One reviewer said "this place exists only to prey on the under privileged" and I could not agree more! Now prepare yourself for a LONG list of complaints cause this is the most honest review you're ever going to read about this place! Here we go...
PROS:
--MUCH better than South Cove apartments (across the street).
--Tile floors
--Good option for those who are DESPERATE & can't sign a lease or pay a large security deposit.
CONS:
--They don't let you pay weekly unless you've been here a few months.
--In a bad part of town where you can't walk 3 blocks without getting solicited 5 times for sex or drugs.
--People yelling in the alley at all times of the night which security does nothing about.
--If you dare stand outside your door to get fresh air you'll get yelled at by security or staff. And when I brought it up to courtney she ACTUALLY said its a "fire hazard". YES, she REALLY said that LOL
--They deal in cash, and should you want to pay by card, be prepared for a HEFTY surcharge! They charge a 4% fee if you use your card (which is equivalent to about $20) They literally EXPLOIT & take advantage of their OWN PAYING tenants for simply using their credit card!!!! WOW. Nice job, Siegel! That has to be one of the most shady & corrupt things I've heard a company do.
--Lived here 5 months & lost count of how many times we've sprayed for cockroaches yet we are STILL infested. And yes we keep our apartment tidy & SPOTLESS! We even sealed up some holes & cracks but they still get in.
--Wi-Fi internet is a complete RIP OFF at $13/week for basic & more for high-speed, but it HARDLY EVER WORKS!
--They let ANYONE in here (drug dealers/addicts, prostitutes, etc) I saw a tweaker move in next door to us & get kicked out within 24 hrs. So instead of refusing service to him immediately they stole his money first and THEN kicked him out! I'm not a fan of drug addicts but that's pretty low, Siegel! Its alllllll about the benjies to this greedy corporation!
--They need to take a course in CUSTOMER SERVICE, ETHICS & HOSPITALITY & learn how to APOLOGIZE (especially courtney). She gives attitude with ANY LEGITIMATE complaint you have but gives no explanation, apology, NADA! And the "managers" here are no better! If you have a complaint call CORPORATE because even though he probably doesn't care either at LEAST he's professional & courteous
--I also had to ask about the Siegel Rewards program because no one told us about it the ENTIRE FIVE months we were staying here. When I finally asked about it courtney said it really wasn't worth getting anyway. Um, REALLY, courtney?? Hopefully now you all see that they truly don't give a f--- about anything except PROFIT.
--They also post pictures of BRAND NEW studios on Craig's list but the studios are in desperate need of renovation. Do not buy into their LIES & false advertising! Our studio was in need of renovation when we moved in with paint stuck to the shower curtain because they'd rather choose laziness & the easy, cheap way over fixing the problem. Really, Siegel? Covering up your disgusting rust & other nastiness with PAINT?! And not even waiting for it to dry before hanging up the curtain? WOOOOW! Speechless. The paint was already allllll chipped off the first night we moved in so EPIC FAIL on their part!
--The stair way by the dumpsters are not even. I've fallen twice & so has my boyfriend. I'm amazed no one has gotten really hurt. (Picture attached for proof). PLEASE be careful on these stairs!
*Sigh* that's all I can think of for now but I'm sure this is MORE than enough for you to get a good glimpse into Siegel Suites.
