How does working a hotel work?

I am looking for a new job and my first way of doing this is searching through craigslist for potential job posters. Anyway, there are quite a few jobs at hotels that offer a room in which to stay, and they'll pay you around minimum wage to work there at the same time. So, do you *live* at the hotel while you're working there? Or is it more of a night-to-night thing? If anyone has any experience with this I would greatly appreciate it. Also, for reference, here is a quote from a craigslist ad if I was unclear previously: In exchange for a Hotel room to stay, work 5 hours/ day at the Hotel. Get paid ($8.00/hr) for hours worked beyond 5. Best for a single person looking for a place to stay with a job.
Answer:

this is like bartering you will be exchanging 5 hrs of work a day which is 35 hrs a week in exchange for the room now this really isn't a bad deal i have worked at several motels cleaning rooms and depending on how many rooms are rented a night you could be working 7-9 hrs a day and even if this doesn't happen you could always get a part time job to work the afternoon hrs when you are done with hours at motel so do the math 35 hrs x 8.00 = 260.00 x 4 {weeks a month} =1040.00 or 260.00 x 5 {weeks month} = 1300.00 for that you will get room utilities,cable and maybe wireless internet depending on where you live this may or may not be a good deal i would investigate the area see how many rooms they do rent
