Holiday Inn Club VacationsReviews of holidayinnclub.com

I wish I could say our experience with Holiday Inn Timeshare was positive, but unfortunately, it has been a major disappointment. We initially purchased the timeshare with the hope of creating more family memories, especially as we planned for retirement from the Army. However, it's turned into a huge financial burden. The rising costs and maintenance fees, which are inconveniently due right after the holidays, have made it difficult for us to provide for our kids during Christmas. On top of that, we rarely even get to use the timeshare. For the amount we've been paying, we could have saved for actual family vacations that would have been much more worthwhile. This has been nothing close to what we were promised, and we deeply regret signing up. If you're considering a timeshare, I highly recommend evaluating other options or avoiding the stress altogether.

I wish I could give zero stars. Our experience with the Holiday Inn timeshare has been nothing short of a nightmare. When we purchased this back in 2019, we were promised a cost-effective plan tailored to our future retirement travels. Instead, we were pressured for 5–6 hours by multiple salespeople who wouldn’t take no for an answer. Even when my husband stepped outside due to anxiety, they followed him out. Looking back, it was a clear case of high-pressure sales tactics. What’s worse, they were never honest about the contract's permanence. We were falsely told we could pass it down to our children, but no one mentioned that we’d essentially be locked into this forever. On top of that, the rising fees were conveniently avoided during the sales pitch. Yet, in the first year alone, maintenance fees and dues increased, adding to our financial stress. Now, we can’t even use the timeshare effectively. Availability is always limited, and even when we try to book, we don’t have enough points to enjoy more than 3–4 days. The final insult came during a recent “mandatory update” meeting, where a sales rep had the nerve to tell us “you can’t do much with 60,000 points.” That’s NOT what we were sold on initially. To make matters worse, my husband has undergone multiple surgeries since 2020, leaving him out of work and us financially strapped. These timeshare fees have become an added burden during an already difficult time. Clearly, this is not the retirement dream we were sold—it’s a financial and emotional nightmare. I wouldn’t recommend a Holiday Inn timeshare to anyone. Save yourself the headache and choose a company that values transparency and honesty Matrisa Crapps

We had a very disappointing experience with Holiday Inn and their timeshare program. We purchased the timeshare in January, only to realize that it wasn’t feasible for us to use it more than twice a year due to the limited points we received. When we did use it, the experience was far from what we were promised. The room we were assigned was nothing like the one we were shown when they sold us the timeshare at the same resort. The difference was shocking and misleading. On top of that, the toilet in our room was constantly running, which was extremely annoying, and despite calling for maintenance, no one showed up to fix it. We also had to have the toaster replaced because it was broken when we arrived. Unfortunately, shortly after purchasing the timeshare, our lives drastically changed. My wife had a heart attack in March, which led to severe complications, including kidney failure. By November, she was on dialysis seven days a week, and the complexity of traveling now includes bringing her dialysis machine and supplies, sanitizing the rooms ourselves, and other logistical challenges. This makes it nearly impossible for us to take any vacations. The financial burden of the timeshare payments, combined with our medical expenses, has created a situation where we deeply regret making this purchase. We also feel deceived by the misleading sales pitch and misrepresentation of the rooms. Buying this timeshare has brought us nothing but stress and frustration. I would not recommend Holiday Inn’s timeshare program to anyone.

I really regret getting involved with the Holiday Inn timeshare. What started as an exciting idea for family vacations has turned into a huge financial headache and endless frustration. First off, we were told we had to buy an Interval International membership to bank our week and trade it for other resorts. That meant more membership fees on top of our already steep monthly payments. If we missed their strict deadlines, we couldn’t bank our week and were either stuck using it at the original location or losing it altogether. Even when we managed to bank our points, we ran into another issue. We lost a bunch of points because we didn’t renew our Interval International membership on time. Points we had already banked were gone forever, and we couldn’t bank future weeks either. It felt like no matter what we did, the system was designed to make us lose. We originally thought this would be a great investment for our kids, but it’s turned out to be a total money pit. The annual fees alone are insane 1,581.22 a year, and they just keep going up. Instead of being something for our kids to enjoy, it’s become a financial drain. That money could’ve been so much better spent, like on college tuition or a down payment for a car. Holiday Inn’s timeshare program has been nothing but misleading, full of hidden fees, and way too complicated. I honestly wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who wants a stress-free vacation. Think carefully before signing up. It’s really not worth the money or the hassle.

Our experience with the Holiday Inn timeshare has been pretty disappointing. While the one time we actually used our timeshare at the designated property was nice, clean, and enjoyable, the overall experience has been more frustrating than anything else. We ended up with a smaller package that came with restrictive blackout dates, making it almost impossible to book during good travel times. This really limited how much we could actually use the timeshare we were paying for. On top of that, the constant fees—maintenance fees, annual member fees, and more—just keep piling up, making it feel more like a financial drain than a good investment. We thought this timeshare would give us flexibility and fun vacations, but instead, it’s been a big source of regret. If you’re thinking about getting one, don't!

My experience with Holiday Inn Club Vacations has been a complete nightmare. Their customer service is impossible to work with. They do not see a person, only a profit. Do not sign or agree to anything they present you. I have a contract that seems impossible to get out of. They expect you to pay for a service that is not worth it.

My wife and I are deeply disappointed with our experience with the Holiday Inn timeshare. Life circumstances, including personal health issues (I had a TIA stroke in 2023), have made it virtually impossible for us to plan vacations, leaving the timeshare completely unused since we purchased it. Unfortunately, we believe we're sending money to something we just can’t use. The maintenance fees are another major issue for us. They keep increasing, making it financially unsustainable for us in the long run. To make matters worse, on the rare occasions we’ve been able to plan time off, there were no desirable locations available. Holiday Inn’s timeshare program has been a frustrating and costly commitment for us, and we strongly regret our decision to invest in it. We sincerely hope the company takes these customer concerns seriously because as of right now, this appears to be a one-sided deal.

Holiday Inn Club Vacations locks you into memberships with no easy way out—how is that fair? Your only escape is to pass it on to someone else, who then gets stuck with climbing fees. Is this what you signed up for? The endless cycle of rising costs and no clear exit strategy is infuriating. Don’t let yourself fall into this trap. Stay far away from this company!
