Does diamond status help at this hotel vs gold for upgrades.. trying to see if it is worth spending on my hilton buisness card to hit the 40K for the diamond status.. THANKS

diamonds get $25 credit per stay.

the status maybe can get you a king room with balcony, which is a descent upgrade from the standard room. for bigger upgrades they love handing out the grand king (think its called) that has a plain room with balcony, the real upgrade is the very nice bathroom.

Any trustworthy babysitters in Yerushalayim or any leads? Maybe I should be asking on a different thread?

ended up just buying GCs
Will they accept that for payment at cafe and spa, and if so, do they need the physical card, or numbers are enough?
they don't accept the GCs
per a blogpost, this is a common issues at oversea properties, so hopefully will be fixed

Correct they have been having  issues with processing gift cards. They  had worked in past but recently (they say past 3 months or so ) hasn't been working.

Has anyone managed to book a standard room in February?
I'm trying to set up an alert through openhotelalert but it looks like they zero'd out the basic category altogether in Feb.
Lots of availability in March and beyond - just nothing in Feb
