inglés term
housekeeper / room cleaner
I have used various terms, such as "recamareras" or "trabajadores de limpieza de cuartos," but am looking for input from colleagues on the most appropriate single term that I can use consistently. Is "recamarera" appropriate?
Most of the housekeepers referred to in this union literature are Mexican and Central American women, plus a few Mexican and Central American men.
Thank you for your input!

If you were dealing with a whole house, then the term would be "trabajdoras domésticas".
But, as you narrow the kind of work just to hotels, "recamarera" is OK. Widely used from Baja California to Quintana Roo.

: Camarera, no había escuchado recamarera, al parecer es un regionalismo

Yo tampoco. En España, al menos, siempre es camarero/a. Muchas gracias, Jairo :)
