Any chance they'd allow 3 young children in the room with parents?

Any recent experiences with this question?  What about during their "$65 extra for children" periods?

That's wonderful if it happened but doesn't fit the criteria I was looking for.

I'm currently on the lookout to add more Israel based, Charedi, Rabbanim who know Kashrus to the list of people who approve of the WA but not Rabbunut to the list of those who say it's acceptable. If anyone knows of one and can post or PM me I would be indebted.

What room are diamonds getting these days?

Also the only tax showing on the room that I booked is the VAT does that mean if I don't have to pay VAT the rate for the room will be exactly the 324 or are there other taxes?

usualy if not fully booked just ask when you check in for a room thats not booked for the next day so they give you late checkout
