My family has rented Russell Hall a total of 3 times and never had a problem until our most recent party. When we got there we noticed blue glitter everywhere, sticky drops of stuff all over the chairs, cigarettes outside everywhere and trash in the parking lot. We had to clean before we could even begin to decorate which is ridiculous! We took some photos of proof to show to the venue renters. I called the following Tuesday to see about picking up my deposit and was told that we were being charged for not sweeping and mopping the hall! We in fact swept the entire place with the broom, then went over ig with the push duster and mopped the entire building! I told them that was completely false and we did in fact sweep and mop the whole place. They did not want to hear anything I said I told them.I had photo proof of how dirty the hall was before even having our party. We cleaned up so much trash that wasn't ours to clean up and still were charged. My family will never rent this venue or refer it to anyone ever again since they basically said we left the place very dirty. I will not do business with anyone that treats us like this ever again! read more
