Hotel Kanchi (Geetha Hotels Pvt Ltd)

Hotel Kanchi is over on Ethiraj Salai, right in that busy part of the city. We’ve been part of Geetha Hotels Pvt Ltd for quite a while now. If you walk out the front door, you’re basically right in the middle of everything, which is why it gets pretty loud with all the traffic and people going to work. The building itself is just an older place, nothing too fancy to look at, but it does what it needs to do. Most of the folks who come here are just looking for a spot to sleep while they handle their business in town. We keep the rooms tidy enough and try to make sure the fans and lights are working like they should. Some of the staff have been here for years, so they know the neighborhood inside and out. It’s not like those big glass hotels you see in the pictures; it’s more of a regular spot where the lift might take a second to arrive and the hallway carpet shows where people have walked. We mostly spend our days checking folks in, answering the phone, and making sure the water is running. It’s just a basic operation on number 28. You’ll see the sign from the road, usually surrounded by parked bikes and people heading to the nearby offices. We don’t have any big speeches to give about what we do, we just open up every morning and wait for whoever is coming off the bus or train.
