This place is AWFUL! The only two good things about the Sheraton are the safety (main door is locked at all times) and the large size of apartments. Otherwise, this place is a total nightmare! First, the hallways and the elevators smell so bad all the time, I literally have to hold my breath while going up to my apartment and I live on the seventh floor! Second, there are no fan vents in the kitchen or bathroom, so whenever you cook, the smell lingers around for days and air refresher just doesn't cut it. Third, there are gaps in the windows so bugs easily fly in attracted by the light; I seriously just duct-taped all my windows to prevent this problem knowing that the office won't do anything about it. Fourth, parking absolutely SUCKS! It's impossible to park around here especially if you come home later in the evening because of the restaurant customers. Fifth, roaches, roaches, ROACHES! They are EVERYWHERE! Kitchen, bathroom, bedroom! Every time I even attempt to cook, roaches just start running around my kitchen. It seems like the pest control that they do here doesn't help this problem.
I only moved to Birmingham less than 2 months ago for graduate school and I seriously can't wait till my lease is up. Living at the Sheraton was probably the worst decision I've ever made!
