Hotel accomodation, stay. Your initial thoughts when you start planning to get to any place. When you plan for Delhi, you start thinking of where to stay, whether the place is too far away from the airport? Does the hotel provide airport pick up? Can I get a decent place at a cheap rate and not in Paharganj?

Me & My Friend had plans to travel Delhi for a Business meet, then to take part in the Asia's Biggest Auto Expo to be held between 10th-17th of Jan 2008 at Pragathi Maidan & finally last but not the least to have a good week end travelling to Agra & back & to visit Historical Places of Delhi that we had studied during our High School Days.....
