Lotus Hotel

We have been here at No. 560/59A on the South Sadar Bazar side for a good while now. It’s right near the V.I.P. Road so you can always hear the traffic hum in the background. My morning usually starts with checking the guest register and seeing if the water pumps are working right. The lobby is not very big but it gets the job done when people are checking in from the morning trains. We have a few staff who have been here for years and we usually sit near the entrance having tea when things are quiet. The rooms are basic, just what you need for a night or two. I often find myself fixing a leaky tap or making sure the fans are spinning without making too much noise. The market outside is always crowded with people selling vegetables and clothes, which makes the street quite lively. Sometimes the power goes out for an hour and we have to get the backup started. It’s a lot of work keeping things clean with all the dust from the main road. We don’t have any big signs or anything, just the one out front that flickers a bit. It is a simple place to run and we know most of the shopkeepers around here by name. It gets really busy during the wedding season because of the location. We just try to keep the floors swept and the doors locked at night.
