I
stayed
at
the
Setai
Hotel
during
Rosh
Hashanah.
I
am
in
Israel
for
work
and
needed
to
leave
Rehovot
to
make
sure
I
had
things
to
do
during
the
holidays.
I
am
so
glad
I
picked
the
Setai.
The
location
in
Jaffa
is
great
for
tourists.
It's
easy
to
walk
the
old
side
of
Tel
Aviv
and
see
historical
sites
like
the
Old
Jaffa
Port,
St.
Pete's
Church
and
the
Tanner's
House
where
the
Apostle
Peter
lived.
Walk
in
the
other
direction
and
you
can
walk
along
beaches
for
miles.
The
hotel
itself
is
one
of
the
best
in
all
of
Israel.
It's
built
on
an
old
historical
Ottoman
site
and
still
contains
some
of
the
structure.
It's
a
site
in
itself
and
also
sits
on
a
mosque
which
is
another
site
to
see.
There's
underground
parking
-
for
you
fellow
American's,
if
you
are
driving
to
the
hotel,
make
sure
to
follow
Google
Maps
and
turn
where
you
see
a
large
elevator.
The
hotel
has
underground
parking
and
you
are
brought
underground
by
that
elevator.
That
was
new
to
me.
I
loved
that
it
had
parking
because
it
can
be
incredibly
difficult
to
find
parking
in
the
area
where
it's
super
popular
for
the
beaches.
The
facilities
are
top
notch,
including
the
spa
and
gym.
There's
a
free
turkish
spa
as
well
as
dry
sauna
with
lockers
to
use.
It's
also
stocked
with
lots
of
water,
flavored
water,
teas,
and
dried
fruits
like
dried
apricots
and
dates.
The
gym
has
lots
of
treadmills
and
enough
weights
to
satisfy
most
on
a
vacation
or
business
trip.
There
are
free
weights
and
cable
machines.
The
room
I
picked
had
a
partial
ocean
view
and
balcony.
It
overlooked
the
city
and
the
beach
and
was
nearly
perfect.
The
bedding
was
soft
and
comfortable.
The
room
was
spacious
and
the
bathroom
was
perfect.
Big
with
a
bathtub
and
walk
in
shower.
It
also
has
blackout
shades
so
you
can
sleep
in
as
long
as
you
would
like.
The
only
downside,
but
this
is
a
downside
for
all
hotels
in
Tel
Aviv
is
the
road
noise.
The
room
filters
out
most
noise
except
for
the
late
night
super
loud
cars
and
police
cars.
You
can
tell
with
the
thick
walls,
and
double
paned
windows,
the
hotel
did
its
best
to
block
out
all
noise,
but
it's
impossible
with
how
busy
the
area
is.
Lastly
the
staff
-
AMAZING.
Everyone
from
the
bell
desk,
security,
cleaners,
to
the
restaurant
staff
were
warm,
welcoming
and
kind.
A
shout
out
to
ZaAID
at
Zaya.
He's
one
of
those
people
who
just
cares
about
you.
He
remembers
your
name
from
the
first
time
you
meet
him.
He's
almost
that
favorite
uncle
most
of
you
have
in
your
life.
Even
though
I'm
thousands
of
miles
away
from
my
personal
family,
he
made
me
feel
like
family
and
I
really
thank
him
for
making
my
three
day
trip
completely
worth
it.
I
hope
the
Setai
Hotel
recognizes
just
how
special
he
is
and
how
great
he
makes
the
guests
feel.
I
would
come
back
because
of
him.Thank
you
Zaid
and
thank
you
Setai
for
making
my
business
trip
to
Israel
spectacular.
