Types of Rooms

So we figured out the dates you’ve got the receptionist to understand when you want to stay how long you want to stay.

How many people go.

Now we need to get into the different room types.

And there are many different room types for different hotels.

Obviously we can’t cover all of them we’re going to try to get into them a little bit.

Sure.

The last thing that was said was me and my wife.

Right.

Who’s staying.

Me and my wife.

That’s two people.

Sure.

This is just to acknowledge something.

This is a very very useful word to say.

Yes.

Hey can I can I go I need to I need to finish something.

Yeah sure.

OK.

Or to confirm that you’ve got information.

OK.

I have to leave tomorrow at 3:00 p.m..

OK.

Sure sure.

That could mean I understand.

Yes.

Or it could also mean I recognize that you said that I understand.

And if you tell me that tomorrow I will remember it probably.

All right.

Sure.

And which room type would you like.

Which room type would you like.

Could you tell me more about your room types.

Maybe I’ve never stayed at the villa hotel before.

So I need to know more.

We have a standard room standard is often described as the basic option of something the basic option.

So if you get a car with standard features that means it doesn’t have anything extra.

It’s kind of the basic thing.

And there’s nothing about it that’s maybe premium premium premium has that’s an IOU and premium has lots of extra things with a standard room which has two double beds two double beds.

That’s one hundred and twenty seven dollars per night.

OK.

Notice that when we read this we don’t say dollar 127.

We say one hundred and twenty seven and then we say dollars OK even though it’s before even though the dollar sign is before.

That’s one hundred and twenty seven dollars per night.

Then we also have a queen room which is 140 but the room is the same size to the Queen room has a queen bed.

The bed size is Queen general sizes for beds in hotels are double.

And then Queen and then King and this is in order of size sometimes you’ll see a twin bed twin is generally smaller.

So twin is one person but you don’t usually see that in a hotel.

You’ll see double queen and king.

OK.

So the next one but the room is the same size the deluxe room deluxe is a word that’s used to describe something that does have extra sometimes premium things added onto it.

If you go to a fast food restaurant and you get something that has extra it’s often a deluxe.

For example a deluxe burger.

There are extra things on the burger the deluxe room has a king bed and the room is bigger.

That’s one hundred and eighty dollars.

Notice I say a hundred and eighty dollars not one hundred and eighty.

You don’t have to say one we often say oh if it’s anything that is one an hour a day a year a month.

A hundred.

That’s one hundred and eighty dollars per night then of course we have the suite which has a separate bedroom a big balcony and a Jacuzzi a balcony is basically an outside an outdoor area.

Building is here and then there’s a balcony that comes out like that.

It’s a very ugly balcony.

And not every hotel room has one.

So that’s a nice that’s a kind of a deluxe thing right suite room is usually the nicest room in the hotel and a Jacuzzi.

Wow a Jacuzzi is often called a hot tub hot tub.

And this is kind of like a a bathtub.

But it’s more a public thing that multiple people can share and it’s not actually for bathing it’s for relaxation.

And it bubbles it’s hot.

It’s got jets of water.

It’s called a Jacuzzi or a hot tub.

So this is a very nice room.

OK.

Now we have to decide which of these rooms we want.

We have the standard which is the basic.

We have the Queen.

We have the deluxe and we also have the suite room.

Which one are we going to pick.
