Delhi has gone haywire with hotel pricing, so what you could get for a small budget even a year ago can not be found today. The Westend Inn is a very basic hotel. It's generally clean, but make sure you get a renovated room on the side across from the pool. Some fixtures (like the soap dish in the bathroom) are broken, but the bed is comfortable, sheets are clean, the phone works, there's a tv, etc. Westerners should keep in mind that this is India, what you might get in the US is not going to be the case here-no bathtubs for example. The hotel staff speaks limited english (be prepared for that in in India in general) so if you want something complex, the only answer you'll get is yes, but you won't really get what you want. The wifi is a joke-it didn't work for the majority of the time we there, but then again this is an India issue in general. The rooms on the second floor have better wifi reception. The business center is not a business center and again internet only sometimes work. The westend inn is not as horrific as some other reviews make it out to be, but don't expect a 5 star experience, don't expect a US 3 star experience either for that matter either.
And regarding mosquitos, you're in India, they are going to exist and if it's rained recently, they are going to be out in force. Don't open your windows and ask for the repellent plug in you see advertised all over India.
The food is pretty decent here and cheap. Room service is not so great-food was terrible, but the buffet at the restaurant was good as were several of the other items we ordered off the menu.
All in all, a decent experience.
