These people are the most dishonest people I’ve met in business in a very long time. First, they charged our credit card after promising not to until we decided whether we wanted to use their facilities or not. When called on that they lied and then when proven lied, the husband physically threaten me on more than one occasion. If there’s one thing in Business, you don’t do is you don’t lie. If there’s another thing you do in business, you don’t physically threaten the people that are supposed to be your customers. I wouldn’t wanna deal with these people in business, as their student, or in any facet of life. In my experience, these are just not good people.
