Hotel Shikrabadi

Down on Goverdhan Vilas Main Road, our building stands right where the traffic starts to pick up toward the highway. We’ve been here at Hotel Shikrabadi for a long time, watching the city grow around us. The 313002 area is different now than it was when we started. Our lobby isn’t huge, but there is enough space for a few people to wait while we find their registration cards. We still use a lot of paper logs because the computer system we bought last year crashes sometimes. The rooms have large windows, which is nice for light, even if the view is mostly just the main road and the shops across the way. Our cleaning staff works hard, though they sometimes forget to leave extra towels unless you ask them twice. We grow a few plants in pots near the entrance to make the concrete look a bit better. The morning shift usually starts with a lot of tea and checking the water tanks on the roof. It is a simple life running a hotel on a main road like this. You meet people from all over who are just passing through. The walls are painted a light color to keep the place feeling cool during the summer heat. We try to keep things organized, but on busy weekends, it can get a bit chaotic with everyone checking out at once. It is just a normal, busy place.
