Giving Direction to a Hotel Guest

Dialogue 1

Guest: Good evening, I’d like to walk to the Blue Heron restaurant tonight. Could you guide me on how to get there?

Receptionist: Of course, it’s a lovely walk. Head out the front door and take a left on Main Street. Continue for two blocks until you reach City Park. You’ll see the park on your right. Cross the park, and you’ll find Maple Avenue on the other side. The Blue Heron is right there on the corner, across from the fountain.

Dialogue 2

Guest: Hi there, I’m looking to find my way to the Blue Heron. Can you point me in the right direction?

Receptionist: Certainly, it’s not far. When you exit, turn right and go down Elm Road for about three blocks. You’ll pass a small bookstore on your left and a flower shop on your right. When you see the statue of the town founder, take a left onto Oak Lane. Walk straight down Oak Lane, and the restaurant will be on your left, just past the park’s entrance.

Dialogue 3

Guest: Could you tell me how to get to the Blue Heron from here on foot?

Receptionist: Of course! When you leave the hotel, go right and walk down Riverside Drive. Follow the road as it bends left and becomes Pine Street. You’ll walk alongside the river and a series of art installations. After you pass the big mural, make a right on Willow Street. The restaurant is halfway down the block, next to the park with the large metal sculptures.

Dialogue 4

Guest: I’m hoping to dine at the Blue Heron tonight. What’s the best way to get there by walking?

Receptionist: A great choice! Go out to the main street from our lobby and turn left. Walk along the street until you get to the third traffic light, which is Birch Avenue. Turn right on Birch and keep walking until you see the Central Park on your left. The Blue Heron is just after the park, on the opposite side of the street.

Dialogue 5

Guest: I’ve heard a lot about the Blue Heron and would like to check it out. How do I walk there?

Receptionist: You’ll enjoy it, it’s a nice stroll. Head out and take a left onto Jefferson Ave. Walk for about four blocks. You’ll pass by a library and a vintage cinema. Keep an eye out for the mural of a whale on your left – that’s your cue to make a right onto Waterfront Street. Walk down, and as you reach the park, the Blue Heron is just on the right, across from the park’s botanical gardens.

Dialogue 6

Guest: Excuse me, could you give me walking directions to the Blue Heron restaurant?

Receptionist: Absolutely, it’s an easy walk. Exit the hotel and turn left on Franklin Street. Go straight until you hit the roundabout, then take the second exit onto Crescent Road. Continue on Crescent Road, and you’ll see the Central Park to your left. The Blue Heron is right after the park, on the same side as the park’s rose garden.
