Number of nights with standard room award space from now through EOS: 1

What is the standard room at this property? Even their most basic room I could find (twin deluxe) is considered premium at 200k per night.

I need to stay Sept 12-14, but I started playing with other dates and it seems a clear pattern of not allowing redemptions. I find it hard to believe all standard rooms are sold out a year out.

Rooms open up but must be quick (like passport appointments) plenty of people book (including agents )and a day or 2 before they open up as people cancel or sometimes day of if the room gets upgraded .
I found 2 weeks ago the whole first of week of August opened up Thurs before. Even found a shabbos open up 2 weeks ago on a wed , 3 rooms available and within an hour were all gone.
Now I Needed a connecting family room in2 weeks was tracking it for month few times a day and yesterday randomly opened up and I grabbed it.

Looks like they lowered the price for Friday night dinner. They quoted me $144. Which is still more than Inbal or plaza and less desirable since it’s plated and not buffet

seems like if your staying at plaza theyll book you, prob want to make sure they have room for there guests first. $144 for friday night at waj sounds very expensive!

Maybe we should start a Rare Aware Availability thread for hotels

I was able to piece together four consecutive nights in July by picking off one night at a time over a couple of months, checking multiple times a day. It only takes a few seconds.

Maybe forex difference as USD strengthened against NIS and prices are in NIS.
