This is a true statement. When Philip says that he was told that Maria was busy, Maria says: "No, no. She got tonight confused with tomorrow night".
Maria actually suggests meeting in the hotel "lobby". The lobby is the entry area of a building, generally located just beyond the front door.
This is a true statement. When Philip proposes dinner, Maria responds: "I'd love to", meaning that she looks forward to meeting Philip for dinner. This tells us that Maria is "eager" to meet Philip, or that she is excited to meet him.
