Holiday Inn

Our place is at 5C, J&K Pocket in Dilshad Garden, which is a busy part of Delhi. It’s not where you’d expect to find a name like Holiday Inn tucked away, but here we are. The streets around here are always full of people and scooters zipping past. We spend a lot of time making sure the rooms are ready and the hallways stay clean. It’s a bit of a maze in this pocket of the garden, so people sometimes call us up asking for directions when they’re just a block away. We don't have a massive grand entrance with fountains or anything like that. It’s more of a practical building where travelers can put their bags down and get some sleep. The lobby is small but we keep it tidy, and there’s usually a newspaper lying around for anyone who wants to read it. Our staff comes from all over the local area, so there’s always someone chatting in the break room about their commute or what they’re having for lunch. The elevators are a little slow, so most of us just take the stairs if we’re only going up a floor or two. It’s a loud, lively neighborhood, and we’ve become a part of the local scenery over the years. We just try to make sure things run smoothly and that the guests have what they need without making a big fuss about the whole thing.
