Re: the manhattan club (by Lucy A.):

I'm happy to have found this forum.

There is an old Yahoo group that seems to still work

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MCNYC/

I have owned for about 2 years (purchased from Howard). This year, I wanted a week in October but was only able to get two days and have to take the other 5 just before my contract ends in mid January! Coming from Seattle, I need to use the time in chunks.

This reservation frustration, the skyrocketing maintenance fees, and the lack of any communication regarding the above, prompted me to email a board member with questions. My letter was sent to Joshua Wirshba, general manager.

I received a snailmail letter from Mr Wirshba dated Sept 10, 2007 I was told that minutes for the association would be posted very shortly on www.tmcny.com/ I was encouraged to book 12 months in advance, if I am reserving 7 nights.

Today, Oct 2, 2007, I emailed a request to member services for any week in Sept or Oct 2008. Jose Rosario replied that there is nothing available and I will be placed on the waitlist.

This is unacceptable. I agree with getting legal action started. The downside will be the difficulty in selling a unit.

Would anyone like to try using the yahoo group? It has taken me quite a bit of searching to find this forum. there are other owners out there who are equally as frustrated. I found two today on tripadvisor.com.
