Park Plaza Royal Palms, Mumbai

This place is tucked away in Aarey Milk Colony, Goregaon East. The address is 169, and it is a bit different from the rest of Mumbai because of all the trees and greenery around here. It is not as loud as the main city, which is why people seem to come out this way. We have been operating here for a while, dealing with the daily tasks of running a hotel. The building sits in a spot that feels a bit more open than the crowded streets of the city center. We spend our time checking in guests and making sure the grounds are kept up. It is a large property, so there is always something that needs fixing or painting. We see families coming in on the weekends and business people during the week. The staff is used to the pace here. We do not have a big corporate office telling us what to do every minute. We just manage the rooms and the space we have. Sometimes the monkeys from the colony come near the windows, which is just part of living in Aarey. We keep things straightforward and do not try to be something we are not. It is a solid building with plenty of space. People usually find us when they want to be near Goregaon but away from the heaviest traffic. We just keep the doors open and do our work. It is a quiet life out here compared to the rest of Mumbai.
