"⭐ 1 Star Review Title: Dishonest Company – Unfair Deductions and Zero Integrity I had a terrible experience with this company. After moving out, their own inspector, Mr. Sergio, confirmed that everything in the property was in perfect condition. The only charge discussed was for cleaning two room carpets — nothing else. Despite that, the company went ahead and made an unjustified and unfair deduction that was never agreed upon. There were no damages, no clear explanation, and absolutely no integrity in how they handled the situation. This kind of dishonest behavior and poor management is completely unacceptable. It shows a total lack of professionalism and ethics. I strongly advise anyone considering working with this company to be extremely cautious — document everything and don’t trust verbal agreements. Their actions have proven them to be unreliable and untrustworthy" - Hana…

"I've lived at Magnolia NOT SO GRAND since the October,2023 & for the first 4 Months it was very good, the food, the people and Staff were great! When another company acquired Magnolia Grand in January of 2023 things started to go "Down Hill"! The Quality of Food, Services & Overall Life deteriorated to the point that life here became much Harder to enjoy! I was told in Oct. of 2022 that Brand New Exercise equipment was going to be installed. In the Early Summer of 2023 we inquired about the New Exercise equipment and we were again told (And I Quote) The New Exercise Equipment has been purchased and would be installed before the end of summer!
