The rooms are tiny, and inconvenient. The only reason we’re in lodging instead of the dorms is because there’s two of us, and the rooms are not set up with two people in mind. There’s only one dresser, and for two people who just moved their entire lives to a new place there isn’t enough space. The bed being set at an angle is the most inconvenient and idiotic thing I’ve ever seen, whoever had that idea needs to be fired. There’s 0 space to move around in the room. The bed is also tiny. Once again, most people are staying in lodging due to a pcs, meaning there are going to be two of them. Heaviest doors ever and no doorstops, making any attempt to bring anything in with you into an entire fiasco. And you can forget about closing the door quietly. You’ll be constantly awoken by peoples doors slamming all throughout the night. Also, there’s no breakfast options available so any dependents have to live off of pop tarts and ramen from the downstairs store, or have to walk through the cold to the bx/shoppette/commissary anytime they want to eat in the mornings. The room had no conditioner when we arrived and only one roll of toilet paper, even though we were there for an extended stay. On that same topic, housekeeping was impossible to get in touch with to get more toiletries, but at the same time constantly stopped by early in the morning, waking up sleeping dependents. All that can be overlooked if there were an adequate number of pet rooms available. Having to find pet boarding and arrange for pet care, and then having to pay for it out of pocket after just moving our entire lives to a new place was pretty difficult and honestly could’ve just been remedied if there were an adequate number of pet rooms. Seeing as many military families have pets and move pretty consistently, I don’t think that having a proper number of rooms is too big an ask. Last but not least, why the hell do the trash trucks come at 5 in the morning? People are trying to sleep and they’re banging giant metal containers around and dumping heavy items into their giant metal backs at times when people are trying to get the last vital moments of sleep. Not to mention the beeping every time they back up (which is annoyingly constant since there’s multiple trash cans). All in all the staff is amazing, friendly, and helpful… but the actual product feels like the bare minimum, and very poorly thought out. I know this is going to fall on deaf ears, and nothing is going to be changed, but at least now you’re aware of the problems.
