Wyndham Hotels & ResortsReviews of microtelinn.com

Wyndham hotels are the worst especially in South Carolina. They steal deposits. Dont ever give them a cash deposit. Their so called manager on duty out right stole my $100 cash deposit. Just because she could., I did not cause any damages at all. They have Horrible grounds keeping, maintenance, and upkeep of the property. Terrible staff. They're desperate to find any reason to take your deposit, esp. since there struggling so much just to stay open. Never choose Wyndham hotels. If you do you'll regret it. I want my $100 back

I have been an owner with Wyndham since 2018 and it’s been nothing short of a nightmare. I should have gone with my initial gut instinct with these people, but instead was lured in by their offers.  I was lied to repeatedly during the sales meeting, being told things like; we can sell the property back if we change our minds, the timeshare could be written off on taxes, and this “property” is a real estate investment. The list goes on and on. They will always tell you your points are never enough in order to make a sale. They don’t take no for an answer, and pressure you to upgrading no matter what your financial situation might be at that point. Many times we asked for help with lowering our monthly bill, but never received any beneficial solution. When we declined offers, new people would come over to tell us we were making the wrong decision. We were sometimes bombarded by 3-4 employees at once. Then, even after agreeing to make a purchase, we were constantly hounded to come to an update meeting, which were only designed to be sales meetings to sell more points. The answer to any problem is always “more points”.  My biggest fear is that my child will inherit this and will be burdened with it for the rest of his life. This has been an eye opener, and has made me realize how much of a waste of money this has caused me. Please don’t fall for it, it will cause more problems than it solves.

Upgrading my contract with Wyndham has been one of the worst mistakes I have ever made. I had been an owner for 18 years prior to upgrading. The first 18 years of owning Wyndham, I was only able to go to New Orleans. I decided to purchase a second timeshare so I could book across the U.S and travel abroad. When I conveyed that I wanted to further investigate the Wyndham properties outside of the U.S. and get back to them, my Wyndham sales rep stated that if I did not proceed with the timeshare purchase, I would NOT be eligible for the 2 show tickets that I was promised for attending the presentation. I ended up purchasing a 2nd timeshare only after being promised several quality Wyndham properties outside of the U.S. with booking simplicity. I have found the process to be anything but simple. I had filed a complaint with Better Business Bureau in the past against Wyndham due to 1 of my 3 payments by check on 1/1/21 being falsely determined as delinquent. It is the company’s responsibility to cash checks in a timely manner, not the client’s responsibility! And If Wyndham finds it necessary to engage in these types of nefarious business practices and intentionally delay the processing of payments to generate additional income at exorbitant rates, then this company needs to be investigated! I write this negative review to give insight to others to show that upgrading, purchasing, or even showing up for a presentation to receive something for “free” is not worth your precious time or money. Stay away from Wyndham!

Wyndham is such a joke! Their salespeople are lying vultures that will tell you anything to make a buck. It’s like they have no conscience. My wife and I went to a presentation since we were offered a free 2-night vacation in exchange. While there, we dealt with 3 different vultures that really turned up the charm when we mentioned our grandchildren. All of a sudden, they pushed really hard on selling us “memories”. They have no problem with guilting you into a purchase and using children to their advantage. When they are done using your family against you, the lies start! We did like the exclusivity that was offered and the extra income potential we’d have by renting out our points. Too bad it wasn’t true. When we were fooled in to upgrading, they said our payments would not go up, but they did…significantly. No one told us about the cancellation period either, so we are stuck with this. To make matters worse, when you finally get to book a vacation, there are more vultures trying to pull you in to another presentation and when you decline, they start calling your room! If you sign up with Wyndham, be prepared to have the least relaxing vacation you have ever taken.

What a scam! Wyndham swindled me out of THOUSANDS of dollars! Their salespeople are so good at deceiving you and lying to make a buck. I have owned this timeshare since 2016 and have been disappointed the entire time. One major selling point was being able to travel anywhere, any time. That simply isn’t true. There is never any availability. What’s worse is that I have paid so much for this timeshare yet, if you go online through any travel website, there is availability and for FAR less money! I have never been able to take a vacation and with the amount I have spent, I could have traveled the country for a month!

Do yourself a favor and don’t buy a timeshare from Wyndham. We have had too many headaches dealing with them! The “short” presentation ended up being 5 hours long. All those hours wasted while we sat there being lied to. The sales staff are shady liars! These are some of the things we were told that are not true that were omitted all together: LIE: This is a great investment. We found out timeshares have no actual value. OMISSION: 14.99% interest rate. We never knew the true loan cost, just the monthly payment. LIE: We’d be able to sell the timeshare at any time. No one will buy it! Even eBay has listings for under $5.00 with no bites. OMISSION: There was a cancellation period that they obviously did not want us knowing about. LIE: There is availability everywhere! In reality, it is very difficult to make reservations and the website is not user friendly. OMISSION: Maintenance fees. We were not told that we’d owe these fees even after the mortgage is paid off, let alone that they increase annually at shocking rates. This purchase has been the worst financial pit that we have ever been in! There has been no payoff for the thousands that we have dumped in to Wyndham’s lap.

Please, anyone reading this, do yourself a favor and stay away from WorldMark. Doing business with them was one of the worst decisions my husband and I have EVER made. Their salespeople lie to get you to buy a timeshare. They said it wasn't a timeshare. They’ll tell you anything you want to hear. We were told that this purchase would be a financial investment in vacation real estate with the ability to write it off on our taxes…but there is no monetary value or tax benefit! Their salespeople also told us we could use the timeshare for a few years and get out whenever we wanted. They neglected to tell us there is no cancellation plan, no buyback plan, NOTHING. When they tell you that Maintenance fees will not go up, that’s a lie too. What’s worse is that they pressure you in to buying with fake promos and “one time only” deals. Every time an offer was declined, they offered a better deal, the only catch being that if we left the presentation, it would never be offered again. We have been so disappointed by this purchase that we wouldn’t recommend this to an enemy, let alone a friend!

Dealing with WorldMark is horrible, plain and simple! My husband and I have been owners for more than a decade and have not been able to take many vacations because of the total lack of availability. The sales staff lies and always tries to rope you in to buying more points. When we have talked about the difficult time we had with making reservations, the answer is to either book more than a year in advance or buy more points and boy, do they push to sell you MORE POINTS! Unfortunately, more points doesn’t solve the availability problem. It just means you pay even more to have the exact same issue! That’s not to mention the maintenance fees that go up EVERY year. With the amount we have spent on this timeshare, we could have traveled the world for a year!
