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.
As opposed to just about every DD'r who never try and squeeze every corporation\bank\retailer for any exploit they can find?

Yes but can you imagine a country full of only DD'ers...:p

Guys
Don't want to eat there, don't !
But to reply with misinformation "there is none" when there is a mashgiach temidi on site all the time is wrong.
The meat is rabanot and it is only a  might be rabanot (might be as far as anyone's research they are mehadrin)

If you eat at ou restaurants around the continental usa the this hashgacha is perfect for you.

to clarify, I was not responding "there is none" to whether there's a hechsher or not. I was responding to the fact if there's a clear answer.

and that can be seen by the fact that I bolded when I quoted his post

Except that none of the food served is plain rabanut.

I think so.

They also gave me a crib and a (regular-size bed) rollaway btw (no charge).

When you make the reservation, you won't be able to add more than 2 ppl/room though.

But read through this thread, and you'll find some experiences.
Did anyone try this same thing with the crowne plaza?
