I just had a really pleasant talk with the concierge over the phone getting ready for our stay (This coming Fri-Tuesday)
So excited!

He mentioned that there are places we would be able to use a pool in the area... Did he mean random places like the YMCA like was mentioned up-thread?

Looking to book Jan 22-Jan 25.  Rates are about $600/night.  Any way to get for less?

There's a sfardi shul next door towards king David street

I see that GoDaven.com lists 10 King David Street, Sefardi daily minyan at 7:30 am. Is that the one you are referring to? Is the timing still correct, and are there any other close nearby choices?  If the WA does not have a daily minyan, does the David Citadel Hotel have one?

I’ve been upgraded to both and don’t agree. Anyone with kids that they are trying to add to the room will greatly appreciate the extra space of a Junior suite. We had one with a very long entryway and were able to wheel the crib  down the entry hall and not worry about the lights in the main room bothering our youngest. There was also a nice sized pullout couch.  I’d totally prefer the junior suite.
