs, CARE and Turndown. I started working at Grove Park in 2002 as a Deep Clean Attendant. Our Director of Rooms started as an agent for our front desk. We all share the strength of the Power of Engagement and our Core Values. The Culture set by Omni is very easy for our department to apply since each one of our folks feels it comes to them naturally.”
From Michael Soriano at The Huntington Langham, Pasadena
“Blanca Nieblas is the consummate Housekeeper! Efren Garcia is our VIP in Special Projects or anything that needs to be done!

Efren prepares our VIPs through all special projects to make the room smell fresh and shine!”

Our supervisors and inspectors paved the way for success by guiding employees through busy periods and offering support, including discussing their day. I truly appreciate their unwavering effort and know that our ability to deliver the highest quality service is directly tied to their commitment and hard work.
