CHECKING-IN TO A HOTEL

 

 

“Majestic” hotel in New York

 

 

 

When travellers arrive at the hotel after a long hard day of travel first of all they need to check-in. Check-in means to register for the room by filling out necessary forms and giving the hotel the credit card number.

Sarah Johnson has arrived to the “Majestic” hotel in New York and she is ready to begin her stay. Paul, the receptionist, helps Sarah register for the room. While checking-in Sarah inquires about hotel services.

DIALOGUE

Paul: Good afternoon, Madam. Can I help you?

SarahJohnson: Good afternoon. My name is Sarah Johnson. I’d like to check-in, please.

Paul: Yes, of course.

SarahJohnson: I have a reservation.

Paul: All right, just a moment… Here it is, Sarah Johnson, is that right?

SarahJohnson: Yes.

Paul: It’s one of our business suites with a balcony facing the courtyard.

SarahJohnson: Non-smoking?

Paul: Yes, we’ve got you on a non-smoking floor.

SarahJohnson: Good.

Paul: Staying three nights?

SarahJohnson: Right.

Paul: Could you, please, just fill out this registration card?

SarahJohnson: Yes, of course. Do I fill in my home address?

Paul: Yes, please.

SarahJohnson: Do you also have our dinner reservation?

Paul: Yes, you’ve got a table for two in our “Sky View” restaurant for dinner at eight o’clock.

SarahJohnson: That’s great.

Paul: Have you stayed at the “Majestic” before, Madam?

SarahJohnson: Yes, but it was long ago. How do we get to the restaurant?

Paul: Just take the elevator to the fifth floor and turn right. There will be a host there to welcome you.

SarahJohnson: Great, thank you. And how about the fitness center?

Paul: It’s on the sixth floor. You should bring your room key. You’ll need it to get in.

SarahJohnson: Thanks. Oh, and can we get an extra key? My husband will need one.

Paul: Yes, of course.

SarahJohnson: Great, thanks.

Paul: You’re welcome. Well, I’ll just need to get your deposit.

SarahJohnson: Here’s my credit card. And when is check-out? Our plane is at 5:05 PM on Saturday.

Paul: Check-out is at noon, but just call down if you need a little extra time. It’s usually not a problem.

SarahJohnson: Thanks.

Paul: Ok. Your room is 832. It’s on the eighth floor. Here are your keys.

SarahJohnson: Thank you.

Paul: You are welcome. Is there anything else I could do for you?

Sarah Johnson: No, that’s great.

Paul: Well, just give us a call if we can be of assistance.

SarahJohnson: I will. What’s your name?

Paul: It’s Paul.

SarahJohnson: Thank you, Paul, you’ve been very helpful.

Paul: My pleasure, Madam.

SarahJohnson: Bye.

Notes to the dialogue:

A registration card is a form with a name, contact information and in some cases passport number and other information. Depending on the country some hotels may ask to fill in home address and the name of the country from where the guest arrived. Sometimes they ask you to fill in your visa number.

When we first arrive at the hotel we often don’t know where everything is. Here are some useful phrases to ask about the location of different places:

- I have a quick question. Can you tell me where the business center is?

- Where do we find a bar?

- I’d love to take a swim. Could you tell me where to find a swimming pool?

- Please give me directions to the “Ocean” conference room.

- - Is there a hair salon on the premises? On the premises means anywhere in the building.

- Do you have an exchange bureau?

 

There are, of course, many types of extra requests that we might need to make when checking-in to a hotel. Here are some useful phrases:

- Can you book a wake up call for me tomorrow at 7:00 AM?

- Is it possible to have an extra roll away bed for our child?

- Can you have some fresh flowers and fruit put in the room?

 

Here are some useful questions about the rules of the hotel and about hotel services:

- When is the check-out time?

- How does your dry-cleaning service work?

- How late can I order dinner with room service?

- Can the hotel help me book an airplane ticket?

- I‘d love to take a tour of the city. Do you have any guide services you recommend?

- Where there is the good place to shop in the neighborhood?

- Are there any restaurants you recommend in the nearby?
