When people travel they almost always stay at hotels or guest houses. It is necessary to remember the following:
1. The 1st thing is to do is to book a room in advance by letter, telephone or telegram, or you may arrive at the hotel and be told that there are no rooms available.
2. On arrival at the hotel go to the reception desk and confirm your reservation. The clerk will then give you a registration form to fill in and sign (the form is filled- in in block letters).
3. At large hotels you may ask for any service by telephone. You tell the telephone operator if you want to be called at a certain time; you call room service when you want a meal or drinks; if you need something (say, a suit or a dress cleaned or pressed).
4. Let the hotel manager know in advance the day and the time of your departure.
