Since the secular guests were not informed that on that particular weekend the hotel would be run on base of the rules stipulated by the Haredi guests such guest should have left the hotel getting a written confirmation of this fact and not accept the alternative offered in particular since apparently the compensation for the downgrading of the weekend was 5 times coffee and cake per person only. I do not criticize the fact that the hotel put its faciltities at the disposal of a Haredi group who occupied 400 rooms, but that the hotel did not find necessary to advise the travelling agents or other prospective guests of this fact. You cannot have the cake and eat it. In all fairness you have to give your guests the choice before they book and travel with the whole family all the way down to the dead sea. This has nothing to do with tolerance of the Haredi way of life, but with correct business behaviour, |
