Our first room had a strong smell forcing us to sleep with windows wide open, after mentioning this to management we were shifted to the suite next door which was 100% better, cleaner, bigger and brighter. We were very grateful to management who were very accommodating. They explained that the original room had just had its carpets cleaned, Over all Waves suited us well, location is excellent, property is a little tired but good value, kitchen and amenities were all good.
