7.You know what it's like.You've just arrived in Toronto after a long flight,and all you really want to do is to lie down and relax in your hotel room.But first you have to make a few quick notes for tomorrow's meeting,then check your e-mails,and perhaps print out a few things.And you need to make a few local telephone calls,and one call home to your family.
And what do you usually get?Your desk is just about big enough for a cup of coffee; there's no desk lamp; the stationery (办公用品) is a couple of sheets of headed notepaper; and a pen doesn't work.Printing has to be arranged with the Reception,and when you try to use your cell phone you find that it won't work in Canada.
Well,Harmony is different.Just tell us in advance what you're going to need,and we'll see that it's waiting for you when you arrive.There will be a printer in your room if you want one,and a cell phone that really works.All you have to pay for is the calls you make.
We can also arrange a room for business meetings,and,using the very best employment agency,even supply a secretary to take minutes.All we ask is a few days'notice.
All our-rooms are of the same high standard,and we guarantee not to increase prices in the next twelve months.But book now,because we're already filling up fast,and we'd hate 1:0disappoint you.
Harmony-the hotel you ye always wanted; but never been able to find-until now
