The good news is that no one really ever needs to go to Beer Sheva. The bad news is that in the rare event that someone did, like a tourist, they would have no where to stay. Beer Sheba, Israel's fourth largest city, boasts exactly two hotels, The Leonardo/Golden Tulip/Paradise HaNegev/Hilton, and the Desert Inn. The Leonardo is described as "ok", "nothing great","worn out". The Desert Inn has some horrible reviews, from "the hotel was pretty terrible. The room's television didn't work, and the bathroom was disgusting. The room itself was pretty dirty and more like a hostel." to "purse was stolen from the locked room." Upon doing some searches, I found out that the Desert Inn is in fact closed, so there is only one hotel left. The Desert Inn is going to be replaced with Israel's largest mall. When asked "Why Beer Sheba"?,Yaakov Ben Yizri, president of the commerce bureau in the Negev, answers that "Beersheba and the Negev are about to undergo a revolution in the coming years," "This is a good enough reason to understand why Beersheba of all places." And the real news? In the area near the mall the municipality is interested in setting up a hotel.
