I've made a transcription (it's from CK):
K - What is your number, Terran?
nuq mI'lIj, tera'ngan?
T - I'm guest number forty-two.
meb loSmaH cha' jIH.
K - We're expecting you.
pIpIH.
- Your room is number twenty-three.
pa' cha'maH wej 'oH pa'lIj'e'.
- The bed is very hard.
letqu' QongDaq.
- The room has no view.
pa'vo' pagh leghlu'.
- Checkout time is 5 am.

DaH yIDIl!
- Pick up your baggage and go to your room!
teplIj yIwoH 'ej pa'lIjDaq yIjaH!
The relevant line is {pa'vo' pagh leghlu'} "From the room, one sees
nothing", i.e. "The room has no view". It appears to support the
opinion that {-vo'} can and indeed does mark the place where {legh}
occurs. Interesting!
