The Chancery Hotel

The Chancery Hotel is located over in Butterahalli, right near the Virgo Nagar Post in Bangalore. It is a decent-sized building that has seen plenty of people come and go over the years. We have a lot of rooms to look after, which keeps the housekeeping staff busy from early in the morning until late at night. The lobby is a bit older now, with some worn-out chairs where guests sit while they wait for their taxis to arrive. Being on this side of town means we get a mix of travelers and people here for business. The road outside is always under some kind of repair, so it gets quite dusty, and we have to wipe down the front windows pretty much every day. We have a kitchen that turns out breakfast and dinner, and the smell of sambar usually drifts through the hallways in the morning. Running a hotel is mostly about dealing with small problems, like a television remote that won't work or a guest who lost their room key. We don't have a big corporate team running things; it is just us, the staff, trying to keep the place tidy and the water hot for the showers. Some days are more hectic than others, especially when a big group arrives all at once, but we just handle the check-ins one by one. It’s a plain, honest business and we just try to make sure people have a quiet place to sleep.
