Kinds of hotels in the United States: Places to stay for a short time may be called hotels, hostels, motels or motor hotels, inns, lodges or resorts. Hostels, also referred to as youth hostels, are often for students working away from home. Motels have plenty of parking space and are usually near a freeway or highway. Inns are usually like motels. Lodges and resorts, or resorts hotels, are in the mountains, on the coast, or near lakes.2. Kinds of beds: Beds go by many different names. Starting with the smallest, there are single, twin, double, queen and king size ones. “Long boys” are for exceptionally tall people. At some hotels, queen beds are the smallest size used, so a double room has two of them. Some hotels even offer their guests waterbeds. A rollaway can be moved into a room to sleep an extra person. Hide-a-beds are sofas that fold out to make beds.Text Welcome to Climer LodgeMiami UniversityOxford, Ohio 45056 Welcome to Climer Lodge.

Description of a hotel survey A hotel survey includes customer satisfaction with the Front Desk, Guest Services, Guest Room / Bath, Room Service, Restaurant, Lounge, and an overall rating.Text What to Include in a Hotel Guest SurveyA friend of mine recently went on a business trip. He stayed in a hotel that had a survey for every service that the hotel provided. He appreciated that the hotel wanted to thoroughly understand how it was doing in each of these services, but he did not have the time to provide customer feedback for each hotel survey. With that in mind, he suggested one comprehensive and consolidated hotel guest survey that would have made it simple to take and complete the survey. Here are a few of his ideas about what to include in a hotel guest survey: Decor While hotel atmosphere may not seem like it should matter, it can often set the tone for the entire guests experience. Decor can determine what customers hotels attract and how those guests experience the hotel. Does the resort make the guests feel relaxed? Luxurious? Energized? In short, decor matters, so it should be included in your hotel guest survey.  Cleanliness This may be an obvious category to include in the hotel guest survey. But sometimes the obvious can be overlooked. Cleanliness of the rooms, floors, lobbies, and shared spaces of the hotels can make or break someones experience. Ask about the cleanliness in both shared and private spaces to ensure that the hotel is meeting the standards of cleanliness. Food and beverage Food and beverage may not be critical to hotel guests if the hotel is located in a city. But if the guests are hotel-bound or the hotel is meant to meet the guests every need, then asking about the food and beverages is essential. Ensuring that the guests feel like they are getting good quality food for the price and that they are satisfied overall is what the hotel guest survey should consider. Staff The friendliness and helpfulness of hotel staff can also make or break someones hotel experience. Ensuring that your staff is friendly without being pushy or meddling is key, so include questions on your hotel guest survey that home in on this. While other hotel criteria can be important to include in a hotel guest survey, those are the four key aspects of a hotel experience that should be considered when creating hotel guest surveys.Language Points1 Explanation of Difficult Sentences1. (Para. 1) He stayed in a hotel that had a survey for every service that the hotel provided.Analysis: There are two relative clauses in this complex sentence. The first is that had a survey for every service, which is modifying a hotel. The second is that the hotel provided, which is used to modify every service.Translation: 她入住的酒店有一种对酒店提供的各项服务的调查表。Example: Fortunately there are some chemical fuels that are clean and smokeless.2.

In this clause subjunctive mood is used to imply that in the past the survey was not simple to take and complete.Translation: 考虑及此，她提出了一种综合而统一的酒店客人服务调查表，这样会使得调查表既便于填写又易于完毕。Example: With his family and friends in mind, Charles refused the offer to work abroad.3. (Para. 2) While hotel atmosphere may not seem like it should matter, it can often set the tone for the entire guests experience.Analysis: While introduces an adverbial clause of concession, meaning although.Like here is a conjunction, introducing an adverbial clause of manner, meaning as.Translation: 尽管酒店的氛围仿佛不那么重要，但是它却常常能为顾客的总体感受定下基调。Example: While his brother is quite rich, David is as poor as a church mouse.4. (Para.3) This may be an obvious category to include in the hotel guest survey.Analysis: The infinitive to include is used to modify category, which is the logical object of the infinitive. Therefore, the active voice is used instead of the passive voice.Translation:这也许是明显要涉及在宾馆调查表中的内容。Example: Every day the secretary has a lot of affairs to deal with.5. (Para.3) Ask about the cleanliness in both shared and private spaces to ensure that the hotel is meeting the standards of cleanliness.Analysis: This in an imperative sentence.

(Para.4) Ensuring that the guests feel like they are getting good quality food for the price and that they are satisfied overall is what the hotel guest survey should consider.Analysis: This is a complex sentence. The basic S-V structure of the sentence is Ensuring is The two that-clauses are the objects of the gerund ensuring, and the subject complement clause is introduced by what.Translation: 保证客人能享用优质的饭菜且价格公道，并对饮食服务总体满意，这是酒店调查表中应当考虑的内容。Example: To make sure that she can become a doctor, Helen works very hard at her lessons.7. (Para.5) Ensuring that your staff is friendly without being pushy or meddling is key, so include questions on your hotel guest survey that home in on this.Analysis: Ensuring that is a gerund phrase, used as the subject of the sentence.
