I was last at the Maurya in August. Can't compare to other properties in Delhi since I prefer SPG, but my thoughts were:

Pluses: free happy hour drinks in hotel pub for SPG platinums, updated modern rooms, pleasant AND competent staff, good location for early AM departures from DEL

Negatives: a bit stuffy for Delhi, but other properties could be similar
