All the staff are amazing, friendly, helpful, caring. The property is so run down - the hallways, carpet. rooms in good shape. Pool area terrible, dead plants, weeds, pool is dirty and has mold. The lobby is warm, the hallways warm. Fans everywhere. Ran out of food at breakfast by 815am. very slow to refill, brought undercooked bacon.
