A: Can I reserve a hotel room? B: I assure you, that's not a problem. What is your full name, please? A: My name's John Sandals. B: It's a pleasure to assist you. Please tell me when you'll be needing the room, sir. A: If my plans don't change, I'll need a room April 14 till April 17. B: Sir, our room prices are slightly higher than you may have thought. Will that be okay? A: Tell me how much it will be, and I can tell you if it's okay. B: Only $308 per night, before taxes, of course. A: $308 a night? That's a fair price. B: Now, as for the room, sir, do you prefer smoking or nonsmoking? A: Nonsmoking, please. B: Nonsmoking. Now, sir, does a single queen-size bed meet your approval? A: I have absolutely no problem with that. B: Queen, nonsmoking. Okay, sir, your room is reserved. Now if you'll just give me your phone number. A: Not a problem. The number is 626-555-1739. B: Thank you for making a reservation with us. We look forward to seeing you in April!
