Hey,
We run four 300-bed hostels and don´t have any "front desk managers" at all. So - I think two of those for a 135 bed hostel are not necessary. We do perfectly well with students who work in our reception part-time. They need very little management.
We have seven full-time cleaners per hostel though (one of them as cleaning manager), so I think one full-time and 1-2 part-time cleaning staff won´t be enough.
I recommend to avoid trade workers like the plague. Own staff will be much more loyal to you and do a better job.
Don´t forget auxiliary costs. I don´t know how that works in the US, but in Europe we have to pay extra fees like for health insurance, pension funds and the like. You also have to calculate paid holidays and (paid) sick time.
