The STAR interview method is utilized. I recommend preparation. For a manager-level position expect to interview with both the reporting director, the HR Director, and possibly the GM. The HR / GM interview was combined for me and had some STAR questions as well as some open-ended standard interview questions. I was given a tour of the hotel.
