ll or xxx, or whatever you're calling yourself, give it up. You're pathetic. Your time would be better spent learning how to spell than obsessing over Nina.

As the original poster, I feel obligfated to restore some order here.

To cyberstalker: Give it up on the spelling thing. It's a lame attempt at a slam.

To Nina: I do appreciate your input, but in fact I was confused by it, too. For a moment, I thought you were trying to tell me that $1300 was a good deal because the apartments were so expensive to buy. Not a criticism of you -- just lacking a bit of clarity.

To everyone else, thanks. However, it appeared to me that your had to be a member to access just about any part of the TUG web site.

Biggie, do you have to listen to a Timeshare shpeel?

If so, it's not worth it.

biggie

No spiel required. Heard it already.

Hi Biggie,
Not sure if you have made your decision yet, but I'll throw this out in case you are still undecided. My brother and sister-in-law were offered this same 7 night deal at the Manhatten Club in Jan.2002 - only the price was $800.00. They purchased it, and have thoroughly enjoyed themselves. They've used up most of their time already, and are very impressed with the accomodations and especially the location. It's very centrally and an easy walk to Times Square and many of the other major attractions. (We've been invited to join them for their last 2 nights in Dec., hence my visit to this website. Can't wait to see the city decorated for Christmas!) The price you quoted is $500.00 higher than their "deal". I'm sure the price was lower then because it was shortly after 9/11, but my point is, you might be able to negotiate a lower price. I agree with some of the other "posters" that $1300 is a bit too high considering the availability of quality rooms at great prices on the various discount travel sites. Good luck, and maybe I'll see you at the Manhatten Club! I hope you will let all of us know what you decided.

Ok, we didn't go for the deal at the M Club, but friends of ours did, and here's what they say:

Overall, they like it. The room they got on their first visit wasn't as nice as the sample they saw, but it wasn't bad, either. Also, they love the location, and said the service was efficient and friendly.

It seems the big decision is whether you'll be able to use the 7 nights in NY. We balked because we weren't sure; our friends say they will -- they're theater-goers.

All in all, it appears the M Club is an OK deal, not a rip-off. But, gee, wait till I tell them that the same deal was $800 a year ago!

I also know someone who purchased there. She loved it because she enjoyed going into the city, and if you go in during the week, it's not easy getting a reasonable rate, especially at times others are off for vacations [she was a teacher and would go in on days school was off]. She was very happy with it. The location is excellent, on 56th between 7th and Broadway, and although she said she sometimes got a smaller room, it wasn't something that happened regularly. It depended on availability on the dates requested. If you're interested in frequent visits to the city, it can be a good thing, especially if those stays involve weeknights, which are more expensive.
