Haaretz Staff and Channel 10: Dead Sea hotel goes Haredi for weekend, but forgets to tell secular guests
Talkback
Title: The hotel was greedy and wanted to cash in on both Name: AY City: State:
the secualrs and Hareidim. The hotel needs to learn some "Golden Rules of Civil Manners": show POLITE consideration by informing, for ex. in the hotel brochures on the week-ends reserved for the Hareidim and on the days available for the seculars OR at the moment they are booking, so that the seculars may book another hotel. ALSO: if however the hotel wants to blend in the seculars, the hotel should give discount to the seculars for the discomfort they are submitted to like blocking the sea view: drop the price by 1/2! NOT nice for a foreigner though, who has saved years for this once-in-a-life-time visit to the Dead Sea and finds himself in a room with thick plastic before the window blocking the view!!! I´d pay nothing for such a room! IF there are consumer-protection laws in Israel, appealing to them, will force the hotel to pay for the inconvenience suffered from by delibarately held back information from the secular customer, which has ruined his comfortable stay.
