The Park or The Metropolitan in Delhi?
 

Hello Asia experts,
I am making my first trip to India in October. i'll be joining a group at The Park in Connaught Place for 2 or 3 nights, but am arriving two nights early (jet lag recovery and/or travel delays). Should I go to The Park or somewhere less expensive (guide recommended Metropolitan-$108 vs. $185ish as being close) and make the move on tour start day? BTW, I usually book through the hotel's website rather than discount sites, so I emailed the Metroplitan to ask if they would match Expedia's quote, but no answer as yet.

The Park is fine. I have stayed there. It's a hassle to change hotels. If you really need to save the $160 then go for it, otherwise, stick with the Park.

We loved The Park hotel. It is modern, in a good location, and has a great pool and restaurant for the times when you want to relax a bit. Have a great trip!

Thanks, guys-it was kind of my instinct that changing wouldn't be worth it; in the grand scheme of things, financially or otherwise. I went back and checked the itinerary, and we're only there two nights, which is the longest stay of the two week tour. Seems like if the purpose of going early is some down time, it makes sense to settle in and stay put.

Stay at The Park. It is centrally located in Connaught Place so you can wander around but be very careful of the touts operating in this area.
The food is very good too
