SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash., May 1, 2019 (Newswire.com) - Stay Alfred, the hospitality startup that pioneered the travel apartment concept in the alternative accommodation space, announced today the opening of up to 30 entry-level positions at their corporate call center. Founded in 2011, the company has hosted more than 700,000 guests across the nation, and 2019 is projected to be the busiest year yet.
