Hotel Reception

Receptionist Have you made a Advance booking, Sir?

Mr.Verma I’m afraid I haven’t done any room reservation. I tried to do hotel online booking. I believe that hotel reservation software was not working then

Receptionist What kind of a room do you want, Sir? A double

room or a single room?

Mr.Verma A single room, please.

Receptionist Let me see. (Looking at the register). We are fully booked up at this time of the year. No, we haven’t a single room available, sir.

Mr.Verma But please do try to help me out. I wouldn’t know where else to stay.

Receptionist would you like to see the hotel Manager, Sir? He just might have some rooms reserved for emergencies.

Mr.Verma Thank you. Can you direct me to the Hotel Manager, Please.

Receptionist I’ll trace him for you in the hotel. Just a moment, Sir.(Talking into the phone). Please get me the Hotel Manager. He might be in booking office or he might have gone on a round of the hotel. It he is not in the booking office, try the Indian Restaurant. Thank you.

Mr.Verma In the mean while, can someone get my baggage out of the taxi?

Receptionist Why not. Of course. (Tapping a bell for the porter. To the porter.) Please get the gentleman’s bags out of the taxi. (To Mr.Verma) please do sit down. I’ll speak to the Manager of the Hotel about a room for you, Sir.
