I have stayed there a couple of times in the past six months. Its an ok property, but nothing compared to the JWM in Mumbai.
I have been able to get a US$120 a night rate both times, so your call if that is worth the 20,000 points. I don't recall the taxes, but $50 is very high and I probably would have remembered that.
I had only had king beds, so cannot comment on the two fulls.
The hotel is kind of out of the way, it is South of the main tourist areas, e.g. the red fort. My office is in Gurgaon which is about an hour away in normal (i.e. very congested) traffic. If your business is in Gurgaon, I would recommend the new Hilton Trident property. I have not stayed there, but I have had lunch there and it was a beautiful hotel.
There is no shuttle service to the hotel, but the hotel arranges for a car to pick you up as I understand it. I always have a car and driver the entire time I am there, so I have not used the hotels service. (You may want to check into this, it is very inexpensive).
Please email me or post any other questions.

Has anyone been there? Any opinions? Any other suggestions? Is it worth th 20,000 points for one night?
The rewards CSR thought that taxes on the room for one night was about $50, which would have to be paid in addition to the points redeemed. Can anyone confirm if taxes really are that high for a one-night stay?
The room options were king size or 2 twin beds. I think North American Marriotts have 2 full size beds? Is this just a difference in terms, or are the beds really twin size as defined in America?
Is there a shuttle service from the airport? If not, what is the best way of getting here?
The reservations was made in my name for 2 guests using points from my MR account. However, if my guest arrives earlier than me, will they let them check-in if I call the property and let them know?
