2.3 In for the Night
i think it is missing kinda important part of the conversation, if you gonna stay at a hotel it can be good too know how too ask how much for 1 night or 2 and when breakfast time is or if you are more then one person and wish too split the price.
it is just a recommendation.

Well, for asking how much is the price, you could ask like this: X nichi ni heya ga ikura desu ka ? - where X represents the number of days.
For breakfast, you could ask like this: Choushoku no jikan itsu desu ka ?
For example, if you aren't alone, you could say: watashi-tachi wa heya no okane o bunkatsu shitai no desu ga...by this you tell the receptionist that you want to split the money for the room between you guys.

Well, these may not be mentioned there, but you'll steadily learn all the words you need to make these sentences as you follow the course.

My pleasure
Yes, you're right: jikan means times, but also means hour (eg. ichi jikan = one hour)

i checked out with my sensei that your sentence is not recommended too say but this is:
watashi tachi wa heya no okane wo betsu betsu de haritai no desu ga
betsu betsu is split up
bunkatsu is if you want too split in payment and pay some now and later like a loan
