TripAdvisor reports are not favorable

Airline Free Tickets and Vouchers Scam (2022) - Scam Detector
Friend in Illinois followed up on that, also was at the local Marriott, though the presentation has nothing to do with Marriott's time share division. Sure enough, it was an UNSOLICITED "invitation", the "airline" tickets and the "free stay" were, as you guessed, contingent on BUYING additional time, and impossible to coordinate the dates and the schedule. The entire "production" was to sell a much larger, longer, resort vacation package that our friends found could be done through their own travel agent for LESS.... they also said the coffee was COLD, the cookies were store brands, and the sandwiches were "stale"....LOL ! Go to a movie instead
