registration desk
Where guests sign
A registration desk is where you check in upon arrival at a hotel, conference, hospital, or similar venue.
Staff there handle paperwork, verify reservations, issue badges or room keys, and answer initial questions.
The line at the registration desk stretched across the lobby.
