Even if you find a hotel that you would eat at, you should set aside one dinner to eat at Decks. Phenomenal....

....And barely kosher

I've heard conflicting reports about the hechsher

You have heard people in the past two years say it's good?

Quote from: CS91 on April 28, 2015, 01:13:13 AM

I have a local Rav in Israel (Rosh HaYeshiva from when I went to Yeshiva there) that I ask all hechsher-related questions to and he told me that he's eaten there himself so that's good enough for me. But of course, gotta do what your comfortable with and follow your Rav.

Is he what we would call "charedei"?

I've heard it's one of the best restaurants in Israel, if not the best.

the impression I got from people who ate there wasn't the same as that

Not gonna say I've heard it's straight up no good right after someone said they eat there.
so decided on "conflicting reports" as not to call him out directly and still inform others to make sure and check for themselves.
Those that I know that ate there unknowingly or "uncaringly" said it was great.

That's a pretty old post to be responding to. And there are no Holiday Inns in either of the locations he asked about.

Sheraton TLV seems to be under the impression that it's high season right now (i.e. 16k SPG per night)... for a grand total of one week (5/9-5/16). Go figure. $:-\$

The "real" high season resumes in August.

Does anyone have experience staying at the Sheraton TA with a family of five? Will one room suffice for a short stay? Will they let that happen? Have Plat status if that makes a difference... Thoughts?

Regular room has two beds and a couch, how would you plan on sleeping?
Platinum should get you upgraded to club room, the one I got upgraded to was a king bed had a small little ledge built into the wall with a cushion might work for a small child if s/he doesn't move around but there's no other room.

Can someone recommend the top three IHG hotels throughout Israel?

Dave A · « **Reply #736 on:** June 15, 2015, 04:43:20 PM »

Anyone here stay at Prima Galil in Tiberias? Kashrut? Other good reccs for cheaper kosher hotels in the general vicinity (including Golan/Tzfat)? Convenient with kids is a bonus, too.
