Very clean, very comfortable rooms. Kosher buffet dinner and breakfast, of average quality. Great location to hike the Jesus Trail or the Horns of Hattin. Nice to have a full bathtub while on a hiking trip. If you are an Orthodox Jew, this is probably a very great choice, as they have many facilities geared specifically for you & the buffets are kosher.

Very impersonal touch. Sometimes it felt that we as a couple were hardly welcome? It seemed to be all about large groups of people.
Great pool! The breakfast and dinner buffet is quite good.

I would have loved to get a tour of the campus. We received a map and walked around aimlessly. I would have loved to have a guided tour... disappointed that it was up to us to follow the map and discover things -- it didn't work out well for us. We got lost a number of times walking around

The availability of snacks to buy was extremely limited. The hallways in some sections were in need of refreshing.
The breakfast was typical of a top hotel in Israel. There was an omelet station plus a variety of hot food including scrambled eggs and pancakes both days I ate there. They had shakshouka one day but not the next. They had a variety of breakfast cereals, plenty of fresh salad vegetables plus some grilled vegetables. There was a wide variety of cheeses. Fresh coffee was available plus a machine for cappuccino. Another machine had what tasted like freshly squeezed juice. The location is convenient for exploring the north. It is just a 10-15 minute drive to Tiberias and is an easy drive to Safed and the Golan. I drove to Haifa afterwards and made it in less than an hour. The road to the hotel itself and the free parking is well marked. My Waze inside my car worked fine but Google Maps had some trouble inside my hotel room despite the more than adequate free wi-fi. The room was clean and comfortable. Housekeeping did a good job. There was plenty of room and the furniture included a desk. There was a nice size TV with cable and a bigger than average mini fridge which was empty giving one plenty of room and eliminating the worry of unexpected mini bar charges.
