Hotel Mercure

You can find us over at 21, Court Lodge Road here in Ahmedabad. Hotel Mercure has been part of this street for a good bit. It’s a busy spot, especially with people coming and going all the time. The lobby gets quite crowded in the afternoons when everyone is checking in. We try to keep the place tidy, but with so many people, there is always a bit of a mess somewhere. We have been working at this address for years and know all the little shortcuts around the neighborhood. Ahmedabad is a hot city, so we spend a lot of time making sure the fans and cooling are working right. The staff mostly lives nearby, so we walk or take a rickshaw to get here. It is not like those giant hotels you see in movies; it is more of a practical place for people who need a bed for the night. We handle the laundry, fix the lights when they flicker, and make sure there is enough water. Sometimes the street noise from Court Lodge Road leaks in, but that is just part of being in the city. The zip code is 939110 if you are looking us up on a map. We are just a group of people trying to keep a hotel running without too much fuss. It is hard work but it keeps us busy. We don't have fancy speeches, just the rooms and the front desk. We are just here doing our thing every day.
