Best Western housekeeper in California wins
$5,000 cash prize
Cintas Corporation (Nasdaq: CTAS) today announced the
grand-prize winner and runners-up of the 2021 Cintas S.H.I.N.E.
(Star Housekeepers In a New Era) Award.
The grand-prize winner, Miriam Rodriguez Alvarez, a housekeeper
at Best Western Plus Villa Del Lago Inn in Patterson, Calif., won
the $5,000 cash prize and her property will receive a comprehensive
product, training and consultation package from Cintas and its
business partners.
“We received inspiring nominations about hardworking
housekeepers from hotels across the country, many of whom were the
only ones available to clean for much of the pandemic due to
furloughs and layoffs,” said Nicole Beall, Cintas Senior Director –
Hospitality & Gaming Enterprise. “These employees not only rose
to the challenge of maintaining new standards of cleanliness, but
did so with smiles on their faces and ongoing enthusiasm for their
important jobs.”
According to her manager, Miriam “has changed the housekeeping
department for the better.” In her nomination, her hotel’s
management also noted that Miriam strives for perfection in
cleanliness, and although she is deaf, she does not allow it to be
an obstacle. She always has a positive attitude and frequently goes
the extra mile to communicate with, and show appreciation for,
hotel guests. They noted that she helps lift employee morale and
has been instrumental in upholding cleanliness for the property
during the pandemic.
The Best Western Plus Villa Del Lago Inn will also receive:
- $2,500 in cleaning and hygiene products and services from
