Reviews of hotels on the Dead Sea

Is it worth giving reviews of hotels on the Dead Sea, if everyone who expresses their opinion judges the level of service by comparing it with their own experience of staying in hotels (particularly at resorts), with expectations (there was no canopy bed in the suite), and finally, with the amount spent on the trip and vacation. By the way, mood also plays an important role: in a good mood you can write one thing, in a bad mood - something completely different...

Although, as most tourists assure, hotels on the Dead Sea rarely disappoint anyone. After all, this region lives mainly due to the resort business, and, therefore, a good reputation must be constantly maintained by a high level of services.
