What to ask in one phone call

• Ask all at once: whether one group uses the whole building, and whether the entrance, kitchen and bathroom are shared with other guests.
• Also ask how many people can stay at most, whether the room has cooking utensils, how many cars can park, and whether pets and children are accepted.
• If check-in or parking is blank on the lodging card, confirm it in the same call.
