Jerusalem Gardens Hotel & Spa

This was our third stay. Once again the staff was attentive and courteous beyond expectations (with special mention to Danny Levy and Rakefet for following up on a telephone problem in our room). Room furnishings, although unpretentious, were very clean. The beds were super comfortable. Breakfast featured a variety of salads, cheeses and condiments. We especially enjoyed the baby lettuce leaf salad with walnut pieces (but we'd love to see some crispy baguettes accompany the bagels and breads). We've found there's a laid-back informality about this place that's happy and relaxing. We also like this hotel's location. It's a short ride by light rail into town on one end and a short walk to a fully stocked supermarket on the other.

Let me reiterate, I did not stay at this hotel, nor did I eat there. All I did was attend a conference. What shall I say, on the positive side, I took the train and it was in walking distance from the station. The outside, nothing special (old). Entrance, nothing special either. Downstairs for the conference: it’s old, doors are broken, some locations are warm, others are freezing. Clearly an air conditioning issue. In general, taken into account how the toilets looked... not very promising. I think we’ll refrain from returning here for any of its amenities!
