The Park Hotel

The Park Hotel sits right here in Ganjam, Orissa. It’s been part of the local scene for a while now. We’re located in a spot that’s easy to find if you’re traveling through this part of the state. The building isn't anything too modern, but it’s sturdy and does the job for anyone needing a place to stay the night. We keep the rooms plain. There’s a bed, a small table, and usually a window that looks out onto the street or the back area. Most of the people who work here grew up in the area, some even finished their 10th grade at the local H.S.C. Board school nearby before coming to help out here. It’s a family-run kind of feeling even if it’s called a hotel. In the mornings, you can hear the sounds of the town waking up. We don't have a big fancy lobby with marble floors. It’s mostly just a front desk where someone sits to hand over the keys. We see a lot of people passing through Ganjam on business or just visiting relatives. The weather can get quite humid being in Orissa, so we try to keep things as cool as possible inside. We don't have a website with lots of photos. Most folks just show up or call ahead to see if there is a room free. It’s a basic place for a basic price, and we like keeping it that way for the community in Orissa.
