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.

Looking to book a week-long stay at WAJ - revenue stay for Tues-Sat combined with two purchased certs for Sat-Mon.  Any issues using the cert with me as additional guest on the back-end?  Assume that I won't need to switch rooms in the middle... anyone here with a DP/experience in this area?

I was in a somewhat similar situation, and it wasn't an issue.

Used my points for nights 1-5 and DW's points for night 6 (and added myself as 2nd guest). Even though I specified it was 1 long reservation, my key stopped working at checkout time after night 5. Front desk was able to reactivate it with just my ID.

Point is that they didn't ask for DW's ID at initial check-in or when I got locked out.

But if the primary name on the 2nd reservation was John Smith and not a name that could be your wife's, then they might've asked, no?

Perhaps, but worth noting that the last names on our reservations were not the same.

At any rate, don't ppl do this kind of schtick all the time? Are there any DP's of being denied at check-in?

I booked 2 nights from one persons account and the 3rd from someone else’s. Had no issues at all
