Wyndham Hotels & ResortsReviews of microtelinn.com

I have never disliked a company more than Wyndham. I have only dealt with them for a few months. But it’s truly been a miserable experience. My wife and I went to a presentation and heard all these wonderful things about the vacation package (they said it was NOT a timeshare). We decided to take the dive and found out later that it was all different than we had been promised during the sale. I read other horrific reviews of Wyndham and found that our situation was quite similar to others. We fell for the same scam most people here did. It looks like Wyndham has a habit of not disclosing fees or telling people that their family will inherit the TIMESHARE, and not allowing the contracts to be cancelled even when THEIR salespeople are negligent. I hope this saves someone else from the frustration the rest of us have endured.

Wyndham is complete garbage! Nothing but lies and deception from the start! DO NOT BUY WYNDHAM TIMESHARES. Beware of the false promises and outright fraudulent lies. The sales team deceived me by telling me that I was buying actual property in Hawaii when indeed, their timeshares are worthless and nothing more than a giant, costly burden. They went as far as to say that buying a unit with them and renting it out will allow you to make passive income. What a load of BS! They will say anything to get you to sign their timeshare contracts! No matter how many times we declined, their salesmen would not take NO for an answer. They are a despicable company for not being truthful about the TRUE COST of their junk timeshares! You end up paying an ASTRONOMICAL price for something you can get at a fraction of the price online. Their availability is the worst! Good luck booking anywhere you actually want to stay! Their entire timeshare scheme is fraudulent. Wyndham timeshares will ruin you financially. Read what others are saying about them! They clearly have a HUGE problem with their truth in lending practices but somehow get away with it through legal loopholes and strong-arm contracts! What does it say about a company who practically forces you to open a credit card to pay them? IT MEANS IT’S A RIP OFF!!!! SHAME ON WYNDHAM! I will continue to EXPOSE these deceptive sales practices!

Wyndham is garbage! Worst “investment” ever. Our experience with them had been nothing short of a disaster. It all starts with a high-pressure sales meeting and once you’re locked in, they try and get you to attend more and more meetings! If Wyndham cared about their owners, they’d give you the proper package the first time you buy; instead of constantly getting us to upgrade to enhance our experience. Beware of their “owners’ orientations”! They lied about priority booking and they lied about the “free” vacation we were promised. You would think a prominent name like Wyndham would mean quality resorts and value but as it turns out it’s all just a swindle. I highly recommend avoiding buying Wyndham timeshare and don’t bother staying at the properties. If there was a way to rate them lower than 1 star I absolutely would! NEVER would have done business with them if I knew their true intention and their lousy availability!

All this company has done in my experience is commit FRAUD. Wyndham used multiple salesmen, lies, and pressure to sell my husband and I a contract. The purchase price was $58,000, and that was AFTER a $43,200 discount! We accepted because our salesman made a big deal about it being an investment toward our future since it was a real estate purchase. After traveling a couple of times, we realized it was not worth the outrageous amount we are paying for it. We found out later that there is no real estate. We purchased useless points that have ZERO value on the market! What’s worse is the fact that we were not told about the extra costs. Maintenance fees are $2,900 + per year, plus $87,000 in interest over the ten-year loan!!! I am currently paying over $12,000 per year and all I have gotten is trouble making reservations. On the off chance I can actually book something, it’s never to anywhere I WANT to go since availability is scarce!

WYNDHAM WARNING: If you are disabled or sick, stay away from Wyndham. Even if you aren’t, you should run from these compassionless soul suckers. Their employees lied to sell me the timeshare I bought. Everything I was told from the start was a misrepresentation of facts. It’s not the real estate investment they promised. It is a financial nightmare. The easy reservations they promised is a joke. I have only been able to vacation once in over 3 years. RCI was supposed to be useful for reservations also, but even with that, I cannot find anything available anywhere! They even lied about point values. I was told that I could stay in a resort during the off season for about 7,500 points. Well, it turned out to be 30,000 points per night! HUGE difference! To make matters worse, I have been diagnosed with a rare form of incurable cancer and can no longer travel. Even with this knowledge, Wyndham will not let me out of the contract. I won’t even live long enough to pay off the loan, and they don’t care! Jay Smith & Delinda Johnson-Smith

We first learned of Wyndham when we visited “Broadway on the Beach” in South Carolina in June 2018. We were approached by one of their employees at the visitor’s center and offered discounted tickets to different local attractions if we were to attend a one-hour presentation. We agreed with every intention of making NO purchases. This began with a tour of the Ocean Blvd location where we were told that the only way to stay at a resort of that caliber was to be an owner. No matter how many times we said no, she continued to press upon us all the amazing things that we could experiences as owners; VIP access at Disney World, the bonus points that we would receive, the investment opportunity, and the rental income that we could make. We have since learned that none of this is true! Every time we have tried to use this membership, we have been subject to “owners update meetings”, which are really just more pressure-cooker sales presentations. In each of these situations, we have been subjected to lies, degrading comments when we refuse the demands of their employees, and deceptive sales tactics that have put us in a situation where we now owe this company THOUSANDS of dollars for NOTHING. I cannot believe a publicly-traded company can treat people in this way with no consequences.

Buying my timeshare through this company has been a HUGE mistake. I was not properly informed during the sale about what I was really getting and have complained to WorldMark and have been ignored! The salesman I dealt with promised I would have rental income, which is not possible. He neglected to tell me that I would be stuck paying maintenances fees for the rest of my life. I was lied to about credit reporting and told that the “mortgage” would NEVER be reported to the credit bureaus. I found out that was a lie after my credit score took a significant hit, especially because they ran it TWICE. I also found an additional account on my credit because the salesman opened a credit line (separate from the mortgage) WITHOUT MY CONSENT!! This “investment” has turned in to a catastrophic financial burden.

I have never been so disappointed with a company as I have been with Wyndham. I expected that my husband and I would be told the truth and get what we paid for, especially from such a large, well-known company. Unfortunately, this is not what happened. The staff is aggressive, and they will tell all sorts of tall tales if it means they make a commission. The presentations are not an hour or so long. Expect to be there for a minimum of 4 hours. If they promise you access to Disney World resorts, it’s a lie. When they say that you can will the timeshare to your family, keep in mind that they will be responsible for the high fees associated with the timeshare. During an upgrade presentation, we were told that a $9,000 deposit would be refunded to us, but we never saw that money again. Interest rates and total costs are never disclosed. Nothing was done properly or truthfully. Don’t let these scammers take your money. We have dealt with physical symptoms of the stress this situation has caused and would never want anyone else to go through the same thing.
