Breakfast:
Paying guests get breakfast for free. If you are staying on points you need to be gold or diamond to get free breakfast. (source)

Parking:
Complimentary (No longer, is now 60sh for self park - Drago)

Shuls Nearby:
Great Synagogue - Approx. 7 minute walk
Kotel around 15min walk thru the mall & arab Shuk (Only suggested when soldiers are present like friday night on the way home)
Hotel has a Shul in the basement
Shul across the street

Hechsher: Plain Rabbanut Yerushayim (not mehadrin)
hechsherim in isreal
whatever your rabbi says you can eat, someone else's rabbi says is treif

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.
PM shimino1

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.

if WAJ is only showing premium room availability (points at 183k) for the shabbos i want will that prevent me from trying to use a weekend night certificate from HHonors Reserve?

Yes. The certificate can be used for a standard award only.

Did you try calling?  Occasionally there is some availability that doesn't show online.

Do shabbos meals require prior reservations? Stay is for chanukah and nervous that they'll be full.

Just a data point, not directly relevant to your situation:
We were staying AirBnB and wanted to prepay Shabbat brunch at WA. They told us regrettably they could not accommodate us as the hotel was full and they needed to take care of their guests.  Even though I was HH Diamond! :'(

"Truly a great person" seems like an excessive description and should be reserved for truly great people. Like those who bike up Haleakala  ;)
