No Signs. No warning. No announcements. No info on any city webpage. Just closed on a Friday night at 7:45pm when it says it is supposed to be open until 9:00pm. Big Fail !! Grrrrrrrrr
Great car show put together by Twisted Steel. Lots of great cars, music and people....
Ms jean has a bright personality and work ethic to help this place keep its shape up! She is the hardest worker I’ve seen cleaning and keep us happy and safe. Tricia does amazing running building. We’re appreciative of all the hard work you guys put into your jobs as this something for me to feel at peace in ❤️
I was purposely given incorrect information to get me to come back. Before leaving, I specifically asked if I still had one day left on my prepaid account and even asked the staff member to double check. I was told yes. When I returned, I was rudely informed that I had no days left and the staff attempted to make it seem like the mistake was mine. This could have been handled with honesty and accountability, but instead it turned into poor customer service and an uncomfortable interaction. Very disappointing experience.
