arrival January 30

That works. Bank transfers can be very tricky across country borders. Sometimes banks on both sides delay payment. I'd like to warn you. The hotels much prefer visa, master card, and american express.

If a hotel has any kind of tourist business, you might want to sent the enquiry in english as well. THat way, if they have English writing skills, you'll get an answer you can read. Still, its polite to use spanish.

One emendation. you might want to say habatacion sencillo(single)
