So Im the OP. my husband went down for an appointment and looked at the rooms and they are fully renovated and really nice. 90 percent of the hotel has been renovated and they say the last 10 percent will be done before Pesach. Im still looking to hear from people who have been with this program in the past to hear what they liked or disliked.

If this is the same Flamm that did Pesachforless in Glen Cove 5 years ago
DO YOUR HOMEWORK

I was very disappointed with the food but maybe he had a low budget

I loooked into this and after reading recent reviews of the hotel, decided against it! It’s a three star hotel, Bad reviews of some rooms having bad mold, some rodents were seen, bug infestations, and no service when a light was out in the bathroom! I’d check and make sure you know what you’re getting into,,,,there’s a reason he’s so cheap!!!!

Thanks to the previous poster. I'm not sure what to say. My husband went down and toured multiple rooms. I have tons of pictures. It really seemed clean...

I know, some of the reviews said that certain rooms were good and certain were very bad. Apparently it is a very very old hotel and some of the rooms are really in bad shape. I was not personally willing to take a chance that I might get one of the worst rooms. Especially being stuck there for so many days.

Have u read any of the actual reviews? Numerous people wrote that they were offered room upgrades (after complaining about problems with their rooms) IF THEY WOULD POST A POSITIVE REVIEW ONLINE! That worries me....I’m sure they only showed u the renovated rooms, which there’s no guarantee you’ll end up with one of those. People wrote that there are mousetraps in the stairways and they found a hidden one in a room....scary stuff.... I’d love to go cuz it’s the cheapest program (I guess this is why) but I’m worried about being stuck with a problem place for so many days.

I'm not sure how... The reviews were written within the past two weeks... I don't think they renovated since then...

Yes it’s the same Chef Flamn from Pesach for Less,,,I guess the “less”is because of the inferior hotel and food....

No actually it’s NOT fully renovated. So I guess you’re trying your luck by hoping you’re not one of the unlucky ones getting the scary rooms....
