Yes.  Either keep on checking online to see if a room opened up. Or post in this thread asking if anyone has nights booked for the dates you want and is not using it or willing to give it up. 
It's not about the quantity of your posts.  It's about the quality.

It's a nice highway, and it's quite safe. But it's single lanes most the way, so careful for drivers passing you.

The 6 will probably get you there faster

90 is a single lane highway, 6 is the biggest hwy in the country...

For the dead sea you're probably better off w the 90 though

Hi all. Looking for a hotel for overnight in the Dead Sea on Chol Hamoed. The hotels themselves are booked since they give the rooms to the tour people. Anybody know who I can call or write? I need 3 rooms. Thanks.

The CP, but I think it's 25-30k points, which is poor, unless you have no other options.
