Start from the business hotel guest floor model (free sign-up; running a simulation is Pro). Between check-out and check-in, every room must be made ready for the next guest. In this article, in the members’ business hotel guest floor model, your AI simulates a day of housekeeping. It ran the same tools an AI calls over MCP. Every figure and number below comes from that run.
1. The guest floor and the cleaning
- A guest floor of 12 rooms, six on each side of the central corridor.
check_spacefinds nothing.
The AI wrote this flow as a scenario (put_process_scenario).
- The housekeepers start at 9:00 from the west stair hall, where the linen and the cart are kept. The next guests check in from 15:00.
- 30 % of the 12 rooms have guests staying another night; their rooms are tidied once cleaning starts (8 to 15 minutes, most often 10).
- The other rooms check out between 9:00 and 10:00 (most often 9:30) and are cleaned for the next guest as they are vacated (25 minutes a room on average, from three quarters to one and a half times that). Late check-outs vacate at 12:00.
- The nearest free housekeeper goes to each room as it is ready, and on from there to the next.
- Every number and time is an assumption. Put in your own hotel’s records.
2. The housekeepers and late check-outs
The AI changed the housekeepers (1, 2) and the share of late check-outs (none, a quarter, half) (sweep_process_parameters), 20 runs each. A room takes 25 minutes on average. “Until a housekeeper comes” is the mean time from a room being ready to be cleaned to a housekeeper reaching it.
| Late check-outs | Housekeepers | Until a housekeeper comes | All 12 rooms ready |
|---|---|---|---|
| None | 1 | 80.1 min | 13:17 |
| None | 2 | 25.6 min | 11:15 |
| A quarter | 1 | 44.9 min | 13:31 |
| A quarter | 2 | 12.1 min | 12:48 |
| Half | 1 | 47.8 min | 14:23 |
| Half | 2 | 16.9 min | 13:19 |
- Even with one housekeeper, all 12 rooms are ready at 13:17. With two, at 11:15.
- When half the rooms check out late, one housekeeper finishes at 14:23 and two at 13:19: with many rooms vacated at 12:00, even two finish later.
3. The time to clean a room
With one housekeeper, the AI changed the mean time to clean a room (25, 30, 35 minutes) and the share of late check-outs.
| Cleaning a room | Late check-outs | Until a housekeeper comes | All 12 rooms ready |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 min | None | 80.1 min | 13:17 |
| 25 min | A quarter | 44.9 min | 13:31 |
| 25 min | Half | 47.8 min | 14:23 |
| 30 min | None | 93.9 min | 13:59 |
| 30 min | A quarter | 55.8 min | 14:06 |
| 30 min | Half | 56.8 min | 14:55 |
| 35 min | None | 107.6 min | 14:42 |
| 35 min | A quarter | 68.1 min | 14:45 |
| 35 min | Half | 67.0 min | 15:31 |
- At 30 minutes a room the floor is ready at 13:59, at 35 minutes at 14:42.
- At 35 minutes a room with half checking out late, it is 15:31: too late for the 15:00 check-in.
4. How to use this check
- Draw your own hotel’s guest floor (from a PDF of the drawings or photos too), and tell your AI each room’s check-out time, the shares of stay-overs and late check-outs, how long a room takes and the housekeepers. Your AI also puts a moved linen room or cart store on the drawing and checks it.
- Not checked: housekeepers covering several floors and the lifts between them, inspection, bringing up the linen, breaks, and early check-ins.
