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?
