Suggested Characteristics

Innkeepers live or die on their hospitality. The only way they could keep a successful business afloat without people skills is if they were the only dry roof for miles, and even then the business would not exactly be flourishing. You are likely adept at conversation and assessing the truth of what people say. This may be a true core part of your personality as a people person, or it could be a practiced mask of professionalism.
