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.

Thanks for your support Denverite!!!!

Of course!


After all, there's only one place in the world to really want to be for Sukkos, and I'm sure you know where that is @Dan ;)

Wait, Crown Heights? Home?   :)

Although I know people are probably gonna slam me for saying this here, for me personally even if the rooms opened up I’d still want to keep my Chol HaMoed at the Hilton TA where it’s less points, lounge access, closer to tiyulim in the North and ironically because my kids would be mad if we spent the whole trip at WAJ without a pool...

I have a room reserved with a citi weekend cert.
The reservation information was standard room reward for 95,000 points.
I just checked the reservation and now it changed to standard room reward $699 + 95,000 points.

After you reserved with a rep on the phone then on your e-mailed receipt it says you will have to also pay an additional $699?  Can you send a screenshot?

What is the cost of Shabbos meals for hotel guests per person?

kids too? What about breakfast and Shabbos lunch?
How do you get a group of lawyers to smile for a picture?

A: Just say "Fees!"

Since you have the email, I wouldn’t worry. Everyone can see you paid the full 95k and there is no reason for you to have to pay.

Spoke to the "reservations error" department and they notated the reservation and sent a message to the hotel in house reservations to take the charge off.
They are still unclear about why the charge showed up.

Maybe they already instituted this:

""If you want service and luxury, you have to pay for them. That's normal. In Israel, prices are half what they are in Paris. There, you pay €1,000 euro per night, and that's how it is everywhere in the world. Only in Israel do people not want to pay. It's not normal."

Breakfast is a perk in many hotels for guests with or without status. Hotels don't make money giving out food to people off the street. Even people as special as Hilton Diamond members.
