Hotel Reservations

I just finished a huge project at work and I needed some Down time. I decided to take a short vacation. I liked the idea of a long weekend out of town. My friend Sara offered to let me Crash at her place in San Francisco, but I decided to stay at a hotel instead. Sara has a couple of roommates and I thought it might be too crowded.

I called the Toll-free Reservation number for a Major hotel chain. The reservation Agent was very helpful, after I got through the long Phone tree.

Agent: Dutton Hotels. How may I help you today?

Jeff: I wanted To check rates and availability for your San Francisco location.

Agent: Certainly, I can help you with that. Will that be the Downtown or Waterfront location?
