EigoPro 準2級プラス 読解 — A Hotel Booking Inquiry

From: Takeshi Ono To: Lakeside Hotel Date: Tuesday, July 22 Subject: Question about a booking in August Dear Sir or Madam, I am planning a family trip to your area in August, and I am interested in staying at your hotel. Before I make a reservation, I have a few questions that I hope you can answer. About Our Stay We are a family of four: two adults and two children, aged six and nine. We would like to stay for three nights, from August 12 to August 15. I noticed on your website that you have "family rooms," but it was not clear whether one family room is large enough for four people, or whether we would need two rooms. Could you please let me know? Meals and Facilities We would also like to know if breakfast is included in the room price, or if it costs extra. My younger child cannot eat eggs, so I would be grateful if you could tell me whether the breakfast menu has other choices. In addition, does the hotel have a swimming pool? My children are very excited about swimming during the trip. Getting There Finally, we will be arriving by train at the local station. Is there a hotel bus from the station, or should we plan to take a taxi? If there is a bus, what time does it run? Thank you very much for your help. I look forward to hearing from you, and I hope to make a reservation soon. Best regards, Takeshi Ono
