Acceptable stay marred by service issues

comfortable bedsinexperienced staffkey malfunction
The beds were comfortable, this was a plus.
The front desk staff lacked experience. Check-in involved issues with card payments and dollar exchange. room keys frequently failed, causing repeated trips to the reception and delays of up to 30 minutes, it happened daily during my three-night stay.
