   It is my favorite hotel. They have free computer use downstairs along with fireplaces, tv’s, free hot cocoa and coffee. The beds are to die for, they are the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. It is very clean and the service is awesome. I 100% recommend this hotel. Also, you get a free full buffet breakfast with eggs and bacon, etc for 2 each morning.

   I have had two ownership weeks with them for a few years. If you’re going to do time share I would recommend Marriott or Starwood (Hilton, Westin) operations. Very reputable. Good properties. They’ll always keep them up. You might want to check out the resale market, though. You can often buy weeks for much less than you can directly though Marriott. Don;t look at these things as great investments, though. They’re not. But if you want to use them as a vacation every year, they’re just wonderful.

   My parents own one, and if you have the money for the initial investment and maintenance fees, a bit of patience to deal with the somewhat-convoluted points system (not THAT bad though), and the time and resources to force yourself to take vacations often, it’s a sound purchase that pays for itself after about a decade—but with great accomodations.

   One problem is the relative lack of Marriott Properties, but that’s minor. There are worldwide properties you can trade for through Interval International, but those can be sketchy.

   Executive Summary: it’s a good deal, and I’d recommend it, but there are things to keep in mind, and some things that will bug you.
