Checking In

In the seventh season finale of The Jeffersons, "Florence's New Job", the Jeffersons' maid, Florence Johnston (Marla Gibbs), accepted a job to become the executive housekeeper at the fictional St. Frederick Hotel in New York City.

The series follows Florence's misadventures at the hotel with her co-workers: Lyle Block, her stuffy manager; Elena Beltran, her assistant; Earl Bellamy, the inept house detective; Hank Sabatino, the lewd handyman; Betty, the floor supervisor; Dennis, the bellboy; and Mr. Claymore, the hotel owner.

Faced with low ratings, the series was cancelled, and the final episode aired on April 30, 1981.

Gibbs then returned to her regular role on The Jeffersons and it was explained that the St. Frederick Hotel had burned down.
