Well it seems someone reserved all the weekends for the rest of March and some of April
SO, unless someone cancels a reservation for the 16-18 of March I guess I am not going....

[Netster]

[U-no-me!]

Also, Is the hechsher mehadrim or not? and if it is what are the meal prices over shabbos?

and if so, splurge the extra 2k points to book an extra room just as a kitchen and dining room....

I moved the tv as far back as it would go, and that plus the little shelf thing gave me more than enough room.

1. A connecting room would be great, but a floor up floor down is not that difficult, except if were talking about a disabled or elderly people.
2. I personally love the smell of chulent, but through the night in my bedroom. Emm rather not.

I think the hot plate is the best option. Its better than paying full price for the meal and then not get to eat half of it because it is not all Mehadrin..

[moish]

...or none of it

I have never been to Israel except on birthright several years ago.  I am wondering if in general (and at this hotel in particular), does the $20 bill sandwich trick (eighty shek? lol) help to get a better room?

[Deal Guy]

The hotel is ok with hot plates and cooking food? What about your room neighbors?

The guys at the desk are always the same over there (man with the glasses and two women...) dont look like it would work with them.
