I wonder if there is a market for hotels that have nice amenities, yet are "south of the Haimish line". I for one know I would pay for that. Would you? Please leave a comment and let me know!

The Haimish Line
This article is similar to the post I wrote about why I love hostels. It's by David Brooks of the New York Times.

Short rant about The Carlton Tel Aviv.
The group I was with earlier in my trip spent two nights at the Carlton in Tel Aviv. It is supposedly a five star hotel. Despite the high cost of a room wireless internet is quite costly (at roughly $20 USD), and the computers in their so called "business centre" are quite expensive by metred internet standards, despite being so old they may date back to the 1990's. There is also a sign giving directions about how to print from their computers even though you can't actually print from them.
Anyway, this is my way of saying if you can't do something well then don't do it. The Carlton would be better off not offering their own computers. I just hope their uber expensive wireless internet is faster than the connection on the computers sitting in their lobby. I actually had to go to another hotel (The Sheraton) to find fast & reliable internet.
