Quiet, modern, clean, and comfortable

Everything in our room was excellent and most things seemed very new. Excellent amenities, spacios room, and a comfortable bed. Nice pool to cool off. We especially appreciated the understanding from management when we lost our room key. The settlement was reasonable and doubtless below their cost. Great staff at reception upon arrival and thereafter when we had occaision to drop in. Laundry facilities also very handy and easy to use. One of our best stops on this trip.

The rooms look like they've been refreshed recently, with regards to flooring, the kitchen cabinetry, paint on the walls, etc. There were four chairs at the dining table, so one of us had to sit on the couch.
The kitchen has a hob to cook on, but no extractor above it. There are strongly worded warnings about not cooking odorous foods and leaving a smell. Presumably previous visitors left a mess/smell.
The carpet appeared clean, but had an undertone of uncleanliness to it, like it needed a proper deep clean. The beds were fine, but the pull-out couch bed, while comfortable enough, had some stray wires and springs poking out.
The kids enjoyed the tennis court, soccer net, and basketball hoops.
There are a handful of strongly worded warnings in the guide book and on the walls, and while I appreciate they are to protect the business from unruly visitors, as conscientious guests we felt a bit put out.
It is very close to a shopping centre and other interesting sites.
