🏛️ Cultural Notes In temple towns like Tirupati, Bhadrachalam, and Srisailam, there are దేవస్థానం వసతి గృహాలు (devasthanam guest houses) which are clean, affordable, and run by the temple trust. In Araku, Lambasingi, and other hill stations, resorts (రిసార్ట్ లు) are more common than hotels. Always take the hotel's card/phone number when you check in — easy to show an auto driver if you get lost.

❌ Common Mistakes Not confirming check-out time — most Telugu hotels have 12 PM check-out. Asking for "లగేజ్" (wrong) — it is సామాను or use English "లగేజ్" with Telugu articles. Forgetting to ask about hot water timing — it is not always 24 hours in budget hotels. Paying before inspecting the final bill for restaurant/laundry charges. Calling staff "ఏయ్" — always use "రిసెప్షనిస్ట్ గారు" / "సార్". ✏️ Practice Exercises Translate: "I have a booking for 2 nights in a deluxe room." Fill in: "సీ ____ గది కావాలండి."
