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

If you get free drinks vouchers and don't use them, I'll buy it off you for 10 shek per voucher.

If anyone is planing on staying at Waldorf and not eating the free breakfast please PM dragoddfer, and he may be able to pay for the breakfast.

I am trying to book a weekend certificate for May 8 and 9th. Online there are no standard rooms available for may8. Is there anyway to still book a room?
AFAIK no

Is that "officially" cryptic code?
No.

The hechsher is rabanut.

The products that are used are held to a higher standard.

Supposedly the reason the Hashgocha isn't better is because they rent it out for non-kosher events.

After a PUTPAC I was informed it's Rabanut Mehadrin, I will reverify in the AM.

Friday night was $110/adult and Rafi (3)+Talia (1) were free.
I'd give it a 7/10. 

Breakfast and dinner at the dairy restaurant are both 9/10.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I ate Friday night there on two separate trips a year apart from each other  the most recent  the food was a lot better than the time before with a lot of selection such as lamb and surprisingly even had very culture specific food like Syrian Jewish  delicacies (as we are Syrian) which was a nice touch.
