 – Corporate Apartments – A US branch of a Tokyo firm says a
corporate apartment can save as much as 40% over a hotel
room.
Hotels that continue to increase rates will most likely lose
business to budget hotels, corporate apartments, etc. Business
was bad for hotels after the terrorism wave, but it has been
rebounding. So, to make up for their economic damage in the
past, most major hotels are now proposing double-digit
increases. Because of such a trend, even some relatively modest
hotels have raised rates.
Paying ending $450 a night for a simple room in Manhattan
stands out on a corporate expense report, ending up more
costly than airfare in some cases. Airlines long to raise their
rates, but increased capacity and severe competition prevents
them from doing so. Hotels, on the other hand, can’t expand
capacity easily, so increased demand tends to drive prices up.

198. What does Mr. Jackson request in his e-mail?

To Whom It May Concern:
I stayed at the Wyndham Hotel from January 12th to 15th.
Because I was in a hurry to catch the 7 A.M. airport shuttle, I
used the in-room express check-out on the television. At the
time, I didn’t carefully review the charges. However, after
receiving the itemized bill via mail at my office, I noticed an
inaccurate charge.
At the time I made my reservation online, there was a
promotion for online reservation for free shuttle service to and
from the airport. However, my bill shows that I was charged for
a round trip on the shuttle. Therefore, I would like the
overcharged amount credited back to my company credit card.
As always, I had a pleasant stay at the Wyndham Hotel. I am
sure this mistake was just an oversight. I appreciate your
attention to this matter and I’m confident it will be resolved in a
timely fashion.
          (A) An apology
          (B) A free night’s stay at the hotel
          (C) A complimentary meal

199. What is implied about Mr. Jackson?
          (A) He was not happy with the dry cleaning service.
          (B) He has stayed at the Wyndham Hotel on more than one
occasion.
          (C) He missed his flight home from New York.
          (D) He does not plan to stay at the Wyndham Hotel in the
future.

Carl Jackson
          (A) The hotel doesn’t offer room service.
          (B) The hotel is located very close to the airport.
