The hotel sector in the historic center of Havana reveals deficiencies in customer satisfaction regarding human resource. This research is aimed at analyzing the results of the implementation of a continuous improvement of human resource management that allows the enhancement of services quality, assuming the Cuban norm. The main results show that 55% of the items identified with the application of the SERVQUAL model show quality deficit associated with processes of human resource management, such as work competences and work organization. The main dysfunctions identified were unproductive times due to organizational and technical issues and labor fluctuation. Subsequently, hidden costs due to deficiencies were calculated, which amount to a value of 13 249,89 MU/year. To monitor these problems, objectives and indicators are proposed through the Integral Command Table, as well as a plan of corrective and preventive actions.
