The Central Park Hotel

The hotel is located at 942 in the Sector 7 Extension of Gurgaon. If you’ve been around this part of Haryana, you know it’s a mix of old houses and newer developments. The office where we handle the management side of things is right here in the building. It’s often quite busy with the laundry service coming in and out and the kitchen staff prepping for the day. We have a small desk near the back where we keep track of the room bookings and the billing. The floor is that hard tile that’s easy to clean but doesn't look like much. We deal with a lot of mundane things like fixing a leaky tap in room twelve or making sure the breakfast supplies arrived on time. The dust in Gurgaon is always a problem, so we’re constantly wiping down the surfaces. We don't have a big corporate lobby feel back here in the office area; it’s mostly just us, a couple of computers, and some old chairs. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to wait for the generator to kick in, which is just part of life here. We take turns sitting at the front when the main receptionist needs a break. It’s a lot of work keeping a hotel running, and most of it isn't very exciting. We just try to make sure the rooms are ready when people show up and that the bills are correct when they leave.
