Acceptable Stay with Minor Issues

crystal pool spacious room stocked kitchen dirty floor uncomfortable bed loud sleep
The resort offers many activities for kids. There is a swimming pool that was crystal clear. Our spacious room included many extras at an affordable price. It had good heating and well-stocked kitchen.
The provided bungalow needs a remodel. The floor and carpet were very dirty. I found the beds not comfortable at all. We could hear everything happening above us, resulting in a loud sleep.
