Tonight no. Shabbat using feee night certificate. But if i eat meals then yes, or might eat out.
How did you get ahold of a free night cert? Anyone know how many points I need per night and if there is any availability with points?

Welcome amenity (at least for me) is a bottle of wine and fruit plate.

They even got Barkan to make bottles of wine just for them.

So, to confirm, it's still true that a Gold member on an award stay gets breakfast for two for free?

Anyone know if the Junior Suite has a separate living room or if it's just one large(r) room?

Did you stay in one? They claimed on the phone that it had a separate living room.
