Breakfast:
Paying guests get breakfast for free. If you are staying on points you need to be gold or diamond to get free breakfast. (source)

Parking:
Complimentary (No longer, is now 60sh for self park - Drago)

Shuls Nearby:
Great Synagogue - Approx. 7 minute walk
Kotel around 15min walk thru the mall & arab Shuk (Only suggested when soldiers are present like friday night on the way home)
Hotel has a Shul in the basement
Shul across the street

Hechsher: Plain Rabbanut Yerushayim (not mehadrin)
hechsherim in isreal
whatever your rabbi says you can eat, someone else's rabbi says is treif

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.
PM shimino1

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.

And confirmed by Gil Drory, the Purchasing Manager / Hotel Coordinator, via email:
"the hotel is currently in the construction phase and we hope to open in early 2013, probably late February – early March."

Is it worth it to try accruing HHonors points for this hotel? Or is it a waste of time due to the devaluation of the points (I am hearing rumors that certain properties are offering entry rooms at much higher redemption prices. Here is the FT link http://www.flyertalk.com/the-gate/blog/7488-massive-devaluation-of-hilton-hhonors-points-pertaining-to-premium-rewards.html)
At first I figured I'd try accumulating honors points because  I'd most probably be going to Israel sometime in 2013, but it's not feasable if it will be 100k points a night for a standard room...
