Not sure how to start? Tell me what you're trying to get done and I'll help you turn it into a clear request.

Goal: Check the price of one specific hotel for my dates, and make sure it's the right hotel.

Quick check first: What's the hotel's name, town and address, and which dates?

What I need from you:
- Hotel name ([HOTEL]), town ([TOWN]) and street address if you have it
- Check-in and check-out dates, guests and rooms

Rules:
- Before you check prices, confirm the hotel's town and address on its page match mine. Many hotels share a name.
- Start your reply with the full name and address of the hotel you found, so I can spot a mismatch.
- If more than one hotel matches the name, list them and ask me which one.
- Check the hotel's own site plus one booking site, for the same room type and dates.
- Don't book.

Output: The confirmed hotel name and address, the price from each source for my dates, room type, and links.

If any of this is unclear, tell me what you have and I'll help fill the gaps.

You'll know it worked when: the address in the reply is the hotel you meant, with a price you can open and check.

Check the price of this hotel in this town.
