Sounds very different than when we were there in June. Guess that's the price you pay to travel in August in Israel.

Was there more then one back room with food?

No question that this is high season (They had set up tables in the lobby to accommodate the overflow) but its inexcusable to charge twice as much for the same breakfast that costs 60-65 at Gregg Cafe.

There's 25% off for Marriott members and kids eat free. Comes out to less than Cafe Cafe.
Never had to wait for eggs or pancakes.

Not sure, but we didn't pay for 1, 5, and 7 in June.

Was there this week as well. Compared to the past times i have been there it was lacking this week. August is just not the month to go.

Oh my you are so right! was at both this week as well.
one night ritz and two nights setai.
The setais only saving grace was that we had the semi-private pool and no one was around most of the day so it was basically private. but i doubt ill ever go back.

Its so worn down compared to your pictures. My front door didn't close unless you body slammed it. The door to the pool was impossible to open and didn't close all the way so bugs got in. The housekeeping could use a lesson or two from the Ritz. Overall it's an Israeli place with nice grounds.

Was at the Ritz in July and breakfast was really nothing compared to Waldorf, Plaza or Citadel.

I checked it out and went to eat at Cafe Cafe.

I must have missed half of it, since I saw about half the variety the Waldorf has.

ok so the Waldorf has more food. But the quality is t as great and the taste isn’t either. I’d rather have less food that is good and high quality than lots of mediocre food that half the stuff I won’t be eating to begin with

That I agree with, although last month the food was different and somewhat better. They even changed up the friday night menu (finally).
