Hotel Rameeguestline, Tirupati

I am S. Raghu, the resident manager over here at Hotel Rameeguestline in Tirupati. Our place is located right on Karakambadi Road. If you are coming into town, you’ll find us pretty easily. It is a busy road, and we see a lot of people passing through for the temple or just for work. Managing a hotel like this keeps me on my feet from early morning until late at night. We have rooms to look after and guests who arrive at all sorts of odd hours. It’s not always easy keeping everything running smooth, especially when the water pressure acts up or a light bulb goes out unexpectedly, but we get it done. The staff here are mostly local guys who know the area well. We don't try to be something we aren't. We just provide a place to sleep and rest up. The 515701 area gets quite hot, so we make sure the fans and ACs are working as they should. My desk is usually covered in booking slips and maintenance lists. Sometimes it gets a bit noisy with the traffic outside, but that is just life on Karakambadi Road. I’ve been here long enough that most of the taxi drivers know me by name. We just focus on getting the rooms ready for the next person walking through the door. It’s honest work and keeps the days moving fast. There is always something to fix or someone to help, and that is just fine with us.
