      time. There are no "motels", as we in the US understand that word, where you have a chance of
      getting accommodations without reservations. In the major cities (Moscow, St. Petersburg and
      the capitals of the NIS countries), there are many Western-owned and operated hotels which
      offer all the comforts and services we are accustomed to. You'll feel quite at home
      there.</p><p>When you arrive, tell the desk clerk that you have a reservation:</p><div class="informalexample"><div class="informaltable"><table style="width: 100%; border: none;"><colgroup><col/><col/></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center; "><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Для меня забронирован
                номер.</em></span></td><td style="text-align: center; ">I have a reservation.</td></tr></tbody></table></div></div><p>When checking in, you'll be asked to show your passport for registration purposes. In the
      large cities, the desk clerk will give you а <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">пропуск</em></span></strong></span></em></span>/<span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">карта

      on it) together with your <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">ключ</em></span></strong></span> room key. Keep this card handy as often you'll be asked
      to show it to the doorman to get in, especially if you return late in the evening. Most of the
      major hotels have the magnetic key-card systems, though in the smaller cities you'll get a
      real key. In hotels in the smaller cities when you go out, you will probably be asked to leave
      your key with the woman responsible for your floor. She'll ask you to show your room card when
      you return and want to pick up your key. This procedure is less common, however, in the larger
      cities, though you will have а <span class="bold"><strong>дежурная</strong></span> floor lady. These are
      good people to get to know as they can help with all kinds of things, such as getting laundry
      done, bringing you <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">кипяток для
          чая</em></span></strong></span> hot water for tea in the evening, helping with all sorts of
      problems you might encounter. They do not expect monetary tips, though a little gift will
      always be appreciated.</p><p>Here are a few words you will find helpful during your stay:</p><div class="informaltable"><table style="width: 100%; border: none;"><colgroup><col/><col/><col/><col/></colgroup><tbody><tr><td><span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">дежурная</em></span></strong></span></td><td>floor lady</td><td><span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">горничная</em></span></strong></span></td><td>maid</td></tr><tr><td><span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">администратор</em></span></strong></span></td><td>hotel manager</td><td><span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">номер</em></span></strong></span></td><td>room</td></tr><tr><td><span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">этаж</em></span></strong></span></td><td>floor</td><td><span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">лифт</em></span></strong></span></td><td>elevator</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div style="text-align: center; " class="mediaobject"><img style="text-align: middle; " src="Images/FsiRussianFast-Lessons9-11-19.png"/></div><p>Most major hotels offer you the following services:</p><div class="informaltable"><table style="width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; border-top: 1px solid ; border-bottom: 1px solid ; border-left: 1px solid ; border-right: 1px solid ; "><colgroup><col/><col/></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-right: 1px solid ; border-bottom: 1px solid ; "><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">почта</em></span></p></td><td style="border-bottom: 1px solid ; "><p>post office</p></td></tr><tr><td style="border-right: 1px solid ; border-bottom: 1px solid ; "><p><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">ресторан</em></span></p></td><td style="border-bottom: 1px solid ; "><p>restaurant (breakfast is included in the room price in most
