If anyone is planing on staying at Waldorf and not eating the free breakfast (Hechsher, Early flight, etc') please PM shimino1

If you get free drinks vouchers and don't use them, I'll buy it off you for 10 shek per voucher.

If anyone is planing on staying at Waldorf and not eating the free breakfast please PM dragoddfer, and he may be able to pay for the breakfast.

They've become very stingy with suite upgrades
That's always been the case when ive stayed there unfortunately

I would recommend staying away from doing that as hotel frowns upon this practice

I was told a few times by different reps that BMG is only valid for the brand that issued it ie if you got from a Hilton you can only use it at a Hilton.

Although every Fri and Sat night are blocked for standard rooms it looks like every Sat-Thursday is open as of now, even over Pesach and Shavuot, for 76k a night.
