Employee Showcase

Hospitality has to be in your blood to be a success in the hotel business, and Lucy Demers has got it!

Lucy has been in the hospitality/hotel business for over a decade, spending a majority of that time with our Fairfield Inn Plymouth-Middleboro. As a life long resident of the town of Middleboro, Lucy is also our resident expert on everything guests (and employees) need to know about the area. Whether it is an attraction, local company, hidden jewel, our back road Lucy will get you there.

Jiten Hotel Management recognized the star power in Lucy when taking over the Fairfield Inn from its previous management company in 2007. She was the one we couldn’t let get away. In addition to her role as Guest Service Representative, Lucy has proven to be the ultimate at multi tasking, such tasks as being the cookie baker, commission keeper, housekeeping helper, maintenance mediator, and micro/fridge juggler.

Lucy balances her commitment between her family and her job by working the 2^nd shift full-time.  This allows her to check-in and greet the majority of our guests five days a week, and quite simply, they love her. Lucy is always prepared, confident, friendly, caring, and most important never allows a walk-in to walk out!

Over the years she has built a rapport with many of our most frequent guests which is why they keep coming back. Quite simply, the guests love Lucy…and we do too!

When asked why she likes working at the Fairfield Inn, Lucy said it is because of the awesome team she works with, and the wonderful guests. Her motto is the Golden Rule, “treat people the way you would want to be treated”….and she proves that it works!
