WARNING: WESTGATE PARK CITY IS A SCAM!

This from a recent visitor to the Westgate Park City, and very impressive numbers we might add.

We sat through a 2 hour high pressure sales pitch at the Westgate Park City Resort & Spa last week. At the end we were told the price for a 900 square foot 1 bedroom unit was $38,000 (that's with a special "today only" 5% discount). For that we were guaranteed 8 days and 7 nights usage BUT we couldn't be guaranteed what week we could use it but that the 1st week in March wasn't their busy time so that "shouldn't be a problem."

However, the fine print at the bottom of the page said week 9 (the first week in March) would cost an extra $10,000 and that weeks 51 and 52 an extra $20,000. So 49 x $38,000 + 1 x $48,000 + 2 x $58,000 means Westgate will collect $2,026,0000 for a 900 square foot apartment which works out to $2251/square foot or about double what Westgate owner David Seigel's house

reportedly will cost.

Run, don't walk, away from this.
