Hello, Traveller's Inn. May I help you?

Yes, please. I'm calling to make a reservation for next week.

One moment, please. I'll ring reservations.

Reservations, may I help you?

Yes, please. What do you have available for next week, from the 20th to the 25th?

Will this be for yourself?

Yes, I would like to make a reservation for a single room. Do you have any corporate rates?

Yes, we do. We have a corporate rate and a senior discount program. Both offer 15 percent discount off our standard rate.

Okay, then book me for five days at your corporate rate.

Okay. That's five days at $I25 per night, beginning the 20th of this month. Will you be arriving before 6:00 p.m. or would you like to guarantee your room with a credit card?

I'll be arriving before noon. Does that rate include breakfast?

Yes, it does. We offer a full breakfast every morning from 7:30 to 11:30.

Sounds good.

Will this be a smoking or non-smoking room?

Non-smoking, please. By the way, how far are you from the airport?

We're five miles from the airport; we are right off the freeway before you get to town.

Listen, I was wondering if you could make a dinner reservation for me in town.

I'd be happy to. What did you have in mind?

Well, I don't know the area, so if you would pick out a popular restaurant, someplace within walking distance. For about 8:00 p.m.

Consider it done.

Thank you. I appreciate your help.

You're quite welcome, and thank you for choosing Traveller's Inn. Good-bye.

Bye now.
