Ritz Carlson

Our place is on the ground floor along the service road in Kharadi. It’s a growing part of the city with all the new buildings going up. We decided on the name Ritz Carlson just because we liked it. We aren't a big fancy hotel or anything like that. It’s a simple business. Being on the service road means we get people who are trying to avoid the main traffic or just stopping for a quick visit. The space is a bit small and we have to be careful how we arrange things so people can move around. We don't have a lot of staff. Usually, it's just me and one other person handling everything. We spend a lot of time looking out the window at the construction across the street. It’s been going on for months. We try to keep the place looking decent, though the floor gets dirty quickly with all the dust from the road. We don't have a polished website or any big ads. We just rely on people seeing us as they drive by. It’s a practical way to run things. We open up early and stay until the sun goes down. It’s a long day but we are used to it by now. The streetlights outside flicker a bit in the evening, but it helps people find the turn-off. We keep a small stool by the door for anyone who needs a quick rest while waiting for their ride.
