1. My friends and I flew down here to the beach for spring break. Of course, we're really excited about swimming, and partying, and meeting other college students. Our hotel is full of families and little kids, though! The restaurants are terrible—really crowded with kids, and noisy—and they're really slow. too. The hotel should have one restaurant that's just for adults, I think. Another problem is the service. The staff is too busy running activities for the little kids. so sometimes they don't bring us new towels or clean the room. One good thing is the room. It's really big, and it has a great view of the beach. The price is great, too. I guess most college students don't want to stay here, so the room rates are low.

2. I travel a lot for my job—too much. I think. Sometimes I'm away from home for three weeks or more. It can be pretty lonely. That's why I'm so happy about the hotel where I'm staying now. First of all, the restaurant serves light, healthy food that gives me a lot of energy for my work. Then there's the staff. They're very friendly to me. My only complaint is with the room. The bed is very hard. They should buy a softer mattress. Oh, and the rates are expensive, but the company pays for it, so I don't mind.

3. Our trip to the lake has been pretty disappointing so far. It takes two days to drive there, so of course we have to stay in a hotel for one night on the way. My husband forgot to make a reservation, though! We found a hotel, but the restaurant was only serving small snacks, When I complained about it to the hotel manager, he just laughed at me. They should get a new manager! The room is dirty and tiny. It's really bad. The kids have to share a bed, and they're unhappy about that Of course, the rates are very cheap, so that's good. We'll have to be sure to make reservations from now on.

4. My flight was delayed by a big snowstorm, so I had to stay overnight in this hotel. My only complaint is the restaurants. There are three of them, and they are all way too expensive for me, because the airline isn't paying for my dinner. They should have at least one cheap, casual restaurant. The staff is so friendly, though. Whenever I call the front desk to ask for something, they always remember my name, and they work so quickly. The room is huge, with a giant bathroom that is bigger than my whole apartment. It's got everything—a refrigerator, a microwave, even a flat-screen TV The rates are very expensive. I am so glad that the airline is paying for the room.
