Holiday Inn Club VacationsReviews of holidayinnclub.com

I have read other reviews about Holiday Inn Club Vacations, and they all confirmed my experience. Their sales tactics are manipulative and exploitative. As an elderly individual with a major physical disability, I was targeted by their unscrupulous pitch. The promises they made were false, and I deeply regret signing up. Avoid this company at all costs! This occurred Sept 30, 2023.

First i cannot afford this TIME SHARE!!!!!!! I have had numerous calls from you and have told you so. Please stop the calls!!

Signing up for the Holiday Inn timeshare is a decision I deeply regret. The ongoing payments have strained my finances, taking money away from more important priorities, like saving for my children’s education. Working in construction, my schedule is unpredictable, and I often plan vacations at the last minute. As a result, I’ve never been able to take advantage of the timeshare. What was meant to be a convenient getaway option has instead become a financial burden with no real benefits for my family. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who values flexibility or has an unpredictable work schedule.

Ok...yes the stories of fright dealing with time share presentation pressures can definitely cause anxiety, frustration and downright disappointment. However, my family and I have been members since 2014. When I tell you we "over" use this membership, we get our money's worth. We have been numerous times to Orlando, Orange Lake; Tennessee, Gatlinburg; Nevada, Desert Club Resort Las Vegas; Arizona, Scottsdale; Texas, Galveston Seaside; South Carolina, Myrtle Beach (guests were very stuffy on a holiday weekend- not planning on returning)....and in November 2025, we are booked for Louisiana, New Orleans. For some amazing reason, when we call to book, there's always availability...and when we can not get our selected rooms...WE ARE ALWAYS UPGRADED TO THEIR SIGNATURE COLLECTION SUITES. We travel all season for any reason. Since we PAY, we are definitely going to STAY. Our young adult children also use it for group shenanigans. Ohh I almost forgot, my sister and her friend used the RCI benefits and vacationed in Aruba before Covid-19. I say all this to share, these travel programs are only an issue when you don't know how to use it!! (or THEM, if you get my drift) I give all my complimentary friends and family stays to my clients and to other friends needing a quick getaway, and yes that help supplement my membership expenses. It's always a Win-Win for all! The world is stressful enough, and if you took the time to visit the resort, sat through that grueling pitch and still walked out with a membership, get your calendars out, grab some fun loving fam/friends and enjoy the most life has to offer. Peace to you all!

I’m extremely disappointed with Holiday Inn Club Vacations. The value of the resorts is nowhere near what they charge you annually. Despite having paid everything off, they refuse to let us cancel our membership. I would strongly advise others to avoid this company and not fall for their sales tactics.

I am unfortunately a member. Becoming a member is a terrible deal unless your travel dates are extremely flexible, you can book 11 months in advance, and you don't care about inconsistent quality of rooms and amenities. Here are some of my complaints 1. Limited locations and unavailability. I have been a member for 3 years and I live about 4 and a half year and have been unable to stay at the Gatlinburg location because it is always booked. In fact, I have had poor success booking at most of the locations I would prefer to visit with the exception of Orange Lake in Orlando. With more than 4 months in advance, I was unable to book Gatlinburg, Cape Canaveral, or Marco Island for the months of June or July but I can go onto IHG right now and book the same rooms as a hotel guest. Also not to mention you are limited to staying at a select few locations across the country. 2. Inconsistent amenities, if you first go to Orange Lake in Orlando for the sales pitch don't be seduced by it because none of the other locations have anywhere near the same amenities. For example, we just visited Williamsburg and they don't even have 1 hot tub and the activities such as bowling and the arcade close down at 7 pm at night. We have stayed at both a holiday inn hotel and a HICV in Panama City and my teenage daughters would much prefer the hotel because the hotel because of the lack of activity at the resort. 3. Inconsistent quality. The interiors of some locations are up to date but others look like they have not been remodeled since the 90's. 4. Poor value. This year I have booked 3, one week stays. If I booked the same locations and rooms it would run me about $5400. In maintenance fees and booking fees I paid $2375. That does not include the cost of purchasing a membership. Unlike booking a hotel, if I need to make any changes to my reservation after booking it cost an additional booking fee. And unlike booking with at a hotel, I do not earn points that can be used for future free stays.

I was offered a 4-day, 3-night vacation package by Holiday Inn Club Vacations. I was told there were no blackout dates, no extra fees, and that the resort was located at the theme park. That was the only reason I agreed to purchase it. When I called to book, I was told I’d have to pay an extra $177 because it was “peak season.” That directly contradicted what I was told at the time of purchase. Then I found out the resort wasn’t even located at the park as promised. When I asked for a refund, I was told no. They offered to cut the extra charge in half, but that’s not the deal I agreed to. This was false advertising, plain and simple. No one should be misled like this.

My experience with the Holiday Inn timeshare has been nothing but disappointing and stressful. It all started with the promise of a "free vacation" if I attended a timeshare presentation. Sounded simple enough—a one-hour meeting. Instead, it dragged on for three hours with two pushy sales reps, and honestly, I still don’t know why it took that long. After signing up, I quickly realized the so-called “benefits” were not what I was promised. They told me I’d get discounts at Hilton hotels, but that wasn’t true. The only options I’ve been given are a handful of resorts in places I’m not even interested in visiting. On top of that, trying to book anything that fits my schedule or travel plans has been nearly impossible. The financial side has been the worst part. The payments are a serious burden, and no one warned me about all the ongoing costs. What’s even more concerning is that this financial obligation could end up being passed on to my kids, which is something I’m really worried about. I feel completely misled because the whole reason I signed up was for flexible, discounted travel—none of which has been delivered. Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone. It’s just not worth the headache.
