So here I am right now sitting in the Oberoi lounge at DEL, waiting with my wife for my CO flight back to Newark (15 hours!).

My wife and I just came back from Ananda (in Rishikesh) this afternoon, and needed a place to crash in Delhi for a few hours prior to boarding the 11:55 PM flight.

The Imperial and the Oberoi were booked solid, but I figured that Centurion could do something for us (after all, what am I paying $2500 per year for).

So I call the collect number, get transferred to the travel department, who not once, but twice simply does what I did before--calls both of the hotels I already tried on my own, and tells me that they cannot help.

Thankfully, I find an internet hotspot in Delhi (they are everywhere there, by the way), and find out that the ITC Mauryan Sheraton has a room. I call back Centurion travel to book it for me.

Centurion, if you are listening: my annual fee is due this month. What are you good for?
