The Central Court Hotel

You can find us at 6-1-71 in Lakdi-Ka-Pul. It is a busy part of the city and the noise from the traffic never really stops. We hear horns honking and buses pulling up all day long. Being at The Central Court Hotel means we see all kinds of travelers. Some are here for work and carry heavy laptops, while others are just visiting family and have kids running around the lobby. The building has been here for some time. We spend a lot of our day checking people in and out, making sure the keys are where they should be, and answering the phone when it rings. It rings a lot. Sometimes the elevator is a bit slow when everyone is trying to use it at once, but it gets there eventually. The staff here mostly lives nearby, so we know the shortcuts around the neighborhood when the main roads get blocked up. We don't have a big fancy lobby with waterfalls or anything like that. It is just a place to stay with clean sheets and a roof over your head. In the evenings, the lights from the street shops come on and the whole area feels different. We usually sit behind the desk and watch the people go by outside. It’s a lot of work keeping a hotel running, but we are used to the rhythm of it by now after all these years of operation.
