My experience at the American Colony Hotel was amazing from start to finish. The staff is impeccably kind, knowledgeable, and helpful - the best I have witnessed in Israel and I have traveled the country from nearly every corner. This includes front desk, restaurant, breakfast, and cleaning staff.
The rooms were amazing, beds are comfortable, and the bathrooms... let's just say I want to steal that bathroom and bring it home!
The pool was great - beautiful, great temperature, good location, great staff (again!).
I recommend this place.
