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.

Like the SRBH, it's all about points and location, location, location.

Any reason why you don't book any of the other hotels through the CSR portal? I understand you may not get the same outsized value per point, but you certainly aren't lacking UR points....

I'd still return. It's just not what it used to be.
For me, it held up better than the Ritz has.

Why not give the Sheraton a shot? They recently renovated.

I believe Stam Rabbnut is Cholov Yisroel. Cholov Stam will say so explicitly and is generally not allowed other than imports & hotels.

AFAIK Rabbanut allows אבקת חלב נכרי and non CY butter and cheese.

Interesting, that's a change from the past. Asked the Inbal about Shavuos and they had some C"S items.
