LTVR is now "Hilton Vacation Club Lake Tahoe Resort" as we found out at check-in. I've been somewhat following the HGV Max "upgrade" and have decided that for a couple of reasons seen on TUGBBS, it does not make sense for us. Specifically, we are silver members thanks to club combinations. Also, we frequently use the Loyalty upgrade to upgrade the room at the time of making the reservation. From what I can tell, if we "upgrade" to HGV Max, we would lose silver status, and the ability to upgrade rooms at a deep discount. Of course we could buy more points - but we're not doing that.
We heard at VIP check-in/presentation reservation that Hilton members will get a new 15-month reservation window. Has anyone else heard/confirmed that?
Now my thoughts after staying at LTVR for about 7 years every summer. Deluxe rooms are pretty much impossible to reserve, even at midnight 13-months in advance. But we've been able to book deluxe rooms on short notice via Expedia. It seems like they attract people in with deluxe rooms, but once you buy-in and become an "owner" - the available rooms (standard) are less-than-stellar. Or maybe it's because we're not Platinum members. It seems like bait-and-switch to me. It's not just this resort either. Other properties we've stayed at, the first reservation was a great room. But for later reservations at the same resort, we always seem to get a crappier room. Anyone else notice this?
