The hotel is located very close to the more residential sections of Jerusalem and Liberty Bell Park. It is kept up pretty well but still looks more like it did in the 1980s then to a modern hotel of the 2000s. It still is considered a five star hotel, perhaps because of the service but it is really a four star hotel if you ask me. The rooms are a bit dark and definently not that modern if you ask me. The hotel is more nostalgic and frequented by modern Orthodox American Jews who seem to like to stay with one place that works for them.
The outdoor pool is covered during winter and the hotel is very close to Emek Refaim and the Liberty Bell Park. Across the street from the hotels entrance are some cute restaurants but nothing really great unless you walk toward Emek Refaim.
