Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced hotel for the New Delhi
meeting?
The only hotel currently listed on ICANN's website under $354 a night
receives a slew of stern warnings from previous travelers at
TripAdvisor.
Thanks for any info on alternative hotels you've got! I have been
looking and haven't found anything.
Best,
Robin
