I just finished a huge project at work and I needed some down time. I decided 1 to take a short vacation. I liked the idea of a long weekend out of town. My friend Sara offered to let me crash at her place in San Francisco, but I decided to stay at a hotel instead. Sara has a couple of roommates and I thought it might be too crowded.


I called the toll-free reservation number for a major hotel chain. The reservation agent was very helpful, after I got through the long phone tree.


Agent: Dutton Hotels. How may I help you today?


Jeff: I wanted to check rates and availability for your San Francisco location.


Agent: Certainly, I can help you with that. Will that be the downtown or waterfront location?


Jeff: The waterfront location.


Agent: What date do you plan to check in?


Jeff: I'd like to check in on October 12th and check out the 15th.


Agent: Okay, let me see what we have. For how many?


Jeff: One. And, if possible, I'm looking for a non-smoking room.


Agent: Sure, we have a non-smoking queen with an ocean view for $189 or a standard room with a courtyard view for $139 a night.


Jeff: I'd like to book the standard room.


Agent: Okay, your last name?


Jeff: Rama.


Agent: And, your first name?


Jeff: It's Jeff.


Agent: Okay, I have you booked in a standard non-smoking queen, checking in on October 12th and departing the 15th. What major credit card would you like to use to guarantee the reservation?


Jeff: A Visa.


Agent: The number and expiration 2?


Jeff: It's 7388-2424-3535-1818 and the expiration is 05/08.


Agent: Your confirmation 3 number is PD672. Is there anything else I help you with?


Jeff: No, that's all. Thanks.


Agent: Have a nice day and thank you for calling Dutton Hotels.
