How would you ask someone at the reception desk of a hotel to give you a wake-up call at a certain time the next morning? I usually ask:

"Could you set the alarm-clock in my room for ....... tomorrow morning?"

But it now sounds incorrect to me, as they don't really wake you up by setting alarm clocks, but by simply making a phone call.

What would you ask?

This will work:

"May I have a wake-up call at _:__(AM/PM) tomorrow?"

You may want to specify AM/PM if you are waking up exceptionally early or late, just to make sure they call at the correct time.
