My interview experience at Hotel del Coronado was great, went smoothly, and felt welcoming. When I got there, the team made me feel wanted and appreciated. We had a good conversation, and it felt more like talking about shared hospitality values than a stiff interview. Everyone seemed really interested in me as a person, not just my resume, which made me feel respected and like I belonged. It was professional and personal.
