Starting to show signs of wear

I’ve been staying here whenever I come to the area to visit family and the staff and service are still great. However, the hotel is starting to show signs of wear and tear and could use some cleaning in specific areas. The room still felt clean and well kept, but the pool was in major need of a deep clean, especially around the rim of the waterline. Also, the carpets in the elevators and heavy use areas could either be cleaned or replaced. It would restore the feel of the hotel to how it was when it first opened. Also, perhaps the thinnest paper plates are not the best idea for breakfast. Anything slightly moist, seeps through them quickly and onto the table surfaces.
