How do I create a fairly simple hotel booking system?

I am looking to create a simple booking system for a hotel with 9 rooms.
With the current system, customers telephone and ask for the dates they
require and their required occupancy. This is looked up in a paper based
calendar book and the customer is booked into a room for their required dates
if a room is available. I then send a hand typed letter with an invoice.
I would like to create a computer based system revolving around the same
principles as the current system. Where by i would like to have mail merge
letters and computer calculated invoices printed off via the database. The
database should show which customers are booked into what rooms. Therefore i
would like to be able to query this, so when a customer rings, I can check if
there is a room available.
I already have some limited knowledge of MS Access and any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Mimer SQL used to ship with a sample database for booking hotel rooms.
