I have found that massages in North Indian hotels tend to be quite disappointing... had an awful massage at the Taj Bengal in Calcutta. But in the South (Kerala, etc), they can be exceptional. However, nothing compares to a good Thai-style massage in South-East Asia... and good Reflexology in Thailand!
Your comment about the hotel capex budget on the PC desktop had me laughing... astonishing! I guess it just shows that things are just a little bit "looser" or processes less closely managed in places like India, despite all of the signs of "ISO-9002 compliant" you see all over India.

- the massage given at the health club was "not very good" as judged by my girlfriend who tends to take one wherever we go for a few days - she still goes on about the one at the Sheraton Laguna Nusa Dua in Bali which is apparently the best she has ever had.
- the internet terminal available in the Towers Lounge had a very intermittent connection, it was also overloaded with all sorts of software which it seemed users had accumulated over quite some time, and also copies of lots of documents which people had left there, including a number of documents on the desktop which I would have though the management would prefer not to be there (such as the detailed capex budget for the hotel for the next year).
