Interesting. Last time I was there I felt the service was better than all previous times Id been there.
I had a nice experience as well. Not much interaction

Also, service at the hotel has dropped from an 8 to a 2.
Another COVID fatality.
Been dripping steqdy for past 6 years after first gm and manager left
Even workers who are there from beginning will tell you it's a Ritz in name only not in service

service for family staying there on points was TERRIBLE, but when i walked in with my AmexTravel reservations, they were amazing and also fixed the issues for family. i wonder if they are trying to discourage points stays.

For years they were horrible to people who came in using the old Ritz free nights with gold status bc every one thought they deserved the world .
Back then they claim had policy won't upgrade past one category while using certs. Now it has extended to points since covid that won't upgrade to suites

Not my experience.
I received wonderful treatment and got upgraded to a suite on points stays.

1. Does the hotel offer connecting rooms? (or two rooms that have an outer door that can be closed)

2. If booking for a friend using my points from my plat account and Im not there, do they make problems? Havent been there in years, so not sure how makpid they are. Thank you

I am also interested in hearing whether there have been any issues if someone makes the reservation for me, listing themself as the primary guest. They will not actually be present. In the past things have gone smoothly. Has anyone had a problem recently?

In my experience had no isssues with the hotel, the only hitch was adding the guest from USA, 1800 didn’t know how to do it.  Once I was on the phone with the front desk they did it no problem

Yes. Also, check in the app.

I was there in April on a paid stay through amex travel and it was my best stay at a hotel in israel. i do think paid vs points makes a difference there, and esp if u book through amex

Thinking about booking a couple nights through FHR (at least in part to use my $200 credits).

But your experience seems to conflict with Dan's, but nonetheless good to hear.
