Re: Manhattan Club , (by Vanessa S.):

ChrisV, I will not give up or give in to them. Yes, I've been frustrated for years with them. I have had so many conversations with management since they started playing the games of over selling our rooms. It was like, they were given a written script to read to the timeshare owners at TMC when we questioned availability of space. All I would get is blatant lies from one manager, to the next manager, to the next manager, all the way up the chain of command to the General Manager, Mr. Salvatore Reale, from several of the departments including, sales, sales promotion department, financial services, reservations, and the General Manager himself. He who I believe has been in on the scam, as well as, all the rest of the Department Heads at TMC including their Attorney! I hired my own attorney to try to sell or give back my timeshare about two years and a half years ago. Do you know what they wanted first, and with no guarantees of timeshare sale? The maintenance fees! Yes, eight months in advance of when they were actually due. I told my lawyer "no, absolutely not! They were going to give me $100. I went several years ago to talk to someone in the Sales Department about the deceitful tactics they used to get us to purchase our timeshare in the first place at TMC shortly after this scam began. They were only offering to get more money in one way or another with offers of additional nights, or upgrades, buy points, buy into upgrade of the Penthouses, or most recently to convert ownership into points! Oh, yes, everything was just fine at the Manhattan Club then too! I told the salesman to never, ever, call me again either at my home, or while I was staying at TMC (very few times I got a 1-2 night reservation - I gave up many!) for a promotion or anything again. To be sure to put my name on their "Do Not Call List"! I have never gone back since. I do not wish to ever go there again! I want my money back. Period!
