Day 2-7: Hotel Check-In at Midtown Parkview Hotel
Read, listen, or speak your way through a realistic hotel check-in at a Manhattan front desk. Choose the reply you would actually say after arriving by taxi from JFK.
Some answers are calm, clear, and natural. Other answers are too vague, too rushed, too literal, or misunderstand hotel phrases like “reservation number”, “last name”, “ID”, “card for incidentals”, “security deposit”, “taxes and fees”, “check-out”, “Wi-Fi”, and “luggage storage”.
You can recover by using repair language such as: “Just to confirm…”, “Is that a hold or a charge?”, “Are taxes already included?”, “Could you repeat the Wi-Fi details?”, “What time is check-out?”, and “Could I store my bags after check-out?” At the end, review your result and submit it to your teacher/tutor.
- You called the Midtown Parkview Hotel before the trip and made a reservation by phone.
- You have now arrived in New York, reached the hotel by taxi from JFK, and need to check in at the front desk.
- Your goal is to give your name and reservation number, confirm room type, dates, deposit, taxes, breakfast, Wi-Fi, check-out, and luggage storage so the details match the earlier phone booking.
