M: Good afternoon.
W: Good afternoon. Welcome to the Carlton Hotel. How can I help you?
M: We’d like to book a couple of rooms.
W: Ok, sir. So for how many nights is that?
M: Three nights.
W: Who are the rooms for?
M: I’m here with my wife and two friends.
W: Do you want two double rooms?
M: We want one double room and two single rooms. How much are they per night?
W: Let me see. The double room is 60 dollars per night. The single room is 40 dollars.
M: And that includes everything?
W: That price includes tax. Also, if you want to have breakfast in the hotel, we charge only 2 extra dollars per person. There’s also a swimming pool in the backyard that our hotel guests can use for free. And we have a hair salon and a spa room on the second floor. You can get a discount after you check in here.
M: I don’t think we need breakfast here. Can I pay by credit card?
W: Yes, sure. Can I have your full name?
M: Yes, it’s Michael Fernsby.
W: Those rooms are booked for you then.
M: Ok. I know we’re a bit out of town here. Can you give me some information about getting into the center of town? We’ll probably head in tomorrow.
W: Well, you could drive in, but the parking is not great in town. It’s difficult to get a space and is quite expensive if you are staying there all day.
M: Yes, we’ll probably be there most of the day.
W: In that case, taking a taxi or the bus would be better.
M: How much is a taxi?
W: Into town it will be about 12 dollars. It only takes about 10 minutes.
M: Right, I see. What about the bus? How much is that and where does it go from?
W: It’s only 2 dollars per person. It’s not far from here. You go out of here, turn right on to Oak Tree Avenue, and it’s about a five minute walk down the road. The bus ride is about 20 minutes.
M: Oh, ok. We have four people. Taxi sounds like a better option.
W: Or you could walk actually if you like walking. Part of the way you can walk through the nice park which is fairly popular with visitors to York. It’s about 30 minutes but it’s quite pleasant.
M: Taking a walk in the morning and getting to know this community. That sounds great. We would take a taxi tomorrow and do some shopping in town, but I’m definitely walking to that park during our stay here. Thank you for mentioning that.
W: Ok, no problem. Thanks for booking with us.
