Airport hotels near Portland stay busy through winter travel and the spring season, and Drapers Hospitality Management Inc has an ACTIVE H-2B job order on SeasonalJobs.dol.gov for 25 Housekeepers at the Home2 Suites by Hilton (Portland Airport) worksite in South Portland, Maine. The listed pay is $19.35 per hour (overtime $29.03 when required), 3 months of experience is required, and the season runs from 15 December 2026 to 30 June 2027.
This is one of the sooner H-2B start dates still open, so employers usually move faster on interviews than on mid-winter landscaping orders.

What the Work Involves
According to the DOL listing, housekeepers will:
- Clean guest rooms for the next clients
- Keep rooms in perfect appearance
- Empty wastebaskets
- Carry linens, towels, toilet items and cleaning supplies on wheeled carts
- Dust and polish furniture
Weekend, holiday and late-evening work may be required, and workers must be able to pick up shifts on same-day notice when needed.
Requirements
- At least 3 months of housekeeping or similar cleaning experience
- Willing to work weekends, holidays and late evenings when necessary
- Able to take same-day shift changes when asked
- Available for the full season from mid-December 2026 through June 2027

Maine winters are cold and snowy around the Portland airport area, so plan for winter clothing even though the work itself is indoors.
Is This Free Visa Sponsorship?
Yes, under the H-2B rules. The H-2B regulations (20 CFR 655.20) require the employer to pay or reimburse visa and visa processing fees in the first workweek, and they ban recruitment fees charged to workers. Inbound travel and daily subsistence costs are reimbursed after you complete half of the season, and return travel is paid if you finish the contract or are dismissed early.
The StateTally summary of the DOL data marks this order as offering lodging. The public DOL page summary does not spell out rent, so ask the employer for written housing details before you accept.
How to Apply
- Step 1: Read the official listing and job order: https://seasonaljobs.dol.gov/jobs/H-400-26264-248007
- Step 2: Email the employer using the DOL contact: drapershospitality@hotmail.com
- Step 3: Or call +1 646 220 4477
- Step 4: Send a short English email with your name, country, phone or WhatsApp number, hotel or housekeeping experience (at least 3 months), and confirm you can work from 15 December 2026 to 30 June 2027
Tips to Stand Out
- List hotel, motel or short-let cleaning work with dates and room counts if you can.
- Say you can work weekends and same-day shifts, because the listing stresses flexibility.
- Apply immediately. A 15 December 2026 start leaves little time for visa processing.
- Ask about housing and airport transport in your first email so there are no surprises.
Scam Warning
Never pay an agent to "secure" this job or an H-2B visa. Recruitment fees are illegal under H-2B rules. Use only the email and phone number on the official DOL page, and ignore lookalike Hotmail or Gmail addresses.
