Acceptable stay, issues noted

I had some problems . Someone from housekeeping took one of our room cards while we were out. The front desk didn't seem too concerned. They just offered to issue another card. the room service wasn't what I expect from a hotel of this brand. There were marks on the bedsheet from the first day. Housekeeping did not change our bedsheets the next day. The marks were still there.

breakfast range relaxing spa
The buffet breakfast offered a good range, and everything I ate was good. The kitchen prepares omelettes upon request. The pool and spa provided relaxation after city walks. ,but the pool was awesome!
The walls are pretty thin. I could hear a child shouting in the room next door.
