Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Rosemary G.):

It is interesting that the MC claims buyers are made aware that reservations are on a first come first served basis and rooms are rented to the general public. Who, in their right mind would buy if they were given this information upfront, prior to buying? We bought in 2001 and were never told we would be competing with the general public for room reservations! We were given the impression as an owner we would be able to get rooms by the night or by the week- total, 7 nights per year, 1 weekend. We have NOT been able to get a room in a five years. When I spoke with a supervisor last week I was told if I paid my maintenance fees 9 months in advance of 2015 I would then "possibly" be able to get a room for starting in January. I paid a maintenance fee of $2500 in January and cannot get a reservation this year. I was told the maintenance is so high (probably the highest in the country!) because they have refurbished the rooms and elevators. I responded, so I have paid $2500.00 so that the general public has the advantage of flat screen TVs in their rooms and elevators that work but I cannot get a room! It is absolute incredible that this scam can continue! The perpetrators of this scam on the owners should go to jail.
