"I mean, when I worked night audit, the whole night is practically a break after like 1am. It was usually just me and one other guy running the place (the other guy is just cleaning and doesn’t know how to do front desk). We don’t get an actual “lunch break” where we have to clock out for 30 minutes because we can’t leave the desk completely unoccupied (unless you were going to the bathroom or tension to a guest away from the desk or something). And we just ate at our desks if we were hungry, not sitting in the back."

"I mean, it depends on the size of the hotel. Having one person on night shift for a Fairfield isn’t uncommon. The better hotels have more people working at front desk even at night simply due to the size and brand. I’d however say though, if the property has been notified of the guest’s check in time in advance, and part of deal of getting into night shift is to check people in at unusual hours like that, then it certainly does not sound right to me that the front desk agent cannot have the meal earlier or later out of that many hours of the shift."
