Hotel Express 4 Star

Hotel Express 4 Star is located in Vadodara, over in the Subhanpura area. If you know the Samata flats, we are just right behind those. The address is A/14 Shree Harikrishnanagar. It’s a fairly quiet pocket of the city, which is nice because Vadodara can get pretty loud with all the traffic. I’ve been working around here for a while and I’ve seen the neighborhood change quite a bit. There used to be more open space, but now it’s all buildings and shops. The hotel itself is just a place for people to stay when they’re passing through for work or visiting family. We don’t have any of those fancy slogans. We just make sure the rooms are tidy and the lights work. I usually spend my time at the front desk or checking on the laundry. Sometimes the lift acts up, but we get someone out to fix it pretty quick. My morning starts with a strong cup of coffee while I look at the guest list for the day. It’s a 4-star place, but we don't act like we’re better than anyone else. It’s just a business we run to pay the bills. The staff here are mostly guys from the nearby villages who moved to the city for work. We talk about cricket a lot during the slow hours. It’s a decent life here in Subhanpura, and we just keep things running as best as we can without making things complicated.
