View of the new HGVC Quin across the street from W57 as viewed from the 23rd floor. It appears there are a few units with penthouse balconies. Looks like it has about 16 floors. W57 has 26 floors.

Hi. I’m on the HGVC site often but I’m not familiar with HGVC Quin. Would you please share more about it. I’ve even stayed at W57 several times. Thanks

The Quin was recently announced but not opened yet as a TS. Below is a TUG thread which may help:

https://tugbbs.com/forums/index.php?threads/hgvc-purchases-the-quin-4th-property-in-nyc.275960/
Thanks for the info. I obviously missed that one. In reading some of the post about the Quin, I agree that some areas are more saturated than others. I think the bottom line is that HGVC is trying to attract new buyers. The existing owners don’t have much of a choice.

Since other forums have this thread I thought I would start one for HGVC. Share your view from HGVC locations on this thread

Here is our view from a studio premier unit at W57 high floor. Balconies are a few floors below this room but the floor to ceiling window vistas of Central Park are fantastic. (This view is a benefit of owning NYC bHC because owners take these limited units first during resort reservation window so HGVC and RCI points traders get smaller units on lower floors creating a very different impression of W57.)

I too have stayed at W57 several times.....loved the property and the location. You are correct that reserving with points vs being an owner that the views are different. I used a considerable amount of points to reserve a one bedroom and the view was very disappointing. I didn't know why. I don't regret the reservation because I love NYC and my husband does not so much. Having the spacious area for him made it worthwhile. However, now that I know the views will likely never be an option for me as a non-owner, I would opt for a regular room instead of wasting points on a premium when I will never get the view. thanks so much for the info and the HGVC thread.

In keeping with the HGVC thread, my daughter and I stayed at the Elara in Las Vegas. The property has a great pool area, with a bar inside. The neat thing about the property is that it is connected to the mall providing many less expensive food options in the food court. The only disappointing aspect was that the room seemed dated. It is a property that they took over so I assume they upgraded the pool and lobby area but not the rooms. However, it is not a deal breaker. I would reserve it again because of the location and convenience. I was just surprised that it was listed as a HGVC property and it didn't really live up to that reputation.

Fiesta Americana Los Cabos Mexico, Unit 1202, one bedroom. One picture is looking straight out from the balcony, and the other is looking to the right. It was absolutely stunning.
YOU TOOK MY PICTURE!!! Actually, mine are from down the hall and the1300 something building! Saves me time looking for them. At least till I have time to find some of the sunrises!

Oh, I didn’t know this was a hgvc thread, I think I have been putting all kinds of views up. I don’t go through forums, I just go by thread titles.

Thanks for sharing.
Which floor were you assigned and which room type is this considered?
Just wondering if this Lagoon Tower view is classified as Oceanview (aka PLUS) or a standard view.

Most of the standard view (aka garden view) on the marina side are on the 3rd through 8th floors except for the corner two bedroom units on the marina side.

This is actually at the walkway to the beach but the views from the unit are just as nice and not far back. All units are beachfront.
