bellboy
Hotel bag handler
A bellboy is a hotel employee who carries guests' luggage, escorts them to their rooms, and runs errands.
The term reflects an era when such workers were often young men summoned by ringing a bell at the front desk.
Also called a bellhop.
The bellboy brought our bags up and showed us how to work the thermostat.
