大体、夕食後にお部屋に伺います。ご希望の時間があれば、承りますよ。

Generally, we'll come to your room after dinner. If you have a preferred time, we can arrange it.
Gesture & etiquette
Slight bow, then gesture around the room with an open hand, indicating sleeping arrangements.
In some ryokans, futons are laid out at a set time (e.g., during dinner). Be flexible with timings, but it's okay to ask.
