Haryana Hotel

Haryana Hotel is over at 93/94 Sector 17, right near where the old KC Theatre used to be. Chandigarh is a planned city, but our corner feels like it has a bit more history to it. I’ve been managing things here for quite a while, and it’s a lot of walking up and down the stairs to check on rooms. The building is older, so there’s always a tap that needs a new washer or a lightbulb that has flickered out. We get travelers who are looking for something basic and affordable in the middle of the city. The mornings are usually the loudest because that’s when everyone is checking out and the cleaning staff is moving around with the laundry. I sit at the front desk most of the day, talking to people and handling the ledger. It isn't a high-end luxury spot, just a plain hotel where the sheets are clean and the fans work. Sector 17 is a busy place, and being near the theatre means there’s always something happening outside. Sometimes I stand out front just to watch the crowds for a bit before going back to the paperwork. It’s a steady life, even if it gets a bit repetitive after a few years. We just try to keep things running smoothly without making a big fuss about it. Checking the registry and answering the phone takes up most of my time during the day.
