- This is my Westgate Myrtle Beach Review! We wasted precious time and money here and I would not do it again! This was a very bad if not horrible experience for myself and my family to go through on what was otherwise a wonderful family vacation. If you come, please consider my Westgate Myrtle Beach Review.
Disclaimer:
This review is solely my opinion of the Westgate Myrtle Beach property from my experience staying here from August 3 - August 6, 2019. It is only my intent to warn others of what they may experience if they come to this particular resort to stay for the timeshare presentation and the uncomfortable accommodations they might experience. This is only to give the potential future guest something to consider before paying for a potential experience.

I am a Blue green owner. The last time we came to Myrtle Beach, we were stuck in the dumpiest room we could be put in. The facility was so run down. After they get your money it seems like they don't care as much about you. 😕
Oh no, that is so unfortunate... I wish they would pay it forward to their loyal owners and put money into the property for the owners and guests.
And after hours if the presentation when you say no they become arrogant with you
I manage a franchise hotel and some of those issues are simply management related, some are probably just the owner not wanting to spend money and not the managers fault. No excuses really. Myrtle Beach hotels are busy year-round and you will have scratches, dings and things of that nature. However, the lack of upkeep is disturbing and as you pointed out...very outdated. The time-share "deals" and such always run longer and they use hard-sell techniques to try and force you into buying into their "great" deal lol. Great review and I enjoyed the video. Keep up the good work, I always love to hear how guests and others look at hotels and how they shape their opinions as keeping our guests happy is the main part of our jobs!!! Be safe out there and keep the great vids coming!
Great review! These type of video’s are really helpful!❤️👍🏽
Thank you!!! 🤗✨💕
I'm a Westgate owner at Gatlinburg and we exchanged to stay at Myrtle Beach back in 2017. Westgate said it was an upgrade so they tried to charge us $500 for the exchange. It was not an upgrade. I asked why they considered it an upgrade, one person said it was larger than our Gatlinburg unit, which it was not. When we arrived, the first thing we noticed was one bed had a broken post and it caused the be to sit lopsided so you can't tell me that the cleaning staff didn't notice it. Then we noticed blood on the wall, carpet, and curtains! To finish it all off the air condition went out two days before we left. It was miserable but we did get our money back. By the way, the parking garage was in the same shape back in 2017 and looked like it had been that way for years, so who knows how long that unfinished mess has been there.
Wow... that is just horrible! 🙁
The parking garage was done by the time we came in May. We stayed in the Tower in a one bedroom suite. Full kitchen....the sofa was a sleeper so we had company for one night. I have no complaints. I was having health issues so staying close by was a must. We cooked in to save money. The view was beautiful. Very humid through and hard to breathe but over it was a great vacation.
I work at a resort in Gatlinburg and I can tell you this is a direct result of poor management. Thanks for doing your video!
Hello Don! Thank you so much for watching 🙌🏽
Worked there a decade ago...June 2010-september 2010...as a timeshare sales rep. The older building was once a Holiday inn that was never remodeled, & @ the time the CEO was going through multiple lawsuits.
We own in Gatlinburg and agree it is very well kept. I was looking for reviews on Myrtle Beach & now am considering not going! It’s sad that Westgates owner or management team doesn’t do a yearly visit to each property to see the state that they are in. I feel that it is Westgates responsibility to investigate “THEIR” properties and make sure they are up to par. It sounds like this manager needs to be terminated! Thanks for the great review.
Great review and I love that you showed the things you were talking about.
Thank you! 🤗✨
Thank you for the honest review! You gave them every opportunity to receive a good review, but they made their choice. Thanks to you and your review I find it easy to make my choice...I won't be choosing this establishment! I wish I could find more review video's like yours.
Thank you so much Charlotte, and I’m glad this review was able to help you 🤗✨
Very helpful review for trip planning! Love the travel packing videos too!
Thank you so much Laura!!! 🤗✨
We used to own a motel down there. It was not one of these big nice fancy motels either, I'll be the first to admit that. I will have to say that we cleaned it up and kept it that way. We cleaned the pool area up and had it redone. The rooms smelled musty and smoky. We took the carpet up in all rooms and put down a flooring that looked like wood. Didn't want to put down real wood being people coming in from the pool and the ocean. It would have been messed up in no time. We painted all the rooms, bought new beds and bedding. Purchased new linen, being bed sheets, pillow cases, and wash clothes. The bedside tables looked OK, just the stain didn't look all that great, we had those painted. We purchased new flat screen TV's, and the rooms looked very nice after all this. We really watch who we rented too. People out there don't care, esp when their drinking and partying. There were no smells anymore. The only thing is some people still took towels and wash clothes home with them? We were always buying new linen. But if you try and keep it clean people keep coming back and you make a lot of friends that are some good people. And they keep returning. As long as its clean people don't really mind paying a little more. But as you said in your review, there are some rude people in Myrtle Beach. But were not all like that. Hope you come back and hope you have a better experience. We all work hard for what we have, and when a person goes on vacation they deserve to be treated with respect. Good luck in the future. Many Thanks!
Time share discounts are discounts! They will not put you in new units, they only tour new units. That's why you have options on the amounts you want to spend. I'm going to be honest, looking for a discount will get you a discount room. No disrespect to you, we did the same thing. Everyone wants to save money for your family❤We figured that out years ago just like you did. Splurge on your vacation people!! Your Memories will last you a lifetime!!❤❤❤
Understood, but we’d done this several times and this was the first time we’ve had these conditions. 👍🏽
My husband worked at Westgate (in Maintenance) several years ago, and the scam they run on people for that timeshare thing was going on then, too. Lots and lots of ANGRY people. After the four-hour 90-minute tour (LOL) they harass you and bully you and insult you if you don't pay for a timeshare. The sales people are jerks. The little bit of the property shown in your video shows that it has gone down hill since my hubby worked there. :( There were some really good people working there back then, but the few good ones can't make up for terrible leadership.
We have not yet stayed at Westgate bit my friend stayed last month and she told me it was a old delapataded old motel and the 90 minute to 1hr Semanare was over 4 hrs and if this is true I will b e calling bank to tell them I was lied to and O would never sink my hard earned money into this place when I was told they even have cock roaches. Are you
Allowed a refund for being lied to about the time you have to spend deciding wheaten you would ever want to throw your money away like this?
Thank you for sharing your WGMB experience. The sales people are pushy and don't take No for an answer easily. I believe everything that you are saying, but I want to share that I have absolutely LOVED my 2 stays at WG Myrtle Beach. In 2019, we were in the old hotel section above the front lobby. Our room was very NICE with 2 queen beds. Our balcony faced the Friendly's restaurant and Amusement Park view. The pandemic threw our return time off. We bought a "Try & Buy" visit for 7 nights for July 2022. We were treated as owners and stayed in a 1 bedroom villa on the 8th floor in the tower 2000 bldg. Our view was simply beautiful with an ocean view on the right and Family Kingdom Amusement park view to our left. We were directly over the inlet that rises with the tide and people swim there. Everyone wants a safe, clean environment for their family. Hopefully others will have experiences similar to ours. I can't wait to return to Westgate Myrtle Beach!
Be blessed!💚
Can you opted out of the time share presentation? I have a 1yr old and don’t have 4 hours to just sit around😅 we are only staying for 2 nights and the amusement park view room.
We went to a Westgate resort near Disney- world in FL and for an extra few hundred they gave another week at any of their resorts as an owner. It turned out they didn’t have many properties we could reach by car and we booked a week in Myrtle Beach at the same location but we were in a renovated room in the tower. It was very nicely appointed and finishing must have been quite new. And we dodged the condo presentation because we had bought the week but at a very discounted rate. I can’t see why people would buy a timeshare or any condo unless the maintenance fees have some way of guaranteeing a limit on these costs. And over the decades my interests have shifted so a timeshare needs to have many opportunities to trade with many potential destinations. IMO the solution is for condo owners to offer a point system that a family buys and gets X weeks to use over a period of time. And when that time and / or the points are gone, it’s over..... they sell your weeks to someone else or you can buy more points to extend your affiliation. No annual fees, guaranteed access for the week you purchased and opportunity to trade ..... points do not change over time. There’s a reason people pay attorneys to terminate their ownership of condo weeks just to stop the maintenance fees. Ask General Trout .... Star Wars. Lol
Thanks for your honesty review, have a great weekend
Thank you Sis! 🙌🏽
I agree Tracy. We purchased with WG based off of a presentation at the Orlando location. I have stayed at Orlando and Tennessee locations both wete very nice Jacuzzi in master suite but when we visited the location in myrtle beach we had the same experience and ended our business with WG vased on that myrtle beach experience it reminds you of a motel versus a resort . Orlando and Tennessee were great and resort quality that has been probably 18 years ago my daughter was 4 when we went to Disney and stayed at the Orlando resort. TFS peace blessings much and continued success!!! Btw Hampton inn on Broadway offers a nice stay, we took an impromptu quick werkend trip sonce we live in Charlotte the beach for us is a quick trip booked with Hampton online and were pleasantly surprised.
Hi Denita! Charlotte was beautiful! It looks like an awesome place to live. Yes, looks like Hampton/Hilton will get most of our business from now on 🙌🏽✨
Denita Caldwell I’m from NC too!!
Hi Denita, your review was also great. We are also owners and loved the Orlando location as well. What we would like to know is how did you end your relationship with Westgate? We would love to do that. We are scheduled to arrive the middle of Oct. I can't wait to see what we find there.
@@Teejayeatsshopstravels Pay off your loan and dump it on someone else willing to take it for free (Ebay/TImeshare User Group). That or default on it and ruin your credit. I've taken 7 Wyndham deeds off people that way, but Wyndham is actually a good product. Maybe you will get lucky and find someone okay with Westgate.
Yeah I was wondering cause I know Orlando, Gatlingberg and Arizona are amazing
I am also a hotel housekeeper by trade and know all the dirty little secrets that take place in five star hotels in the united states! Keep your do not disturb signs on your hotel room door during your entire stay.I always keep mine on!
Why should you leave the signs on the doors?
Staying in the old hotel while you are staying for a Timeshare presentation is awful. They are supposed to tear it down. It is TERRIBLE. But once you become an owner, the other building is absolutely beautiful.
Thank you! 🙌🏽
what tower did you stay in? 1000 ?
Thanks for the review as I was just looking at this property, I may go in July 2020 and this has helped
Did u go?
Jerome Reynolds no because of the virus
I am so glad I ran across your video. Thanks for this review
omggg when you said poor motel i died 😂😂 thanks for this review really helped out!
Well, I was really looking for a review on a different location but I found yours and the part that hit me the most was the 4 hours of a meeting and talking to them, obviously the other stuff was not great either. I was going to do Westgate in Disney and thought an hour presentation would not be that bad but I don't have 4 hours to be in anything on my vacation. I only booked a 149 refundable trip and I am going to try and get out of it tomorrow I was looking for a deal and you seem very reasonable and I am surprised that you stayed for that long, thanks for your review
You’re welcome 😊
Great review sorry it wasn't the greatest stay for y'all but really helpful for all to know tho💜💜
Thank you! 😊✨
Wow Tracie. We are scheduled to arrive in October. We are owners and now after your review , we are not looking forward to our vacation. Thank you so much for the insight.
Hi Tisa! As owners you should be good! It was just the hotel part where they stick the people just visiting and going on the presentation tours... the owners part we saw was very nice 👍🏽
I'm an owner with 4 bedrooms
The beds are so comfortable, jet tub in the master suits, full kitchen, living room,
glass walkin shower.
All four of my rooms has a kitchen.
2 of them have jet tubs
All 4 have walk in glass showers.
I don't know why your so worried if your an owner.
Thank you so much for this helpful information!! Enjoy your day and have a wonderful weekend Godbless 🍃🦋🍃
You’re welcome! You have a great weekend too! 🤗✨
Work there 8 months ago doing remodeling was full of mold. Almost got sick the owners didn't want to spend money on the clean up. Bleach and covered up would not stay there
My Husband just made reservations for us at WESTGATE RESORTS ai Myrtle Bea in SC, I hope the are okay & have the standard working refrigerator & Microwave in working condition) I heard about this resort the reviews weren't good ( bed bugs , the view is of the of the parking area, d a/c blows out a foul smell etc.) Why would you have people stay in a messed up room and then have them go to a room that they made reservations for ( we made reservations for a week if this is true we've been missed greatly ) and they ( westGate ), is trying to get you to buy a Timeshare, my question is why are you showing a messed up room? That's a bad example
10 years ago (2010) I was employed with em as a timeshare sales rep. 2 weeks of training then we hit the sales floor 4th of July weekend (2010). Told us the new building was gonna be built within a matter of years..10 years later (2020) not a bit of construction has been made. Previously it was an old Holiday Inn
Thats the real problem. They buy old outdated properties and take too long to renovate them.
@@jeromereynolds3076 PREACH🙌🙌
Hey Tracie! I have heard several people say it isn't a good idea to get a time share. This is a nice looking hotel from the outside. My family and I was thinking about staying here when we go back to Myrtle Beach at the end of this month. I'm glad you did this review, we will not be staying there. 👎
Oh wow, glad I could help 🙌🏽
My hubby and I own at the smoky mountain one . We love it . I want to try the branson one I've heard it's nice:) I seen that on your last part :)
Hi Kimberly! Awesome! 🤗💗
Thanks for review, keep them coming
You’re welcome 😉
Hello all we just left this exact hotel last month and it was horrible..we was supposed to do the time share the 20th we got there on the 19th we left the next morning and book V.I.P....was horrible we was supposed to do the time share thru them......please be advised nothing has changed since this video was posted...nothing!!!!!!....was of a 4hr drive....never again.
OMG! Hampton Inns are always our choice. Tfs. xoxo
I know, right Sadie? Hampton’s are excellent! 🙌🏽✨ It’s like you don’t ever have to second guess!
Wait where's the jacuzzi tub? All the ones I've been to don't even have tiny tubs like that. It look like a tub from a roach motel not any Westgate room i stepped foot in
Hi Tracie.!👋🏼 Were going thru reviewing all your past vlogs as new subscribers.🤗 As for Westgate Myrtle Beach what a bust!👎🏽🙃👎🏽 Feel you on the review! We've been there done that resort years ago🧐 wasn't the best stay back then won't go back. 🙄 One of annual trips we take is at Westgate Town Center Resort in Orlando for past 20 years! Were OG's to resort tour's, we'll take the freebies but Never purchased!🤣 However, nowadays no tours please for us!🧐 If your ever in Orlando try the Towncenter..they do very well to accommodate newbies..we do our family reunion there successfully! Also, it's a great place to get Disney or Universal free park passes of course with a tour 🤔🎢🎡.#UniversalPassholders👍🏼..Thanks for the Branson shoutout..that's on our bucket list! Love your channel.🏃🏽♀️
Awww 🥰 thank you!!! And thank you for the tip on Orlando- we went in 2011 and really enjoyed it- I would love to go to Epcot again, it’s very romantic for couples ❤️ We’ve done a lot of tours also but always make a pack before we go in that we’re not going to purchase! lol 😂 Thank you for spending time with us! 😊💗💗🍃
Hey sis sweet I was going to go to Myrtle Beach by I switch my vacation plans to go to fort Lauderdale Florida oh wow just looking at this little bit of you over the balcony looks good let's get started 👍👍 👍😁
Hi Emma! Oh wow! Ft Lauderdale sounds really nice!!! Enjoy 🤗✨🙌🏽💕
Thank you for an honest review.
Great Review. Thank you for sharing. I was offered to do the presentation at Westgate. I'm glad that we didn't go.
Hi Ro! I love some Westgate properties, Myrtle Beach is the only one that so bad that I know of 😕
I’m with Wyndham I loved my stay I was in a presidential
When did you go there cuz now they r doing renovation....
Yes, I think they tore that old part down recently
Thank you so much for this detailed review. My sister and I are heading there in a couple of weeks from a owners referral coupon. We need this vacation so much. We’ve even extended a few extra days. I hope we don’t regret it. We’ll be in the towers. Do you think we’ll be ok? 😕
Hi! Yes! As I understand the tower is nice, so you should be fine. Have fun!!! Please let me know how things went after you get back 👍🏽✨
Tracie's Place I sure will! Thanks again for posting your review.
Tracie's Place By the way, do you have any other recommendations about the Myrtle Beach area? ie, restaurants, etc. This will be our first time to SC.
Hi! If you check my Myrtle Beach video linked at the end of this video, all the fun places are named and detailed 🤗
Tracie's Place Thank you!❤️
What was the rate you got the room?
Can’t remember the rate. But I know it was good but for an average room that does not encourage anyone to buy and THATS the problem 👍🏽
With the dues all of us owners pay, the facility should be nicer. Wondering if some pocket lining is going on. 🤔
I wonder too... 🤔
My family owns one. We’ve been to several location over the years: Orlando mostly, Las Vegas, Gatlinburg, Miami, Hawaii, and South Beach, FL. However, my wife (as an owner) requests a new bungalow if she doesn’t like the one we’re given. Also, when she doesn’t use it she rents it out for about by the night. And, since it operates like a hotel, she doesn’t have to worry about maintenance and upkeep. Families liked it because everyone was under one roof.
Note: this was bought before Air BNB was a thing, which makes timeshare obsolete now.
Great info 👍🏽
Well I'm not sure when this video was made but we just came back 2 weeks ago from staying there and we had the greatest experience ever. The rooms were clean, modern and beautiful and looked nothing like what was depicted here, so maybe they completely renovated. Hardwood floors, big beautiful comfortable beds, everything was pristine and clean. Honestly I will never stay anywhere else when I'm in Myrtle Beach ..,they treated us so great and they're so pet friendly also. I'm sorry that you had a bad experience.
Hi Ava! My stay was in August 2019! So glad it’s been renovated and that they heard the complaints of the people! Awesome that you had a great stay! We were there on conditions of a time share presentation- did you have to go through that at all?
@@traciesplace hi Tracy! No we weren't there for the timeshare thing we just were on a random family vacation, and it was so difficult to find a hotel that was not a dump, that allowed pets, as we had three dogs and a bird LOL. We started out with a street view room that was pretty small but on Monday they let us upgrade to a two-bedroom oceanfront for absolutely free, and we thought that was the greatest! The only complaint I did have was that they never refunded our dog deposit and I cleaned the rooms myself before we left and they were spotless. The parking situation is still a hot mess, but that dingy half parking garage looking thing at least is not there anymore. It's just a plain parking lot with some pretty trees. They are building a seven-story parking garage on the right hand side of the hotel so hopefully that will help out with parking in the future as we had to park two blocks away. Not sure if I would ever do the timeshare as I have not heard very good reviews about the presentation itself. Can I ask you how you got involved in that did they seek you out or did you find them? Thanks!
I always stay in tower 2000.
My rooms have full kitchens, glass walk in shower, Jet tub in master suites, living room. The beds are so comfortable.
I hope they upgrade tower 1000 for people who don't own.
I'm sorry you had that experience.
It's crazy cause Thats how all the Westgate rooms I ever been in are.
Glad you had a okay stay the put us in a building where the balcony door was locked up and the ice despiser gave black mold ice and we never got any service
I stayed at that hotel and the main door
was always stuck and the phone wouldn't work 😒
Westgate is normally very good. I’ve stayed at a couple different locations. The Smokey Mountain Resort is our favorite. But keep in mind that everywhere has been short on staff this past year too. Thanks for sharing
Yes, we love Westgate usually and have been to the one in the Smokey Mountains. This was a year before the Pandemic though when things were fully staffed.
Thank you for the heads up. This is very sad specially being an owner at another WG place. Only heaven is beautiful. Blessings
You’re welcome and blessings to you too 🙏🏽💗
Thanks for sharing 😊! I WILL NEVER STAY HERE! even though it will be me and my brothers first time to myrtle beach well to any beach!
FYI, they are in the process of remodeling that garage, thats why its like that.
That’s been under construction toooo long…
They did the same to me and my husband in Vegas they give you a low budget room so when you see the property for sale you will be blown away it's like a trick of the mind!!! 😢😊
👍🏽🙌🏽
My family and I are planning a vacation for next year in Myrtle Beach. I am at a loss for where we can stay at an affordable rate because there are more bad reviews than good. Thanks for the information and I definitely will not be staying here.
You’re welcome 🙌🏽
Wow, that's place is disgusting. I thought about staying there, but nevermind now. Thank you so much for sharing.
You’re welcome! 🙌🏽
Me and my family went also for the presentation, we wasn’t staying there. But, we got told 90 minutes and it took 4 and half hours. The lady at the end final closure or whatever she was. Got really mad at us for not purchasing and said we wasted her time. It was awful.
Hi! Yes, it should be illegal what and how they are doing this... 😕
Agreed! We had a similar situation..2 hr commitment turned into almost all day, no exaggeration! Plus,Saleslady was adamant for our commitment once we refused to sign she called over her Supervisor,and he got upset we wouldnt commit either and therefore gave us over to their finanical dept mgr..he made another sales pitch and tried to final the deal. Our refusal meant nothing to them.We were again ushered into another dept so that we could sign out/off and treated poorly once we said enough is enough! We spent 5 1/2 hrs for the Timeshare presentation,being driven to sev Condo viewings,and a plethora of Sales pitches. We were done and leaving with or without any freebies.
@@jeaniea8006 worked there as timeshare sales rep in 2010, & it appears nothing has changed a decade later.
Yes me and my family stayed at the one in Orlando westgate town center it was nice but they lied to us about the room we would be staying in 3bd they gave us a two presentation was 4 and half hours after they told us 90 min we got our Disney tickets and left they gave us option to come back and stay for 7 days 2,500 so we did but during that time we were still harassed after paying all that money about buying into there time share they are very aggressive I refused to stay another 4 hours after paying all that money I had to lie and tell them my pd was on and I needed to shower and order to leave but the property was nice it was cheaper for my family of 6 to stay here then on Disney property
@@jeaniea8006this happened to us last week crazyy… they manipulate so many ppl so well
UGH we just booked our trip for that place next year, GOING TO CANCEL and try Gatlinburg TN instead
Thank you soooo much we was going to book until we saw you channel however definitely not staying there thanks for sharing😧
You’re welcome 😊
Great review. I hope they see it.
Thank you Sis! I hope they make some changes because so many people are not happy with that area of the hotel.
Westgate has staff that monitors these reviews. They see it. Dont believe all owners get higher quality rooms because they dont. Once you own they have no reason to impress. Typical Westgate quality. As a "former" owner, I will NEVER own again. I will "rent" from other owners. Alot cheaper. I like the resort in Kissimmee(Vacation Villas) 2 bedroom with loft. Older units but I love the layout and the grounds. I will NEVER own there again. Its cheaper to rent. Your first mistake was agreeing to the timeshare tour. Its NEVER 90 minutes unless you know what to do and say.
😅 thanks for sharing,it helps us to be more mindful 🙏🏿
My pleasure 😊
OMG!! You're right what a waste of time and money my opinion is timeshare are a bad investment I know people regret buying them to hard to get out of I feel bad for you guys a least you know and can warn others thanks for sharing 😊
I know, right? I’m a little leary of them although I get mixed stories depending on the timeshare company. I hear Wyndham is pretty good on the other hand... 🤷🏽♀️
That's so sad they flat out don't care. And I have always been scared of timeshares because I heard they do that to people keep them longer and try to force you to buy their timeshare. I just stay away from them.
Yes, the timeshares can be a mess and a very tricky process... I’d have to have a lot of extra money to throw around to get involved, it’s really something 😏
You literally just have to tell them no you don't wanna buy and thats it.
I've stayed at different westgate properties and never had a bad experience. When we did our presentation we were there about a hour and 30 mins only because we were doing paperwork. But ima do a review when we go in October.
🤗👍🏽✨
What proof of income did you need?
@@tyriexs5 none
The timeshares are always not good. I mever buy them because of what you just shared ....I love myrtle beach but it looks lile y'all still made the best of it...also I clean for a living that bathroom was definitely off limits I would not have stayed there I would have gotten a discount and got a room at a different property...I'm upset for y'all lol thanks for the heads up...
Hi Misty! Thank you, I surely wish we could’ve moved but there are so many “no vacancies” at this time of year... that would have made our stay sooo much better 🤗✨
@@traciesplace I'm glad you didn't bring the old-fashioned timer alarm to go off after the 90 minutes were up. 👀🤣😂.
Westgate was horrible when we stayed too. Bugs and bait & switch. Had us to believe we were staying at the connecting bldg per the pics online and over priced! No good sleep that weekend
Oh wow, so sorry to hear that 👍🏽
Recently had almost similar experience in Gatlinburg Tennessee. To make it worse we had more children with her Cindy kept his hostage. Present is with very upset that we would not give a down payment of 40000 dollars after 3 hour presentation and commit to free tells and others monthly plus yearly fees and taxes totaling over 2000 dollars. That is a scam
Thanks I was going to go but forget it
Not a good look. My wife and I are West Gate owners and want to get rid of our Timeshare. Where do maintenance fees go? We pay $900 every other year. Our home property is in Orlando. Thanks for sharing this video!
👍🏽
stayed here for every summer for about 9 years and it was always incredible! so sorry for your bad experience!
Oh well.....her story is still valid.
They redid a lot and building out new condos. I went back in September
Oh good 🙌🏽
My sister and her husband did a deal like this for a different hotel and company but their experience matched yours. Their room was nicer but held captive for 4 hours at the presentation.
Yes… 😏
How do you get out of the presentation? I don’t want it anyway. I have a 1yr old and really don’t have that time to sit there, very impatient baby lol
Wow, I almost booked a room here for next months getaway with my family. Glad I saw your video beforehand.
Thanks for the review. I just crossed Westgate off my list. Lol
They have some great resorts at other destinations- just at the time of our visit it was this way at Myrtle Beach location 🏖️ sadly. Enjoy your vacation 🙌🏽☀️
I can't believe that parking garage! Holy cow.
I know, right? 👍🏽
FYI the sales person doesn’t assign your room :)
Yall get yalls free tickets to eat an for the water parks rides that's why yall go to them meeting for free stuff lol
I work here I was born and raised in Myrtle Beach one thing about this hotel used to be a holiday and back in the late 60s
👍🏽✨
Yes you can tell this hotel does have some age. What are the prices for the room and the timeshares presentation? Also can I book a a time next year around July 4th🤣🤣 time to turn up
A good place to stay at is Crescent Shores
I am so sorry you had a bad experience
Thank you 🙂
Oh absolutely not! NOPE NOPE NOPE. I knew immediately when you started walking down the hallway to the room.
🤗✨🙌🏽
We purchased a west gate timeshare in gatlinburg tn. Before we got to stay it burned down . They switched us to west gate to myrtle beach without our permission. It was absolutely horrible . The size difference we lost and then they wanted to charge us more . I told them it wasn’t happening . We didn’t sign any papers for them to change us to the beach . They wanted to change our dates when we could go , I was not happy . We no longer have the timeshare and will never own another one again .
Wow 👍🏽
Well I stay there two weeks every summer and I am not a owner but the room we get every year is extremely nice and the staff is always friendly your reviewing the cheapest room they offer so no it’s not going to be their top notch room if you can’t afford the nicer room doesn’t mean they don’t have them you get what you pay for
👍🏽✨
I used to sell the timeshare there they purposefully make the hotel side terrible so that you take a tour and you see the timeshare part and they can try and sell you and timeshare. So yes they purposefully do not upkeep the hotel side and don't let me get into how they get you to buy a timeshare...horrible.
Thank you so much for that info Cyndi! They lessened our chances of buying with keeping the hotel side so bad and the horrible selling tactics 👍🏽✨
Yeah I would go back to Hampton Inn and wouldn’t pay for a time share at that place
I appreciate this video, but I'm really mad I didn't see it before I booked under the same type of promotion. This puts a new meaning of too good to be true. They should be ashamed of themselves for this!! I'm bringing my own everything, even cleaning supplies!!
I really hope they have done some updating since🤞🏽
Thank you for the review!! We will not be staying at this property.
The one in Orlando on Turkey Lake is nice
Good informative video . 😀
Thank you! 😊
@@traciesplace Welcome 😀
Very helpful.
Awesome! Glad to help 🤗✨
You'd think they'd wanna put you in great rooms so you'd be more likely to buy
Yes, that what I would think 🤔
thank you, telling it like it is
You’re welcome! 🤗✨
Literally just had the same experience word for word.
Wow 👍🏽
Richard, you stayed at this one just recently?
Looks like you stayed on the hotel side of the property and not actually in the tower where the owners stay in. The structure that where you showed where the cars were parking underneath, that was supposed another tower. Westgate was originally going to build 3 towers on that property. How you saw all that has been like that since 2009 - 2010. Me personally I would never buy a timeshare because you don’t actually own anything. All you own is whatever week you purchased. If you’re looking for a vacation home because you like a certain destination and plan on visiting a lot. Then purchase your own condo and you can go whenever you want. You don’t have to worry to see if there’s availability or not it you wanna go last minute. Just my opinion.
Thanks for the tips 👍🏽
Very fair review.
Thank you!
Thanks for your information. I will definitely not stay with them in Myrtle Beach. Always remember that your agreement was a 90 minute presentation, you are not obligated to stay beyond that and Westgate must honor the offer. Good review.
Thanks for sharing
Girl, I know all about those “Time Shares”, and NO MA’AM. I didn’t even purchase one when they offered a time share to my Husband & me. I could tell that they just wanted our money only. A sho nuff rip off, in my opinion only, Sis.😕
I agree, although I’ve heard some are very good- a lady at my church has one with Wyndham and they love it. But it’s a tricky little business 😏
Las Vegas westgate is alot better and also westgate in Florida and the westgate smokey mountains in gatlinburg TN
I own several timeshares in Orlando Florida one in ocean city Maryland and one in Vegas. I will agree with you that west gate will put in their phase one places. I’m quick to let them know that’s unacceptable because owners pay a lot of money for maintenance and your not maintaining their investment. I think their awful foolish not to put you in one go their nicer places, especially if they want you to purchase. I’m not a fan of Westgate. Yes they have some beautiful properties but they also have some horrible ones that needs to be redone.
Thank you for the review...No, I would not pay to stay there.
You’re welcome 😊
Seems like they tried everything to help you!
They could help by tearing down that hotel and building a new one- no one wants to go on vacation thinking you’re going to be staying at the beautiful place that is advertised on the website to then be UNCOMFORTABLE for your stay away from home 💁🏽♀️🏡
@@traciesplace EXACTLY you're right this person is gaslighting you.
@@tyriexs5 I agree they probably work at that awful place.
Oh wow my fiance and I are getting married in August 2022 this year and I was thinking about booking here for a small honeymoon. HA! NOT NOW!!
So glad I could help 🤗✨💗
