I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Hampton Inn by Hilton (Morehead City, NC) in Feb 2014
Interview
After submitting my resume and cover letter I was contacted by the assistant manager to set up an interview, and after that I was asked to return the next week for a second interview with the general manager. First interview scheduled was to go over General information and job description, second interview with both Gm and Agm present went into details and qualifications. Later in my career I interviewed for a promotional and it was not a positive experience. I didn't quite feel I was taken seriously.

The interview went great and I got introduced to the GM and he was really nice. The lady that interviewed me seemed as if it was a really good job to work for.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Hampton Inn by Hilton (Murfreesboro, TN) in Jun 2016
Interview
Don't be too obnoxious in asking to speak to a manager. They will get annoyed if you're pushy.
Just walk in, ask for an application, drop if off during a weekday morning and ask to introduce yourself. Don't keep asking.
I applied through other source. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Hampton Inn by Hilton (Boise, ID) in May 2016
Interview
Quick response, pleasant interview, great leaders who knew what they were looking for. They wanted to be sure I was okay with all night shifts. Then we also discussed pay in detail. I was previously making 10.25 for audit shifts at a lesser quality hotel and made it clear if they wanted me, they'd have to pay me at least 10.75/hr. I was supporting two people at the time on one income, so I needed the pay raise, and I wasn't going to leave what was a sure steady position if they weren't going to make it worth the stress of switching jobs. They gave me what I asked and called me back later the same day to offer me the position. Hiring paperwork the next day, and then I started the next night.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you okay working only night shifts? Most people don't want to work this shift, and it can be hard to do full time.
