Hotel Shivalik View

This building is located right at 9 Sector 17, which is very close to the ISBT. Being next to the bus stand means we see a lot of travelers who are just arriving or getting ready to leave. The 160017 area stays busy with the sound of buses and people moving their bags around. We’ve had this place for years, and the walls have been repainted more times than I can count. The rooms are basic because most of our guests just need a place to sleep before a morning bus. We keep the linens clean and make sure the ceiling fans don't wobble too much. Sometimes the lobby gets crowded when a big group arrives all at once, and we have to scramble to get everyone checked in. My brother handles the night shift, and he usually has the radio playing low at the desk. We don't have a big fancy restaurant, just a place where you can get a hot cup of tea or some toast. The tiles in the bathroom are a bit dated, maybe from the eighties, but they are scrubbed well. It’s a practical spot for someone on the move. We try to keep the noise from the bus station down by keeping the heavy curtains closed in the front rooms. It’s just a standard hotel for people who need convenience above everything else while they are traveling through.
