Hotel Laxmi Palace

Our hotel sits right on the road between Kekri and Kota. It is a long stretch of highway, so we get a lot of drivers and families passing through who just need to stop for a break. We’ve been here at this 305404 zip code spot for a good while now. It’s not a very complicated business. We have some rooms and a bit of space for parking. It gets dusty out here because of all the trucks going by, so we are always sweeping the front step. The building itself is just a standard block, nothing like the palaces you see in magazines, despite the name. We just liked how it sounded when we opened. It is usually just one or two of us at the desk. If we are in the back, there is a bell you can ring. We try to keep the water running hot and the beds made up fresh for whoever stops in. Some nights it’s completely full and other nights it’s just us and the crickets. We don’t do any of that online booking stuff much, mostly people just pull over when they see our sign from the road. It is a long drive to the next major town, so we are a handy place to have around. We just provide a basic service for those on the move. Nothing more, nothing less than a roof over your head for the night.
