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!
