At first I thought we should maybe sign a petition for waj to higher there hechsher standers, but then it crossed my mind that they might just be happy with us not being happy if it just helps even a bit that there shouldn’t be as many award reservations!  ???
If we were signing a petition I would rather it be for a hotel that has a pool!!

They don't want to not bc of awards but bc of being know as a  charedi hotel and paying for the hechsher , they try as hard as they can not to have the stigma of being known as the charedi hotel

Except that's BS. They briefly attempted to get a better hechser but was immediately shot down. The hechser clearly isn't a "charedi" deterrent. The price is.

Besides for the fact that at a milk rabbanut place in Israel if one avoids he cheeses there isn’t that much that can go wrong.

They only use mehadrin food.

Incorrect. Not in the literal sense and not in the marketing term sense.

I was told by a reliable source that 95% or more of customers don't care about the hechsher, and it's not worth the hassle for the 5% to raise the hechsher.

That reliable source is called מראה עינים.

That's BS they never attempted to get a better hechsher they talked a big game when they thought they were losing customers after reichman sold and wasn't even hotel it was a big agent there who was pushing it , the second the talked died down so did anything that had to do with the hechsher and working on upgrading it

Also I never said not getting a better hechsher is to scare charedim off its to not be known as a charedi hotel , same way they don't have an official minyan during the week when the other hotels in neighborhood all do
