I'm wondering if having a DO at  a hotel is easier than at someone's (who has a large) house
Gonna need a lot of bedrooms. & people want hotel service.

Minimum 2 nights stay and it costs $3,700.

At 13 bedrooms fitting 30 people I assume there's 4 bedrooms with 3 beds and 9 bedrooms with 2.  Either way the max would be 13 couples and that's if (big if) they can fit all their kids in their bedroom on blow ups/pak and plays.

That's $284 per couple. Kosher and eating would probably be much simpler than a hotel but on the flip side, people would need to bring blow ups/pak and plays. Would probably be better for warmer weather when the outdoors can also be utilized.

There's 14 bathrooms but since this was originally built as a residential home, there probably aren't bathrooms in every single room. While that sounds crazy compared to a hotel, when being a guest at someone's house you would be okay with sharing a bathroom so it's not soo crazy with people that you are hanging out with as friends anyway.

If it's in Monsey there may also be some local people who'd come for a meal or two but won't need a room.

Thanks for trying, but I think a few more weeks in advance would make it that much nicer.

Absolutely. I think there was a push for this because Dan was around right now. It's good to know though that there's an interest even if it's not a summer Shabbos.

I remember when a coke was a nickel, and you could buy VRs in OD.

Ha.
Thanks.

I have two certs that expire the end of November. Had the rooms books for a few week already. Hyatt didn't want to extend the expiration.

How about trying one for the spring time upstate. I know there are people who rent out their summer homes for the weekends during the winter & spring in Woodridge.
