you mean 3000 points. I think so the room was ok. My wife enjoyed the stay. The mashgiach Avi was very helpful with the different hechsherim. The Head chef was a little nasty.
why 3000 don't you use ihg points? so what is the hechsher there I saw they have a restaurant?

I used starwoods, I booked this when they was supposed to put me in the Lemerdien. That was 6000 starwood points for 2 nights.

I was just in CP not for Shabbos and had a hard time with a minyan, I went to the Royal and they had a nice size minyan and I was told by locals that thye always have a minyan. It is in walking distance.

is there still a Minyan in the former Le Meridien hotel?

They cut out the Le Meridien part of the name, so its the David Dead Sea Hotel and resort now.

The shul at the Royal is much bigger and much nicer than at CP.

I'm commenting on the CP's shul quality.
And I've been to the Royal, although I don't remember the shul all that much.

I would call the Royal a shul and CP a extra space the hotel made for praying

Sounds about right.
At least the CP's shul was nicer than the LMDS 'shul'.
