Of course, when Israelis say something will be ready it's always annoyingly late.

Crib is your standard small roll away. Baby should be comfortable in it.

We'll be there from Wednesday. Was the upgrade automatic or did you help them along, so to speak?

I received a Waldorf Astoria Be My Guest Certificate from the WA NYC (they messed with my HH account and gave me this comp certificate).  I want to use it at WA Jerusalem. I have never had any of the Hilton BMG certs, but from what I read, it sounds like the same thing, except this one is specifically labeled WA.  There are no instructions on how to book a room with it. I tried online but couldn't find a place to enter the cert #.  I called the 800 # but the agent said I need to contact the hotel directly.  Is that the only option?  Someone above said they are good with email...should I go that route?
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure you can book any standard room and by check-in just give them this
