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.
