Tried to get room for 4. Was concerned about Priceline, since guaranteed space only for 2. Tried Hotwire for 3 months. Finally got a room for 4 at the Westin for $92 + 21.38 = $113.38 one night August 23rd. From reading this thread and the bidding websites, I was 98% certain from the Hotwire description that the hotel would be the Westin.

Hi Epixx,

 

Unfortunately, the detailed response I posted several days ago has been removed by the moderators.

 

I've contacted the moderators, and when all is straightened out, I'll be happy to post another response :).

Thanks, Ruth. I read it earlier and found it helpful.

Hi Ruth:

Our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids ages 15 and 11) will be in Tel Aviv for 3 days at the end of December. We have reservations for the Dig for a Day at Beit Guvrin, but this excursion would require us to rent a car for one additional day and pay an extra night's parking at the hotel. We're trying to decide whether such a day trip is worth the effort and expense. It's hard to tell from the website exactly what goes on. Have you ever done this? Do you think that kids these ages would find this really interesting? Most of the reviews are quite positive about it.

Hi Ruth:

I searched this thread but did not find any posts about the time elevator. Have you done this? Would you recommend it for teen (age 15) and preteen (age 11), or is it too fake and hokey?

I got the Caribe Hilton for $85 plus taxes 1/4/09 one night post cruise. I read on this thread that others have declined the resort fee at the Marriott. Has anyone been successful refusing to pay resort fee at this Hilton?
