bellhop
Hotel bag handler
A bellhop is a hotel employee who carries luggage, escorts guests to rooms, and handles small errands.
The term combines bell (from the front desk bell used to summon them) and hop (suggesting quick movement).
The bellhop brought our bags up and showed us how to work the thermostat.
Also called a bellboy.
