Implication: Handling of room linen needs to be improved to get optimal results and it is necessary to increase the number of linens so that hotel operations can run more effectively and efficiently and do not force linen that is no longer suitable for use to be reused.   Keywords: linen, par stock, CHSE, hotel.
