Unfortunately, our experience was not what it could've been. To begin with, finding the location to pick up our information was NOT easy to locate. In the initial booking, we were told that we would have to attend a 90 minute sales presentation. The presentation was FOUR (4) HOURS long. We were supposed to receive two tickets to one of the shows. Didn't happen. We were supposed to schedule the presentation upon arrival. However, they scheduled it prior to arrival without notifying us. It had been scheduled right in the middle of our day, the following day. This was totally unacceptable! We asked for a different time. We were initially told that it probably would not be possible. We were ready to go elsewhere. Suddenly, we were able to reschedule. We had not arrived at the condo yet. We finally get to the resort to check in and are met with a round of sales pitches. Okay. Finally, we are able to head to the condo. We open up the door, everything looks great and welcoming. Looks are quite deceiving. The carpet was FILTHY. The ceiling fan 'showered' us with dust when turned on and a man was staying in what was called a 'lock off'. Very startling when he walked out. We were not informed of this arrangement at any time. We were unable to access the internet, even though it was advertised. Upon informing the main resort office, we were met with "We are very sorry. It is not our fault. It is the fault of the marketing company. We will let our management know." A manager came to speak with us. We were told again, "I am sorry. We are having trouble with this marketing company. We will probably fire them. You should never have been put in that unit, blah, blah, blah." BALONEY!!! NOTHING, not a thing, was done. Listed above are just a few irritants during our stay. We travel often, within the US and overseas. This, by far, has been our worst experience! We can normally 'roll with it'. Not this time. We will NOT return and suffice it to say that we will definitely NOT recommend it to anyone! Thank you.

Place we stayed was not that nice

Well first we were told we"d have a choice of either eating at the motel or would be able to go to a local pancake house. We did not get that choice and we did ask several people! Then the $100 dining card is a joke! You have to go onto restaurant.com to use it. Which you have to spend double the certificate at the restaurant!

I stood in the worst room at the hotel. Dial up microwave, leaky fridge and absolutely no room service. I was told by getaway deals that I would receive a $50.00 dining card it's actually $50.00 worth of coupons at only select places! Then I was told on the phone I would only have to pay $48.00 for taxes and fees when I checked in I paid an additional $68.56 for who knows what and the $48.00 on check in.

I paid for a king bed room at the Shular Inn in Pigeon Forge Tn. and was given a queen. It's about principle.

The hotel we stayed at was nasty. Would've rather stayed at Westgate. No other incentives for staying there. The price to stay kept going up daily and the venue changed several times.

I booked though GetawayDealz knowing it was a timeshare deal and I would have to attend a 90 minute presentation. To begin with, usually timeshare deals are on site. The place we stayed was clean but very dated and more on the line of a Motel 6. We attended the presentation as required which was in a VERY noisy, chaotic large room...not like other timeshare presentations. We politely listened to the presentation. At the 2 hour mark, we respectfully said that we were not interested and stated our reasons. At that point the salesman got very rude even making personal inusults. His manager also became rude and left to go to another table. I stated that we had given them more than their allotted 90 minutes. At that point, the salesman crossed his arms and said it could take up to 6 hours before we were given our exit code (necessary so that we were not charged the $300+ fee for not attending). It appeared that he was just going to sit there and make more disrespectful comments just to take up our time. After a few minutes of his comments, I got up and left leaving my husband and daughter to put up with more of his rude behavior. As I was leaving, I told my husband we would just pay the 300+ dollars so we could get on with our day. He stayed and received more unprofessional treatment but finally, after demanding to see managers, was able to get our code and leave. This was more an 3 hours from the beginning of our scheduled time. I will also add that the $100 dinner voucher listed in the promotion was not usable at any place nearby and was not easy to use elsewhere. We have yet to use it. My advice? Spend just a bit more to stay at the same low budget inn and spend your three (or more) hours doing something enjoyable....unless you enjoy dealing with rude, disrespectful salesmen. For the record, my husband is a sales manager so knows how professional salespeople should deal with clients. He usually deals well with even pushy salesmen, but even he was appalled at his sales approach.
