Rytown Hilton? Stamford Hilton? Passover program

(It's that time of the year!) Wondering if any chowhounders had opinions re Ryetown Hilton (LeisureTime Tours)? Stamford Hilton (Gateways)? Particularly interested in food (variety, quality, etc), religious observance level, quality of chol hamoed activities.
Thanks!

    We did Gateways for Rosh Hashana, I though all the programs/speakers were fantastic, and my husbands LOVED LOVED LOVED the davening. Wide variety of frumkeit...although very Queens heavy. Food was good enough, although I would always stick with the chicken dishes.

      I havw stayed at tehe Rye Hilton twice for family events and really, really liked the hotel part. Nice big, comfy rooms. Pretty grounds. Nice service. Had a cosun (other side of family) stay there once for a confrence and she also really liked it there. No ideas on the programs but I do know my husband's cousins FIL did Passover there several years ago and his DIL said he enjoyed that too.
      SOrry I don;t have anny more info to share, but I will say if i was thinking of doing a passover program and they had one there that was in my budget, it woudl be at the top of my list thanks to my past excperiances.
