I went in for the front desk agent job even though I wanted a night auditor job. I had no experience but the hotel was brand new and they were training from the ground up, so I got offered the night audit job. There was one face to face interview, then a follow up phone call and finally a final face to face in which they offered me the job. It probably took a week or two total. My process was a little different than normal simply because it was for a new build.

Very casual, sat at a table, went over resume, why I would be good for the job, etc. I spoke with two hotel managers. Normally after this initial interview, a White Lodging recruiter or HR person will also interview, but I did not have to go through this second step. Because a hospitality job is essentially all about communicating verbally and nonverbally with guests, the interview is basically a test of how well you present yourself, speak to others, listen, etc.
