    Default Staying in a hotel

    Staying in a hotel

    Rceptionist: What kind of room do you like?
    Guest: I'd like a quiet room.
    Receptionist: How about a room on the upper floor?
    Guest: May I see the room? (Is it natural?)

    ------------------------------------------------------------
    Guest: : Could you bring my baggage down to the lobby tomorrow morning?(Is it correct to use 'bring'?)
    Receptionist: Sure. What time are you leaving.?

    Thank you for your help.

    It all seems natural enough to me.

    Except you want "quiet" not "quite."

    Two different words.

    Thanks SoothingDave,

    Is it correct to say 'May I look the room?"

    Either, may I look at the room or may I see the room.
