qaStaHvIS qep'a' qepHom joq motlh mebpa'mey Dab jeSwI'pu'.

{nuq DaDab?} - likely reply is "Best Western" or whatever

I know you'll probably point out the difference between {nuq DaDab?}
(general truth) and {nuq DaDabtaH?} (continuous aspect) but remember this
is aimed at beginners.

I want to differentiate "where are you staying?" from "where did you arrive
from?"
