    Get a name - even if you have to call up there and track down through the receptionist who the hiring manager is - GET THE NAME

    If anything it shows that you made a real effort and you're very serious about the job

    take a few minutes and call each hotel your going to. Ask the name of the Manager. Then address each letter individually to the person. It will take a little bit longer, but make a MUCH better impression. Good Luck

    Write "C/O: Human Resources" on it.

    ("C/O" means "Care Of". )

    (("Human Resources" This is the listed person that will be authorized to take possession of the resume.))

    Something like "To whom it may concern" or "Director of Human Resources" or "Dear Sir" or something like that.

    Sir/Madam

    NEVER "To whom it may concern"

    You could always call the company to find out who to address it to.
