Checking In, Checking Out by Cari Luna

You've made it from the airport to the hotel front desk. And you've been using your Spanish all the way, thanks to this book, haven't you? Now, let's get you checked in. Courtesy is extremely important in many Spanish-speaking cultures. Remember to say por favor (please) and gracias (thank you), and you'll get much better service. And as always, when in doubt, use the formal you, usted.
