Making Reservations
Client: Hi, good morning. I'd like to make a reservation for the third weekend in September.
Do you have any vacancies?
R: Yes sir, we have several rooms available for that particular weekend. And what is the
exact date of your arrival?
C: The 24th.
R: And would you like a room with twin beds or a double bed?
R: Great. And would you prefer to have a room with a view of the ocean?
C: If that type of room is available, I would love to have an ocean view. What's the rate for
the room?
R: Your room is five hundred and ninety dollars per night. Now what name will the
reservation be listed under?
C: Charles Hannighan.
C: Sure. H-A-N-N-I-G-H-A-N
R: Great. Now I'll need your credit card information to reserve the room for you. What type
of card is it?
C: Charles H. Hannighan.
R: Alright, Mr. Hannighan, your reservation has been made for the twenty-fourth of
September for a room with a double bed and view of the ocean. Check-in is at 2 o'clock. If
you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to call us.
R: My pleasure. We'll see you in September, Mr. Hannighan. Have a nice day.
Checking-In
Hotel: Good afternoon. Welcome to the Grand Woodward Hotel. How may I help you?
Guest: I have a reservation for today. It's under the name of Hannighan.
Hotel: Yes, Mr. Hannighan, we've reserved a double room for you with a view of the ocean
for two nights. Is that correct?
Hotel: Excellent. We already have your credit card information on file. If you'll just sign the
receipt along the bottom, please.
Guest: Well, fine. I'm here on business anyway, so at least I'm staying on the company's
dime. What's included in this cost anyway?
Hotel: A full Continental buffet every morning, free airport shuttle service, and use of the
hotel's safe are all included.
Hotel: Well, you will find a mini-bar in your room. Use of it will be charged to your account.
Also, the hotel provides room service, at an additional charge of course.
Hotel: Room 487. Here is your key. To get to your room, take the elevator on the right up
to the fourth floor. Turn left once you exit the elevator and your room will be on the left
hand side. A bellboy will bring your bags up shortly.
Hotel: My pleasure, sir. Have a wonderful stay at the Grand Woodward Hotel.
Guest: Yes, very much so. However, I now need to get to the airport. I have a flight that
leaves in about two hours, so what is the quickest way to get there?
Guest: That sounds great, but will it get me to the airport on time?
Hotel: Yes, it should. The next shuttle leaves in 15 minutes, and it takes approximately 25
minutes to get to the airport.
Guest: Fantastic. I'll just wait in the lounge area. Will you please let me know when it will
be leaving?
Hotel: Of course, sir. Oh, before you go would you be able to settle the mini-bar bill?
Hotel: Let's see. The bill comes to $37.50. How would you like to pay for that?
Guest: I'll pay with my Visa thanks, but I'll need a receipt so I can charge it to my company.
Hotel: Absolutely. Here we are sir. If you like you can leave your bags with the porter and
he can load them onto the shuttle for you when it arrives.
Hotel: Would you like to sign the hotel guestbook too while you wait?
Guest: Sure, I had a really good stay here and I'll tell other people to come here.
Hotel: That's good to hear. Thank you again for staying at The Grand Woodward Hotel.
