If anyone is planing on staying at Waldorf and not eating the free breakfast (Hechsher, Early flight, etc') please PM shimino1

I know this question will expose my naivete, but can I ask:

When a hotel like the WA describes a room as "twin" (or, in this case, "twin deluxe"), can I expect the two beds to be "full-size" or double beds?  I don't expect queens, but I'm hoping they don't have true "twin" beds.  I have stayed in low-mid range hotels in Europe and, in fact, that's what they had.

I saw mixed reviews on FT,
Does the wa officially offer breakfast on award stays?
What do they charge for parking?

Ummmm...could the country in which its located be the cause. Nooooo, don't tell me they try to squeeze you for every dollar. Typical Israeli-style hondeling.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.
