Board Shatabdi Exp at 0600 hrs from Delhi to Gwalior on 17th Feb-18. The Journey was Ok, but bit slower than earlier as more stations are added like Dholpur and Murena. Quality of Food and cleanness are also acceptable.Reached Gwalior at 1000hrs, and met with Mr. Mathur from Travel Bureau along with driver and transferred to Deo Bagh Hotel. Room was not ready as Hotel was full, I took the opportunity to take a quick round of the Hotel. The room was ready around 1100 hrs. Later after short beak I started my Hotel inspection Tour.
