Same situation as the waj, citadel etc
anyone have any more details on the Inbal kashrus situation. seems like lots of frum influencers (i know funny to put those together) all have gone there for shabbos recently and eaten there. is the mashgiach like at the citadel (or the waldorf though people argue about that more) that can be trusted and everything is mehadrin except like 1 cheese?

For Friday night stay at WAJ and Sheraton Tel Aviv what is the charge, if any to checkout after Shabbat ends? Does this need to be confirmed in advance?

What are your needs?
Nearby to the Kosel? Other area?
Food?
Steps?
Do you care about which crowd is there?
Are you with family?
Kashrus?
Shabbos?
Comfort?
Price?

Did they get another quality hechsher? If so this would be terrible and seems really lacking in tznius.

big bold letters you gotta be careful with this one. if its another solid hechsher (not just rabbanut/tzohar which i would assume considering their clientele/location) then have some respect and dont imply to people that this may not be kosher. if there was an incident/owners did some trickery, then they should just disclose that, but if this is just a switch by the owner seems lashon hara to go out like this, and also implies some pompousness about your hechsher vs others.

This is an Israeli hechsher, ya know.

I don't see this as seriously overboard. They basically write we don't do this and be careful.

i know and i'm generally jaded by the israel kashrus scene, but would think they would be worried about the side-eye motzei-shem rah here by saying in big letters u should see this and be careful IF there wasnt an incident and another tier 1 hechsher is taking over.

In general, הופסקה simply means "we are not doing business together anymore", but הוסרה means "certification removed because of policy violations".
See above discussion regarding the hotel Yirmiyahu 33.

For better or worse this is the standard Israeli "we no longer have a business relationship" letter. More or less every "Mehadrin" hechsher writes exactly the same.

Has it been any more than bouncing a bunch between Eida and Rubin? I dont recall them ever having a hechsher other than those two.

There is no way that anyone can help you with this until you define what you consider to be a good hechsher.
