Is it sort of like check-in as you'd at a hotel, go do the presentation, and then you just enjoy the rest of the stay? Or is there papers to sign and lots of other hassles?
I own several MCVI units so I've been through the presentations. The targeted offers to stay at the properties are very attractively priced as they truly want you to experience the various amenities at the resort.
I find the Marriott presentations to be very professional and not high-pressure as you'd see at other timeshare operations. And, trust me, I've been through my share of obnoxious ones.
Marriott lets their properties speak for themselves as they offer a good product IMHO.
On your 3 or 4 night stay you check in just as you would at a hotel and then you're generally contacted the next day to set up the presentation at your convenience.
This procedure may change somewhat from location to location but this has been my experience on the few I've attended.
