The Situation

In a picturesque hotel near 故宫 (The Forbidden City | Gùgōng), travelers approach the reception desk for 登记 (check-in | dēngjì). You inquire about the options of 双人床 (double bed | shuāngrén chuáng) and 单人床 (single bed | dānrén chuáng) in 标准间 (standard room | biāozhǔn jiān) and 套房 (suite | tàofáng). The staff confirms your 预约 (reservation | yùyuē) and discusses the 押金 (deposit | yājīn) and 取消 (cancellation | qǔxiāo) policies.

A request for 延迟 (late | yánchí) checkout leads to a conversation about 折扣 (discount | zhékòu) rates and 特价 (special price | tèjià) offers. The travelers, satisfied with the arrangements, use their 信用卡 (credit card | xìnyòngkǎ) to pay and receive their 发票 (invoice | fāpiào).

In their room, they find a 客房服务 (room service | kèfáng fúwù) menu and appreciate the 设施 (facilities | shèshī), including a 保险箱 (safe | bǎoxiǎn xiāng), 衣柜 (wardrobe | yīguì), 桌子 (table | zhuōzi), 椅子 (chair | yǐzi), 灯 (lamp | dēng), 插头 (plug | chātóu), and a 遥控器 (remote control | yáokòngqì).
