Meanings
plural roomkeepers
- A person employed by a hotel or similar establishment to clean, maintain and restock the rooms.

1997, The Rooms Chronicle, volumes 5-9, page 701 more example
While the vast majority of guests are polite, pleasant, and appreciative of the importance of the roomkeeper's work, there are others, on occasion, who are silly, rude, overbearing, intoxicated, menacing, or annoying.
1974, Bruce H. Axler, Room Care for Hotels and Motels, page 55
