How it's used
Refers specifically to the person managing or working the front desk of a short stay hotel, often called a 鐘點房. It carries a slightly shady or informal connotation due to the nature of these establishments. You will rarely hear this used in a professional or polite context.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 鐘房 as a room for clocks or a bell tower, which is a literal interpretation that does not apply in Hong Kong street slang. The term is strictly used to refer to the person in charge of such a venue.
