Columbia Hospitality Claimed Company
OUR ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
IS ALIVE AND WELL
We'll try just about anything once. This entrepreneurial spirit is how Columbia Hospitality got its start. As a trusted partner of the Port of Seattle, having planned and executed many events for them, they asked Columbia CEO and Founder, John Oppenheimer, if he knew anyone who would be a good operator for the soon-to-be-built Bell Harbor International Conference Center. Having no management experience, naturally, John said, “Yes, US!” When asked why, his response was, “Because we’ve never done it before, but no one knows what your clients want better than us!”
We got the job, and we still have that job decades later.

The housing situation is terrible, our general manager just doesnt care, the way columbia just wants to invest in us and the property is just obsurd, theres no hospitality here at all. Columbia promised they wouldnt change anything about this property but they didnt. Theres alot of lying.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
My team members are probably the most positive
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
I feel like im not as valued as an employee than i really should be.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
I dont have one. I dont get health, dental, or vision as a full time seasonal employee. I believe it should be included
What are some of the best things about your team?
I love only the team members who are motivated and work their butts off. Im so passionate about what i do as a housekeeper that if i see anyone slacking off, I resent them in a way.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
I think Columbia Hospitality should change their name to Columbia Investment. Because with all the employees i work with loved the way our small town family business was in the first place before Columbia i dont think that Columbia should even be a hospitality buisness it should be an investmentonly
