Today we’ll study some travel vocabulary phrases together as you come with me for a weekend

You’ll learn phrases and vocabulary that you might use at a hotel, like ‘amenities’ or ‘incidentals’.

We’ll order room service together and  enjoy some amazing views.

And then about an hour after I booked, I  booked an upgrade.

I’m sure you’re very familiar with the noun  version of this word, book,

but it’s also a verb which means to reserve something.

I booked a hotel room, you could also  book a table at a restaurant.

You could book a venue for your wedding, or a concert venue could book an act or band.

The bar around the corner booked my  friend’s band for Friday.

So both the noun ‘book’ and the verb  ‘book’ are pronounced exactly the same.

For example, if you’ve had your cell phone for a while, and it’s a bit slow, you might want to get an upgrade.

On a flight, you might be upgraded from  an economy to a first class seat.

In this case, I booked a hotel room, and then the system asked me if I wanted to upgrade.

The offer seemed like a good deal to me,  so I did upgrade.

A paid a bit more money for a bigger, better room.

Because it sounded very enticing, what  was being offered.

I’m 8 months pregnant, and this was the last weekend that my doctor said I could travel away from home.

So we took Stoney to my in-laws, that is, David’s parents, and took this short trip.

In the US, you might hear people call this a babymoon.

That is, a relaxing trip you take before  before it’s harder to travel because you have a baby.

This is related to the term ‘honeymoon’,

which is a trip you take alone with your  partner right after you get married.

You booked for a water-view, de luxe king, correct? Yes. South-facing.

Here, we’re using some terms that you  might use when describing a room.

We booked a king, which means it has a  king-sized bed in it.

King and California King are the two largest-sized beds.

This simply means what you can see from your room.

You might have city-view, park-view, water-view, ocean-view, garden-view, street-view.

This means when you’re in your room looking out the window, which direction are you looking?

I knew I wanted to be south-facing because just north of the hotel are some taller buildings.

I didn’t want to look directly at another building, so I upgraded to a south-facing room.

You might also see a room described as a corner room,

which of course means you’re on the  corner of the building,

and you might get views in two different directions.

- You booked for a water-view, de luxe king, correct? - Yes. South-facing.

If I could just see a form of ID and a credit card for the reservation.

When checking into a hotel, there’s a good chance that they’ll ask for a form of ID, like she did.

That would be something official with your picture and name on it, like a driver’s license or passport.

They’ll also usually want a credit card from you

so they can make charges to the room if  you damage or take anything.

So I see that initially, you kind of deposit down for the room so we would just need the card for incidentals.

This is the word they use for anything in  addition to the cost of the room.

For example, if you eat or drink from the  mini-bar in your room,

they will keep track of that and charge it  to your card after you leave.

- so we would just need the card for incidentals. - Okay, no problem.

- And it doesn't...it's not ready yet by chance, is it? - It is!

She asks, “have you stayed here before?”

Oh, no. I've not. It's been on my bucket list.

It means something you want to do within your lifetime.

For example, visiting Paris is on my bucket list.

Oh, no. I've not. It's been on my bucket  list. So I'm glad that it's happening.

This initial here, here, and a signature there.

And if you can just add this gentleman's  name right there.

There might be something you have to initial or sign when checking into a hotel.

Initial, of course, means you just put RS instead of your whole signature, Rachel Smith.

This initial here, here, and a signature there. And if you can just add this gentleman's name right there.

We finish checking in and head up to our room.

Room number 814, we have a card as a key.

So this is why I don't want to be north-facing. It's because then you're just looking at a building.

It can be very handy to know the details of the room you want when booking a hotel.
