24/7 Call Answering for hotels
Never miss a guest call or reservation request. Our AI receptionist handles guest calls professionally and manages inquiries instantly.
Why hotels are switching to AI answering agents
Running a hotel means fielding calls around the clock. Guests call at 3 AM asking about check-in times. Potential guests call during checkout rush wanting to book a room. Wedding planners call during your busiest check-in Saturday. The calls that fill your rooms come when your front desk is already overwhelmed.
The staffing math doesn't work for most properties. A dedicated reservations agent costs $35,000-50,000 per year plus benefits. Outsourced call centers charge per minute and can't answer specific questions about your property. Neither option handles the 2 AM calls about pool hours or the Sunday morning group booking request.
AI answering agents do what your front desk can't while they're helping guests in person. When someone calls about room rates, the AI checks your availability, explains amenities, and books the reservation directly. The caller gets helped immediately instead of waiting on hold while your staff helps the guest at the desk.
For guests, response time shapes their entire impression. Someone planning a trip calls three hotels. Two go to voicemail or put them on hold. One answers immediately, answers their questions about parking and amenities, and books their room in two minutes. That's who gets the reservation.
Hotel managers report the biggest impact after hours and during peak times. A group booking inquiry at 10 PM, a corporate travel request on Sunday, a guest calling about late check-out while your staff handles breakfast rush. These calls were going unanswered before. Now they're turning into confirmed bookings.
This isn't about replacing your hospitality touch. The AI handles routine inquiries and reservations so your front desk staff can focus on the guests standing in front of them. You maintain the personal service that earns reviews while never missing a call.
Hotels miss nearly half of incoming calls during peak check-in and check-out times.
Every missed reservation call costs you the average nightly rate plus potential repeat business.
One-third of reservation calls come outside business hours when front desk is understaffed.
