presley;1591404<snip>ETA: Shell went out of business for a reason. However said:
Assumptions TOTALLY on your part. :annoyed:
Shell was a system long on Western USA resort locations - esp in some major cities. Small in number of resorts, it had very nice places and warrented trades into Marriotts, Starwoods, Hyatts in the II world of quality demand screening.
Wyndham is getting bigger by constantly increasing fees - such as its $99-299 fees which are CORPORATE FEEs and NOT related to its HOA costs. The HOA cost are increasing EVERY YEAR due to its 5 year refurnishment SCHEDULE using the standard Wyndham contractor and suppliers with a fixed PERCENTAGE rate contract. Wyndham increased it computer/phone service fees from $.54 to $.57 per 1,000 points owned (minimum form $109 to 124 per member number), ETC, ETC ,ETC --- yet the updated online reservation system (named Voyager here and elsewhere) should really be named VIKING for it funeral ships sent off in a blaze of glory ... is it 3 or now 4 years, this particular illusion has had its own life?
Increasing fees for the bottom line while providing poorer and more outdated services does NOT make a good product. Wyndham corporate management comes from the Sales departments -- not the resort and hospitality field, but from the smoke and mirrors departments.
