Does anyone know why theyre not showing any availability at this hotel with points (or money for that matter, unless booked on external site)?

I just did a Wyndham timeshare presentation today (Sunday) in NYC and they give 30k points for it. As annoying as the timeshare sales lady was, all I had to do was sit and listen for 2 hours, and I got the points. I booked my 2 nights already. Psyched!

After seeing all the confusion online, I decided to double check my booking. Apparently the idiot rep on the phone booked me for a Ramada hotel, not the TRYP hotel.

I called back to complain, and they say that "they dont have any availability at the TRYP at this time". This stinks  :'(

I'm going to Israel in late June, so I have time and will keep checking with them to see if anything opens up.

Also, I've been asked by a member for info on how to book the timeshare presentation: I'm not sure if this is against DDF rules so feel free to take down my post if it is in violation. The guy's name was Abe (Pretty sure he's Jewish). Phone # 917-648-9435

Anyone have any update on this hotel - I'm supposed to be staying here in a month on points, but the fact that there's no availability, no breakfast (booked a long time ago when they were providing breakfast on points), and no one answers at their email address (have tried a couple times) makes me uncomfortable staying here. How are they filling up the hotel with no availability on Wyndham's website?

There's tons of availability on their own (tryp jerusalem's) site and all third party websites. Apparently they are just not bookable on Wyndham for some reason.

Breakfast isn't standard in other hotels in the chain.
Netanya recently pulled them, Hadera still gives them.

Same - are there some decent breakfast places within a couple minute walk of the hotel that aren't too expensive?

Here is the response i received from them on FB:

"Breakfast is included in the price that we offer on the website, but since you are redeeming your points, in this case the breakfast is not included, and you will get your room without any meals."

I also booked while it was still included, but doesn't seem like they care. Debating if I should switch hotels, the value is just so good on points, but might be worth switching to a bigger, nicer hotel that comes with breakfast.

Do they upgrade elite members or any other recognition for elite status?

Wyndham's website is showing ZERO availability for this hotel. When you go on the Tryp Jerusalem website for the hotel itself, it shows available (as does all third party booking sites). Did they stop allowing you to book through Wyndham? And most importantly, award stays?
I recently tried booking with price line and I called them and they told me that there is no availability period. When I called the hotel itself they confirmed there are rooms available. So somethings not right in the system.

BTW while its a nice hotel, and have friendly service with tea, coffee and a complimentary breakfast, the lobby and standard rooms are teeny, I barely got my stroller through the door. Also, the bathroom is literally right next to the bed with glass door, a little blacked out on the bottom portion of it, so It can get really awkward etc. The towels they provide match the room size. The rain shower is cool though. I dont think i would go back.
