Is the with right in the sentence?
Thanks
Several times we asked someone for assistance using the phone, or in various hotels, enquired with the front desk about using the phone. |

In American English, it is more usual to say "... inquired at the front desk."
In the dictionary, it says that enquire is used in British English. I don't know if they say "enquire with" or "enquire at." |
