There is a room booked under the name John Cena in this hotel.

Please check my sentence.

Who are you saying this to? Are you pretending to be John Cena? If not, who is he and why are you telling someone there is a room booked for him?

You can use either preposition there but it's still not a natural sentence without context.

I deleted two further sentences from this thread in moderation, as I knew there was going to be enough to discuss with just this one.

You can post them (one at a time) as supplementary questions in this thread when you have answered ems's questions above.

Sorry, I didn't want to write Cena there (it is a mistake). John is a customer standing at a hotel's reception for whom a room has been booked in that hotel. He is checking in.

I have forgotten what other two sentences were (that you deleted).

I suggest you keep a record of sentences you ask about, because I do that a lot.

He would probably say to the receptionist "I have a reservation. My name is John Cena". I don't know why you said that you didn't mean to write "Cena". He would need to give his surname to the receptionist. There's no point in him saying "I'm John. I have a reservation".

Here's an unlikely dialogue that would probably never happen.

A: Good morning. I have a reservation.
B: Good morning, Sir. What name, please?
A: John Cena.
B: John Cena? As in TV presenter, rapper, and WWE legend John Cena?
A: Oh, did I say John Cena? Sorry, I meant John Smith. That's S-M-I-T-H.
B: Thank you, Sir. Here's your key. Room 238. Have a nice day, Mr Cena. I mean, Mr Smith.

If there is another person who is asking receptionist about John's reservation then what does he need to say "There is a room booked "in" or "under" the name John Smith. Can I get the room number please"?

Did you read the fourth sentence in post #2?

 

[tufguy]

Did you read the fourth sentence in post #2?

Morris at the hotel's reception: Hi, there is a room booked "under" or "in" (both under and in can be used here. Am I correct?) the name John Smith in this hotel.

Receptionist: Yes, there is but may I know who are you?

Morris: I am John's friend. Could you please tell me his room number?

 

[Rover_KE]

Receptionist: I'm sorry, sir, but I can't give you his room number until I have checked with him that he wants to see you.
