Testimony of Juanita Almonte, Technical Manager, Novotel New York, USA.
"I have been working for ACCOR for almost 6 years. I began working for both Sofitel and Novotel New York hotels in 2004 as Engineering Assistant. I was dividing my time between the two hotels and it was a very rewarding experience. In 2008 I was promoted as Engineering Manager for Novotel Hotel. I am very proud to say I have been part of the Novotel renovations. I have seen guest areas, including guest rooms and also the back of the house, under go great transformations. I enjoy being part of a department which is constantly working on ways to improve and maintain the building."
