Dear Hotel Team, I would like to book a double room for two adults from 12 to 15 July. Do you have a room available for these three nights? Could you tell me the total price and whether breakfast is included? We expect to arrive at about nine in the evening because we are travelling by train. Please let us know if this arrival time is possible. I would be grateful if you could confirm the details by email. Kind regards, Mia Carter
