Marriott Shadow Ridge (Villages)
Carlsbad Inn
Prices on Marriott.com. This is utterly crazy.
With taxes, yes. I think you can get 4 Seasons Hualalai for less (not 2BR).What’s that, about $1,250 a night? Trying to make owners feel better about MFs.
Yeah, those run $2,500-4,500. We traded into a 2BR with an MRD 1BR.there're way cheaper listings in redweek.
There are no shortage of Marriott Park City weeks on redweek.comI think that’s a reasonable price for downtown Park City, Marriott, and across the street from the town lift. However, the arrival and departure dates are fairly late in the ski season, and I’d expect to see those rates earlier in March, rather than later in March.
I know many families that would not blink and eye at those rates, during the first three weeks of March.
In the eyes of a Marriott timeshare owner, the rates may seem preposterous. Honestly, I believe that rates like these, strengthen the MVC Value Proposition.
As you well know, there are dramatically lower rates to be had on RedWeek.com. Remember, the Marriott rates include daily housekeeping and Marriott Bonvoy points, thereby making the Value Proposition a deal breaker (tongue in cheek).
We saw similar rates on www.marriott.com for Desert Springs Villas, for March 2025, and astronomical rates for the same period at the JW Marriott Desert Springs, for a hotel room.
The thing is, the vast majority of the general non-timeshare-owning public is not aware of Redweek. For them, they would see the rates on marriott.com and assume that their only option is to pay those prices. Even a majority of timeshare owners don't know about sites like Redweek, Koala, etc. They don't even know about TUG.There are no shortage of Marriott Park City weeks on redweek.com
667 between the two properties, with most going for half that amount.
Or less.....
It is our kids' spring break and still enough snow on the mountain. Glad our 1BR Gold Shadow Ridge pulled it.I think that’s a reasonable price for downtown Park City, Marriott, and across the street from the town lift.

IMHO, Marriott’s have increased across the board more this year and next year for Christmas, New Year’s and Spring Breaks nightly costs.
This is my opinion only.
