Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Chris V.):

william m,

the official type of THE MANHATTAN CLUB entity is clearly a TIMESHARE, NOT HOTEL. those suites advertised on the travel web sites, like booking.com, et al, are listed as HOTEL accommodations, not timeshare entities owned by those who purchased their week (s) for mucho dinero. no, it doesn't make any sense at all to offer these spaces like hotel rooms. TMC is not upfront about anything, since suites are listed like hotel accommodations. if they list our space for rent they should call it a timeshare availability, not a hotel space similar to the sheraton or the midtown marquis. call it false advertising. on the other hand, i haven't noted too many empty suites that are available, ESPECIALLY TO OWNERS who want desired reservation time but are told they can be put on a wait list since no space is available. "wonderment" is the word that seems appropriate when the defense of TMC's tactics is clearly noted. TMC cheats and defrauds us at every turn, even after court action prohibited it from doing so. defense of its continuing defrauding of owners will not help us get these sham issues corrected at the end of the day. ".....but lets not get carried away looking for things behind each door and under each carpet".....we need to look everywhere (and not feel "carried away") when fraud is lurking EVERYWHERE at and by TMC.... "wonderment", indeed. after paying, on average, considering maintenance fees, about $450 per night as a TMC owner, isn't it very disturbing to know that a stranger/non-owner is getting the same accommodation for in some cases, less than $200 via travel websites? there's no defense for that one!

With many people not paying maintenance fees, there will obviously be many empty rooms frequently.. When the powers that be see empty rooms for the next two nights, doesn't it make sense for them to offer them to the public at discount rates? Don't we all purchase things on sale? Aren't many things put on sale when expiration dates are near? TMC does many questionable things, but lets not get carried away looking for things behind each door and under each carpet.
