The property was closed near the end of 2012. I doubt there are any left over staff prior to the shutdown
Hmm. It seems that there are reviews on TA from most of 2013 and all of 2014 for this property. No one seemed to have anything really awful to report about it. Are you sure your information regarding a shutdown is correct?

P.S. - My apologies if linking to TA is forbidden on FT, but it is quite relevant in this case.
