Personally, I liked the breakfast as the Prima Kings better.

Nunu.
I didn't eat there blind, went very high up several chains. If that's all I go to hell for I'll be in good shape.

I've seen him eating there I guess they will need to prepare a cell for me as well! I'll reserve a cell near you maybe we can figure out a hell break!

The food at breakfast isn't the fanciest you can find, the atmosphere and service it's what you get there!

I'm sure I'll enjoy it once i have a chance to stay.
Enjoyed having drinks in the lobby, and hobnobbing with the who's who in Jewish life. (Well, not so much hobnobbing as it was me watching them wondering if they were staying on points or cash.)

I liked it a lot.
It's still Israeli service, but it's very good overall.

I was also curious as to what percentage of the people are coming with points, meaning did they take their stays there, away from the Citadel et al, or are they using the opportunity to stay in a nicer place than they normally would because of the award options.

In any case, all business seems to be good business since even the people staying on award reservations are eating in the restaurants, bring their family for breakfast etc.

It could be I haven't been in America for a while, so I don't know what your definition of Israeli Service is, but in my books, it was American service.

It most certainly is not. That doesn't mean I didn't thoroughly enjoy the stay, but the service is not 5 star by any stretch.

i have to agree somewhat, the service is better than typical israeli service

For sure. But typical Israeli service is typified by this:

Did you get upgraded?

from King Superior to King Deluxe. Not even sure of the difference. 7th floor. The only problem I had with the room was that it was a view of construction and a cemetery. But if you keep the shades closed, it's fine. We left them closed almost the whole time.

I'm planning of staying a couple nights with 2 kids and a baby.
But for the first night I only have 1 room.
Could it work, will they make me any issues?
Will they charge me extra?

Only difference I can see online is 2 sq meters bigger

That's 2 sq meters extra to throw my stuff around

FYI, the things they gave us (in addition to 2 sq meters) was a glass bottle of mineral water, a bottle of wine (sealed), 2 cups of champagne, a piece of cake, complimentary shoes cleaning, 2 vouchers for cocktail or drink (up to 65 sheks each), and a fridge. Oh, and I asked for an extension on check out, so instead of 12pm, it was 4pm. Generous.
