G: Hello, I'd like to check out. My name is Anton Ross. Room 735.

R: Did you enjoy your stay with us?

G: Yes, very much so. However, I now need to get to the airport. I have a flight that leaves in about two hours, so what is the quickest way to get there?

R: We do have a free airport shuttle service.

G: That sounds great, but will it get me to the airport on time?

R: Yes, it should. The next shuttle leaves in 15 minutes, and it takes approximately 25 minutes to get to the airport.

G: Fantastic. I'll just wait in the lounge area. Will you please let me know when it will be leaving?

R: Of course, sir. Oh, before you go would you be able to settle the mini-bar bill?

G: Oh, yes, certainly. How much will that be?

R: Let's see. The bill comes to $37.50. How would you like to pay for that?

G: I'll pay with my Visa thanks, but I'll need a receipt so I can charge it to my company.

R: Absolutely. Here we are sir. If you like you can leave your bags with the porter and he can load them onto the shuttle for you when it arrives.

G: That would be great, thank you.

R: Would you like to sign the hotel guestbook too while you wait?

G: Sure, I had a really good stay here and I'll tell other people to come here.

Receptionist: Good afternoon, how can I help you?

Lena: Good afternoon. We have a reservation for a double room. My name is Johnson, Lena Johnson.

Receptionist: That's what I have on my list.

Molly: That must be a mistake. Don't you have any rooms with a shower?
