The property appeared to be having some of the rooms updated, I could be wrong, but it appeared that some of the decks below me were not as updated as mine. The hotel suffers from deferred maintenance (peeling paint on the exterior for example) but my room was updated and clean. The food would not be the reason to go there, but the view of the Sea of Galilee is hard to beat! I went for the view and that did not disappoint. The hotel appears to be mainly geared for tour bus business, so you will likely get caught up in large numbers arriving and departing.. but what a view from your room deck:)
