Riyaz Hotel

Our place is right at Karamchand Chowk in Badi Omti. If you know Jabalpur, you know how busy this area gets, especially being right opposite the Mohammadi Gate. Riyaz Hotel isn't a massive skyscraper, just a solid building that's been standing here while the streets around it changed. We see all sorts of people walking by from morning until late at night. The noise of the traffic is just part of the background music for us now. We have rooms for travelers who need a spot to rest their heads without spending too much. It's a practical setup. We don't use those scented candles or anything like that; it smells more like the tea shops and the street outside. Sometimes the plumbing acts up because the building is older, but we get it fixed as soon as we can. The guys working here have been around for years, so they know exactly which floorboards creak. It's a bit of a maze if you aren't used to it, but you get the hang of it after a day. We keep the sheets clean and the fans spinning. That's about it really. We aren't trying to be the fanciest place in Jabalpur, just a place that's there when you need a room near the gate. It gets loud during festival times, but that's just life in this part of town. Sometimes we sit on the steps and watch the evening rush.
