Wages vary by the manager's duties and the size of the hotel. Managers who work at large hotel chains generally earn more than those who work at smaller hotels. Some managers earn bonuses of up to 25 percent of their salary.
Hotel and motel managers usually receive benefits. Typical benefits include health insurance, sick leave, and paid vacation. Some hotels pay for formal training programs. Others may give managers a percentage of the hotel's profits. In addition, some hotels provide managers with lodging, meals, parking, and laundry.
