I manage the front desk at a full service hotel. I wanted one book to help me better understand the managers in the rest of the hotel and how they and their departments function. This is it. It is very detailed in my own area, and really does a nice job of showing how all the parts in a hotel inter-relate. Lots of reference material, web site references and realisitc case studies, and an easy to read writing style. I looked at two other books on the topic of hotel administration and management.

Hayes is the former Associate Dean of the Conrad Hilton College of Hotel Administration.
