We recently had the honor to guide a fantastic mom and son who came off their docked ship in Haifa for a two day tour of the Galilee, Golan, Jerusalem and the Dead Sea. We recommended that they stay overnight in Jerusalem at the 3 Arches Hotel in the Jerusalem International YMCA. The mom's very nice review is below. Please not that MarkZtours has an exclusive agreement for a fantastic discount at the 3 Arches not available anywhere else - 400 New Israeli Shekels (approximately $125 USD per room per night.)

My son and I stayed here overnight during our 11-day Holyland cruise. We had booked a private tour for the two-day stop and this allowed us to get the most out of our two days in Israel. I highly recommend Mark Zober for the private tour (markztours@gmail.com). He and his wife Marilyn gave us the insider's view of Israel in a very short amount of time.
The hotel is located across the street from the famous King David Hotel and is near the old city in Jerusalem. If you have a chance walk across the street and check out the insides of the King David hotel. Many famous people have stayed at the King David and there is much history to see in the hotel itself.
Take a tour of the Jerusalem Y as well. The arches leading to the lobby are noteworthy and a ride in the elevator up to the top of the Y tower for sweeping photos of Jerusalem is a must. We were on a high floor overlooking King David Street and it was wonderful to wake up in the morning to see the roof tops of surrounding Jerusalem. The hotel has a buffet breakfast and weather permitting a courtyard in the front of the hotel where you can eat breakfast. The choice of breakfast foods was more than adequate.
