Reviewer Update
i would like to rectify a naming mistake in my review, The concerned Managers name is Charlie from whom I received bad customer service, My humble apologies to Lennox, the staff gave me the impression that the manager concerned went by the name of LENNOX. So the correct name of the manager is CHARLIE
