Writing - An email to a hotel manager to make a reservation
Hotels
When traveling, we almost always stay at hotels. That's why it is advisable to pay attention to the following:
- Book a room in advance.
- On arrival, confirm your reservation. Check in at the reception.
- At large hotels you may ask for services by phone. For example, you may call for room service when you want a drink or a meal.
- Let the hotel manager know well in advance when you will leave.
