Hotel Fortune Pandiyan

You will find Hotel Fortune Pandiyan at 3/368 Susee Colony in Madurai. This is in Tamil Nadu, 625 018. It is a hotel, so the lights are almost always on. We have people checking in at all hours, arriving with their suitcases from the station or the airport. The building is a bit of a landmark in Susee Colony. It’s not a brand-new place, but we keep it running. There are rooms to clean, laundry to do, and the kitchen is always making something for the guests. We have a lobby where people sit and wait for their rides. It’s not like those shiny corporate hotels you see in magazines. It’s a bit more lived-in. The staff here has been around for a long time. We know which pipes leak and which rooms get the best breeze in the evening. We don't use scripts when we talk to guests. We just tell them where the good local food is or how to get to the temple. The daily routine is a lot of scrubbing and checking registers. It’s a physical job. When the monsoon comes, we have to make sure the mats are out so the floors don't get slippery. We are just a local hotel trying to keep the doors open and the beds made. It’s a lot of work but it’s what we do.
