At the hotel in Spanish
Carlos and Carmona have been planning this trip to Ecuador for ages and are hoping see many new things. The taxi drops Carlos and Carmona off on a bustling avenue with wide streets and buses zipping crazily back and forth. They lug their suitcases through the entrance of a tall, dark building. The receptionist looks up as they enter.

Wearily, Carlos and Carmona carry their bags up to their room. “After a nap,” Carlos promises, “we’re going to explore the city!”
I hope that this lesson has given you lots of useful words and phrases. Getting a hotel room can be a difficult and scary task in a Latin American country… especially if the receptionist doesn’t know any English!
From my experience, most major hotels either have someone who knows a little English or can offer you a printed list of their rooms and services in English. However, be warned: sometimes the person who knows a little English can be worse than the person who knows no English. My friend Amy says that she's been in hostels where the receptionist was certain that he was speaking English to her, but she found it completely incomprehensible!
