Avoid While Under Renovation
This last year @Clarington has been a mess. The building has been under significant construction so we haven't been able to use the gym/pool (pool was briefly re-opened after the summer). We're frustrated that we signed a lease for a building with these facilities at a higher cost than a building without them, and then didn't get to use the facilities...but we did get to keep paying that high cost!
In addition, for the last month, my husband has been woken up by a repetitive deep thrum. At 4 AM... today we tracked it down to the elevator operation room 2 floors away. Note, our elevator is 6 months behind it's inspection.
I understand renovations always take longer than planned, and I'm not upset the hallways are a mishmash of finished and unfinished painting or that some hallway floors are completely unfinished. I was even okay with our elevator being behind inspection - I'll take the long way out of the building!
With renos it gets worse before it gets better BUT I am upset about paying for facilities I don't have access to, and after a month with poor quality sleep due to the elevator my patience is gone.
