Would you prefer a single or a double? 10 P.M.? Thanks. Oh! And can I get a wake-up call for 6:30 A.M. And how about a restaurant? Great. What time does the restaurants close? It’s $145.00 a night. How many nights will you be staying? It’s D-A-V-I-E-S. I’d like a room, please? Great. I’ll pay with VISA then. What time is checkout? And how do you spell that, sir? So that’s D-A-V-I-E-S. How would you like to pay for the room? Do you take VISA? There are restaurants on the 1st and 3rd floor and there’s a café next to the lobby. Yes, we do. We take VISA, Mastercard, and American Express. A double, please. How much is that? Checkout is at 10 o’clock. Your room number is 505. Is there anything else you would like to know? Yes, there is. It’s on the 2nd floor. But you have to bring the towel from your room. OK. One night comes to $145.00 plus tax. May I have your name please? Is there a pool here? Welcome to the Beachside Inn. How may I help you? They both close at 10:00 P.M. Sure. No problem. Wake-up call for 6:30 A.M. Enjoy your stay. Just tonight. It’s Davies. Robertson Davies. |
