Understanding of Procedures: The Hotel at Oberlin Services

The Hotel at Oberlin is a retail facility that provides accommodations and conferences services to the public and also rents office and classroom space to the college. The hotel is owned by the college, but it is independently managed and the operation of the facility is distinctly separate from the college. 

Anyone in the campus community utilizing the hotel’s service for institutional business should view transactions with the hotel the same as any third-party vendor. To streamline the processing of services provided by the hotel, we are providing the following outline of procedures:
