information desks
Public assistance counters
Information desks are staffed stations in public buildings where visitors can ask questions and get directions.
You find them in airports, hospitals, museums, hotels, and large stores.
The person behind an information desk typically knows the layout of the building and can point you toward what you're looking for: I stopped at the information desk to ask where the restrooms were.
