Hey everybody, it's Arinita La Gringa and welcome back to my YouTube channel.

In today's video, I will teach all of you hotel vocabulary at the best hotel in Cincinnati,

the Cincinnati Marriott at River Center.

I will show you how to check in,

what a normal room looks like,

different amenities like the pool and the gym,

as well as how to check out in a hotel.

Now let's drive to the hotel.

The first thing you do when you arrive is park your car.

Many hotels have a parking lot where you park your car yourself,

or they have valet parking.

Valet parking is a special service.

Someone who works at the hotel parks your car for you.

It's easy because you don't have to find a parking spot,

but it usually costs extra money.

Welcome to Marriott.

Will you be staying with us today?

Yes.

All right, would you like to valet the vehicle then?

Sure, yes.

And a first name?

Ariana.

All right, Miss Ariana.

Here's your valet ticket.

The way this works, all you got to do is just scan

that QR code or text that phone number there using your phone.

And how much will it be per night?

It'll be about $42 overnight.

24-7 service, unlimited in and out.

And so every time you go in and out, there's no extra charge.

Thank you so much.

My name's Grant.

I'll be taking care of your vehicle as well as your luggage today.

Would you like any help through luggage?

Sure, yeah.

I have it in the back.

All right, this is Ariana.

All I need is those keys from you.

I'm going to get you taken care of.

Here you go.

Thank you.

The lobby is going to be on the first floor on level L in those elevators there.

Thank you so much.

Enjoy your stay.

Thanks.

I just dropped off my car with the valet and now it's time to go upstairs to the lobby.

Now I'm in the hotel lobby.

Yes, this is the lobby and over here is the front desk area where you can check in and check out.

Hi.

Hi, how are you?

Good, how are you?

Good.

Welcome to the Maryanne.

How may I assist you?

I'd like to check in please.

Okay and the last name on your reservation?

La Gringa.

How do you spell that?

L-A-G-R-I-N-G-A.

All right Miss La Gringa.

I have you here for two nights.

I'll have you in a balcony king room.

Let me get a peek at your driver's license and the credit card that you want to provide.

Okay.

Thank you.

All right here's that bag.

Thank you.

Okay I'm gonna actually have you tap your credit card on this machine right here.

Okay.

Awesome.

Thank you.

Two room keys okay for you?

Just one is fine.

Okay.

And then why do you take my credit card?

That is to make sure that I have an actual credit card that will go through with the process of your reservation.

If I didn't take your card,

then I can't use the card on file because I'm going to have to ask you for the right one.

I have your room key here.

I have you on the fourth floor.

Here at this property, we have room service.

We also have a swimming pool,

an ebb club, which you will have access to it.

It's open from 6.30 a.m for breakfast.

and in the evening we have a hot appetizer from 5 30 to 10.

The closest elevator to your room would be

if you go down this hallway here you'll take a left and then you'll take the glass elevator up.

Enjoy your stay.

Thank you.

My pleasure.

When you check in or basically when you tell the hotel

that you are here you will then get your room key and your room number.

The process of checking in is very easy.

You just need to give your name,

ID or passport, a credit card,

as well as the reservation or booking number.

If you made a reservation or a booking,

that means you've reserved a room in the hotel weeks or months prior.

100

Sometimes if you have a lot of bags or luggage,

101

you might want to transport them on a luggage cart,

102

but it doesn't make any sense for me to put one small suitcase on the luggage cart

103

because I don't have more bags.

104

But this is nice because you can bring it down to the lobby,

105

go up in the elevator with it,

106

and drop off your bags in your room.

107

If you're someone that doesn't know where their hotel room is,

108

like me right now, you might have to go next to this sign and just check it out.

109

My room number is 413,

110

so it's going to be that way.

111

I've arrived to my room 413 and I have to use a key card.

112

This is a key card to open the door.

113

I will just tap it here and let's check out the room.

114

Oh wow!

115

This looks like a very nice double room.

116

It's a room for two people with a nice big bed.

117

This is a king-size bed.

118

Hotels have single rooms for one person,

119

twin rooms for multiple beds,

120

or even a suite, which is basically a large room that might have a living space or a living room.

121

But first, let's try out the bed.

122

Wow, this bed is so comfortable!

123

You can see the basic amenities or the useful services or things in the room or in the hotel.

124

For example, there is a nice bed,

125

a desk to work at.

126

Hello.

127

There's a television or TV where you can watch movies or TV shows.

128

And if you want to switch a channel or a show,

129

you can just use the remote control.

130

And down here, they have a mini coffee bar.

131

Yes, where you can make coffee.

132

They have plastic coffee cups,

133

coffee beans, and a coffee maker or a coffee machine.

134

And over here, they even have an ice bucket,

135

two bottles of water, two plastic cups,

136

and a card that says,

137

Say thanks, tip your housekeeper with shiny.

138

So you can scan this QR code and tip the housekeeper.

139

A housekeeper is the person in the hotel that cleans all of the rooms.

140

You can call them housekeepers or the maid service.

141

And down here, if I open up this cabinet,

142

let's see what they have.

143

Oh, they have a mini fridge, but it's empty.

144

So in some hotels, they will actually have beverages like pop,

145

water, Sprite, etc. and sometimes food inside of the mini fridges,

146

but that's called a mini bar.

147

And if you eat the food in the fridge or if you drink the pop or soda,

148

then you have to pay for it.

149

That'll be extra.

150

So that's why when you check in the hotel,

151

they will ask for your credit card because

152

if you do eat a piece of chocolate in the fridge or if you do drink a coca-cola,

153

they will charge you for it.

154

Also, they might ask you for a deposit,

155

which means you have to put money down,

156

maybe $100 up to $500, and you will get charged for this.

157

But if you don't break anything in the room,

158

they will return that deposit once you check out.

159

All of these things are called incidentals.

160

They are extra costs besides the room.

161

They cost more money like the mini bar,

162

as well as room service,

163

where food will be delivered to your room.

164

You can actually call room service by just dialing up a number and you can order breakfast,

165

lunch, and dinner.

166

Also in the room they have outlets or sockets where you can plug a charger and charge your phone.

167

But in some countries you might have to use an adapter because the outlets or the sockets might be different.

168

Now if you think this room looks good just wait until you see the view.

169

Yes, I booked a room with a view of the city.

170

Let's go check it out.

171

If you've been watching my videos and if you've subscribed to my channel,

172

you probably know where I live.

173

Let me know down below in the comments what city I live in.

174

If you guessed Cincinnati, you're right!

175

So now let's explore the city,

176

but first I'm going to take an Uber to the train museum.

177

My Uber's here.

178

Hi!

179

Can you park next to the front entrance so I don't have to walk a lot?

180

Have a good day!

181

What?

182

I'm asking if you can drop me off over there so I don't have to walk a lot.

183

Me speak little English.

184

America is a big country with millions of people,

185

so it's common to encounter people who don't speak English.

186

But this is why having a little tech help can make a huge difference.

187

I want to show you something I've been using.

188

These are the Aerofitz 2 earbuds from Soundcore.

189

They're awesome open-ear earphones with four adjustable earhook positions for tailored comfort.

190

It has thunderous bass thanks to bass turbo.

191

Plus, it's high-res wireless certified for really detailed audio.

192

The sound quality is amazing for music or podcasts.

193

And the best part for us language learners is the AI face-to-face translation.

194

It offers real-time accurate translation and the translation is completely free and it's available on the Soundcore app.

195

First, log in to the app and activate translation.

196

Hey, can you drop me off at the front entrance so I don't have to walk a lot?

197

Can you leave me at the main entrance so I don't have to walk too much?

198

Ok, no problem.

199

I'll leave it at the entrance.

200

Ok, no problem.

201

I'll leave it in front of the entrance.

202

Thank you very much.

203

Have a good day.

204

Thank you very much.

205

Have a good day.

206

These earbuds are amazing for travel,

207

making it super easy to translate conversations whether you're asking for directions or ordering food.

208

But they're especially useful for people who have just moved to the US and need to catch important information.

209

These earbuds are super comfortable and you can wear them all day

210

while traveling so you don't miss out on any announcements and you have accurate real translation.

211

Soundcore gave me a special code for you guys.

212

If you use the code CASEFORME,

213

Soundcore will send you a free travel case which is perfect for keeping your earbuds safe.

214

The link is in the description box down below.

215

Now, let's head back to the hotel.

216

And over here is the thermostat which controls the temperature.

217

So if you want AC or cool air,

218

you can turn it on or if you want to heat up the room you can turn the heat on.

219

And finally the bathroom.

220

It's en suite which means it's directly connected to the bedroom.

221

Let's go check it out.

222

I'm in the bathroom.

223

Here you might find some toiletries like some hand lotion,

224

hand soap, as well as shampoo and conditioner.

225

And under the sink you might find some towels,

226

washcloths, some extra toilet paper,

227

as well as a hair dryer or a blow dryer.

228

This is very important for women.

229

And finally, a decent size shower with a nice shower head,

230

a glass shower door, and they don't have many toiletries.

231

They actually have the full size shampoo,

232

conditioner, and body wash which is really nice.

233

And to finish off this room tour let's check out what's behind me.

234

A closet.

235

I'm opening the closet doors and wow it's pretty spacious.

236

There's a safe where you keep jewelry or a passport

237

and there's a little code you have to put in and they have some hangers where you can hang up some clothes.

238

But honestly when I go to a hotel I just keep everything in my suitcase.

239

They also have an ironing board,

240

an iron, and this is a great place to store my luggage or my suitcase.

241

And now let's check out what other amenities this hotel has.

242

Many hotels have great places for their guests.

243

Now let's head down to the pool.

244

This hotel has 15 floors,

245

but to get to the pool we have to go to the P level or the lobby.

246

And of course, if you want to use any amenity in the hotel,

247

you need to have a guest key card.

248

To enter, I just tap and it'll let me open the door.

249

And let's check out the pool.

250

Wow, this pool is huge.

251

It's very long and this is an indoor pool.

252

But if you visit a hotel in a different state like Florida,

253

Texas, or even California where the weather is warm all year round,

254

you might find outdoor pools in those hotels.

255

But in places like New York,

256

Chicago, up north like Cincinnati,

257

Ohio, you might find indoor pools because the weather gets cold in the winter.

258

I'm not going to go for a swim right now,

259

but if you want to learn more about pool vocabulary,

260

go ahead and check out this video on my YouTube channel.

261

Another amenity that this hotel has is a fitness center.

262

Yes, a gym.

263

Let's check it out.

264

I'm in the gym and they have so many different exercise machines.

265

You can lift weights and this really makes you stick to your routine.

266

Of course, after you work out on a machine,

267

don't forget to wipe down everything.

268

And then over here, they even have some lotion,

269

tissues, and even headphones that you can use while you're working out.

270

Here are some more towels and a scale.

271

Let's check my weight.

272

How much do you think I weigh?

273

Let me know in the comments.

274

now i am in the upper atrium terrace where you can

275

see all of the floors in the hotel sometimes they have events here

276

so that's why they have a bunch of food on the table but below this atrium there's a restaurant.

277

Let's go check it out.

278

If you're hungry or thirsty,

279

in this hotel you can go to the restaurant and grab a bite to eat.

280

This is the menu but next to the restaurant they have a bar.

281

This is the same restaurant where you can order room service.

282

So on the menu you can order an appetizer,

283

sandwiches, soups and salads as well as flatbreads and my favorite part, dessert.

284

Some hotels might offer breakfast.

285

You might have to pay for it or it might be included with your room.

286

That's called a complimentary breakfast.

287

Here they have the complimentary breakfast with the M Club.

288

I just need to use my key card and walk inside.

289

Let's go check it out.

290

This is where you will receive a complimentary breakfast.

291

Unfortunately, it's closed because breakfast runs from 6 30 a.m up until 10 in the morning.

292

This is where they will serve eggs,

293

pancakes, and sausage as well as some drinks.

294

But they do have some snacks left over from breakfast so I will grab an apple.

295

And over here is the coffee bar.

296

You can make some coffee,

297

grab some water, there's also some pop,

298

and you can also make some tea.

299

This is a great place to work and relax but I will use my time wisely and edit a couple of videos.

300

Now it's getting late and I think it's time to go to bed.

301

I will open the door and I'm going to put that do not disturb sign.

302

That way the housekeeping won't knock on my door really early in the morning.

303

I'll see you guys tomorrow.

304

What time is it?

305

Oh my gosh, it's time to check out!

306

Before I leave my room,

307

I'm going to check if I've left anything in here.

308

I have my backpack, my suitcase is over there.

309

I'm going to check the bathroom.

310

Everything looks good.

311

Now let's get out of here.

312

now it's time to check out in the lobby check out is

313

when you pay for your stay and then you leave there is a check-in time

314

and a check out time the normal check out time is around 10 to 11 a.m

315

but to check in is around 4 p.m

316

and what is the process like well to check out you

317

first need your key card you can't forget this then you will head to the lobby

318

and go towards the front desk and talk with an employee.

319

Sometimes you can check out later.

320

That's called a late checkout,

321

but you have to ask the employees there if it's accepted because remember,

322

you check out early around 10 or 11 a.m.

323

That way housekeeping can clean your room and make it nice and ready for the next guest.

324

How are you?

325

Good, how are you?

326

I'm doing well.

327

How can I help you?

328

I'd like to check out, please.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
