The elevator wasn’t working and I have difficulty using stairs. The person behind the desk is seldom there and there is no bell to get their attention. Also, why is the swimming pool boarded up?

Friendly Faces

The guys at the front desk were super helpful in accommodating our wishes. (Ground floor as opposed to 2nd or 3rd floor), they also were friendly and welcoming to us. The three of us are Deaf. The lady in the dining room was very friendly as well.
