Staff not friendly elevator out of service months

June 3, 2022 - Review from Apartments.com
The management staff isn't very friendly and or helpful. Elevator has been out of service for months. The smart technology doesn't work as advertised. Garage door has been out of service numerous times. Pool is rarely open as you have to beg managent to unlock the doors. Coffee bar is not stocked regularly. Close to campus but the staff is unfriendly, unavailable, forgetfull and just talk down to every one.
