hotelkeeper

And hotelkeepers complained of canceled bookings, empty rooms and a precipitous drop in revenues over the weekend in a city heavily dependent on tourism.

Now and then a startled hotelkeeper would object to having the birds register there.

The posters often obscured the names of guests in the ledgers from public view and helped hotelkeepers survey their clientele, ensuring that no criminals were in their rooms.

Another pitfall — and opportunity — for harried hotelkeepers is the use of automated messages.

They unload in a town called Epernay, and the hotelkeeper brings wine and chicken legs and broth that Werner manages to keep down.
