Thank you it works for some of the days 2 nights, got 2 rooms just short for the third (need 15k), did the doordash promo hopefully that will bring me up to that in enough time.
Also FYI when you cancel a points booking the points redeposit back into account immediately.

Better the crown plaza which is falling apart. Not better then the kings though. It's really nice and new but very small.

Because rooms are teency tiny (200 sqft) and it's not a full service hotel, no pool,  restaurants, Shabbos meals, etc. They just serve breakfast (like a Hampton Inn does)...lol.  That's why it's so few points as well.   I think people DO book here like crazy on points but it's not an aspirational redemption.  It's got a great location and seems to do the job perfectly for people who come often, visiting family, etc. but not for the trip of a lifetime or people living in Israel that want a beautiful Shabbos or Yom Tov experience with meals.

Can totally do that.  If I stay for Shabbat, I'll probably book at least one Shabbos meal at the Waldorf because I like them there and at least I'll get 14ppd with my Aspire card.
