F: Hello, welcome to prise star hotel. How may I do for you?
M: Hi, yes, I have a reservation. My secretary called and booked a room a couple of weeks ago, the reservation should be for a double bed, none smoking room.
F: And what name of reservation made under?
M: It should be under Steve Johnson.
F: Mmm, let me see, it seems there is no Johnson listed for a room for tonight, is there any other name that you reservation list under?
M: No, here is the confirmation number, would that help? It is 898007,I had the room booked with a visa cord card.
F: Ah, yes, here it is, you have a standard double room, non smoking on the 3rd floor, I just need to see some identification and the credit card you booked the room with if you don’t mind.
M: Sure, here it is. Would it be possible to check out and pay the bill in the morning, also, what time is breakfast served?
F: There is a continental breakfast buffet from 6:00am to 10:00am, it’s in the lobby.
Also you can settle your bill in the morning, but we require a 20% deposit upfront, but I can just keep a record of your credit on file. Ok, I’ve got you all set up if you could just sign here, and initial here, here is your room key, anything else I can do for you?

Dialogue 2
M: Excuse me, can you help me? I would like to change rooms if possible, I couldn’t sleep at all last night, because the people in the room next to mine were making a lot of noise, also if at all possible, I’d like a room that doesn’t overlook the street, between the noisy neighbors and the highway outside, I didn’t sleep a wink.
F:I am so sorry to hear that sir, let me check and see what is available, what room are you in now?
M:I’m on the 6th floor, room 698,I’v had many problems with that room, just this morning, I called someone up to fix the light fixture in the bathroom, it didn’t work, and it still doesn’t work.
F:Oh,dear, well,it looks like we have a few rooms available, can I put you into a room on the 17th floor? It has a balcony and it doesn’t face the highway.
M: Ok, that would be very nice! What do I need to do to transfer?
F: Let me check you out of your old room, you have to sign here, and acknowledge these changes and also the charges to your previous room. Then I can hook you right up to room 1780.
