Gateway Hotel(A Taj Business Hotel)

Our hotel, Gateway Hotel, is located right at Athwalines in Surat. It’s near Parle Point and very close to the Ambika Niketan temple. People who know Surat know this area well. It’s a Taj Business Hotel, but here on the ground, we are just the staff making sure the rooms are ready. The lobby is usually busy with people checking in or out. We see a lot of travelers coming through for work or just to see the city. The location is quite central. We have been here for years. Every morning starts the same way with the breakfast rush and getting the day's schedule ready. It’s a big building, but we try to keep things feeling normal. Sometimes the rain here gets heavy and we have to make sure everything stays dry. We aren't really into big speeches. We just show up for our shifts and do the tasks. The view around Parle Point is nice. Working here means meeting a lot of different people from all over. Some stay for a night, others stay for a week. We just keep the place running. It’s a lot of walking back and forth through the hallways. That’s basically what happens here every day. We’ve gotten used to the rhythm of the hotel life. It never really stops. We often talk about the local food during our lunch breaks. The kitchen stays pretty busy even when the hotel is quiet. It's just a steady flow. We have a small staff room.
