Hotel help desk

Guest services is a department or function at hotels, resorts, airports, and similar establishments that assists visitors with requests, problems, and information.

The term covers everything from arranging transportation to handling complaints: Call guest services if you need extra towels.

In job titles, it often replaces the older "concierge" or "front desk."
