✍️ Sample CHP Questions & Answers

1. When a housekeeper encounters a 'Do Not Disturb' (DND) sign on a guest room for over 24 hours, what is the standard protocol?
Notify the supervisor or front desk so a welfare check can be arranged

Extended DND periods require escalation to management to perform a wellness check per security and guest safety protocols.

2. During a public area inspection, a supervisor finds a wet floor sign placed but the floor is already dry. What should the supervisor do?
Remove the sign immediately to prevent guest confusion

Wet floor signs left after the hazard is resolved create confusion and may lead guests to distrust signage during actual hazards.

3. How many sets of towels are typically placed in a standard double-occupancy hotel guest room?
It varies by hotel policy but is generally based on the number of registered guests

Towel placement is governed by individual hotel policy but standard practice bases the number of towels on the number of registered guests in the room.

4. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires housekeeping staff to ensure that accessible guest rooms have:
Clear floor paths and accessible furniture arrangement maintained

ADA compliance requires housekeepers to maintain clear floor paths and not obstruct accessible features such as grab bars or roll-in shower space.

5. A hotel implementing an 'opt-in' towel replacement policy (towels changed only upon guest request) can expect to reduce laundry-related water usage by approximately:
17–30%

Industry studies show that effective towel and linen reuse programs typically reduce laundry water consumption by 17–30% depending on guest participation rates.

6. What is the best use of benchmarking in housekeeping financial management?
Comparing your department's KPIs against industry standards or peer properties

Benchmarking lets managers identify whether their cost per occupied room, labor productivity, or supply usage is competitive relative to similar properties.
