"Actually, the correct answer is Yes, it is possible to work at a hotel and live there. From Feb 2011 to May 2012 I did just that at the small 2 star motel I worked at. No, I was not a management and yes I paid rent monthly. For those who might think it's different now, no it isn't. At the Best Western I've been at since last October, the general manager & family lives on site."
