地道美語(yǔ)聽力播客:Hotel Reservations 訂酒店

I just finished a huge project at work and I needed some down time . I decided to take a short vacation. I liked the idea of a long weekend out of town. My friend Sara offered to let me crashat 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.
